yeah i'm talking more quilted barbour and technical stuff like north face and "too posh to wash" and red trousers, etc. got no beef with tweed. i think i might actually be imagining the whole look.

trucker vest is definitely a different feeling, e.g.

no i know exactly the look you mean, it is sort of overpowering and you know the exact type of person when you meet them. usually really badly fitting gilets too, like it's a uniform and it doesn't matter how you wear it.

i need shasta's help with sizing before i risk ordering from that sale though (would have to ship to friends, etc.), by which time it will be too late : (
xp, ha, yes, i was hoping it was all a dream.

not wearing it at the moment cos I'm home but normally wear a Khoti type Islamic waistcoat as part of my outdoor/day wear. Find it really handy for carrying things in pockets like walkman, camera, and all the other things I carry, (mini-torch, ersatz swiss army knife, lighter, travel toothbrush, lipbalm, little stone skull etc etc)
is getting a bit worn in the lining so I'm trying to get hold of a couple of others. This one has been very useful cos it was cut a bit shorter than others I've had, that means it doesn't hang below my outside jacket. Want to get more of these things thi short.
