Five-Pocket Vest

25 January 2026 --- Ralph   The Five-Pocket Vest is a new piece for us and has been very well received.  We need to make more but that will take until late 2026. As of right now, the Five-Pocket Vest is offered only in our 100% Wool Denim, in the Charcoal color.  We expect to offer this Vest in several other colors/Fabrics eventually. (Very few are aware that Denim is a way of weaving ... Denim is not a fabric.   We seem to be the only American source for 100% Wool Denim.  No cotton, no synthetic, nothing but 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool in our Denim.  Please visit our Denim Page for more info.) The Five-Pocket Vest is very much a crossover piece.   It will handle serious physical work, but it also looks natural with a dressy shirt and a tie.  It's cool enough for typical indoor temps but warm enough that some people will find it sufficient for temps below freezing. The Five-Pocket has five pockets: Chest pocket is an open-top (drop pocket) that will do a good job of holding a large cell phone Handwarmer pockets on each side are generously sized Inner zippered pockets on each side are large enough to secure a big cell phone Mostly, we don't use liners in our garments.   But we made an exception here because we wanted the inner zippered pockets but didn't want stitching showing on the outside of the Vest ... and because the Heritage Fabric we used for the inner lining will add substantial wind resistance, but at the same time will feel cool to the touch in warm weather because the our Heritage Fabric is 100% worsted yarn while the Denim outer is 100% woolen yarn.  (All our yarns are 100% WOOL!  But woolen-spun yarns are chubby and fuzzy while worsted yarns and skinny and slick.  Confusing terminology, I know.  There is some explanation on our Spinning Page.) Like all our Fabrics, both the Denim and the LightWeight are made with 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool.   This means the fiber used for the inside and outside of the Vest is the same. The Five-Pocket Vest can be worn in combination with some of our other pieces ... usually as an under layer, but possibly over the top.  The size Large layers well under a Large Chore Coat Model in photos is 5'11"(180.3 cm), 180lbs (81.7 kg), wearing size medium vest and medium chore coat in the charcoal and a large chore coat I the Walnut.
