Description

The Red Buffalo Plaid Wool Messenger Vest by ts(s) is inspired by outdoor excursion and utility vests for cyclists, using elements from technical and workwear garments in an anatomically designed fit. This vest is made in an exclusively developed 12 oz. Japanese Wool Blend using 85% Virgin Wool and 15% Nylon for durability, drape, and form. This woolen fabric is woven with dyed yarns to create a new iteration of a classic Buffalo Plaid, pattern-matched with precision. Designed and developed by Takuji Suzuki with an experimental approach to traditional menswear influences, this garment is crafted in Japan for the classic enthusiast seeking the avant-garde of heritage. The Messenger Vest is expertly darted and unlined for a perfected drape with evolved elements like a buttoned stand collar with a concealed cotton broadcloth hood, a two-way YKK zipped placket with buttoned tab closure, a unique bellow concealed zipped chest pocket and lower flap front patch cargo pockets, an enlarged back messenger pocket, and is finished with a banded placket, armholes, hem, and yoke with rolled seams throughout. The Red Buffalo Plaid Wool Messenger Vest will become that style-forward icon crafted with traditional quality and designed with ingenuity.
