      I'd say that is a fishing vest.  The sheepskin patch is for putting flies in for easy and quick access and change of fly, the loop on the bottom right of the vest is for resting a rod butt in when standing in water and wanting to change a fly or other such thing that requires 2 hands…

            I used to have vests whose desirability was based on the number of pockets they had.  Now, if I can't get all I need in 2 shirt pockets and a small fanny pack when I am fly fishing, I'm carrying too much shit….

              My first vest which was a formative piece of clothing (I mentioned it in one of the threads here about our histories and what got us into clothes) was a denim vest, insulated and lined with flannel. It had a ridiculous number of pockets. I too am in the "less is more" camp these days. Only outerwear I wear regularly with more than three pockets is the IH M65.

                  Picked these up yesterday, new unworn condition. Thinking about tossing them on ebay, even though they fit me.

                            Time to poll the audience 😉 Cassie says these are too "old man" to pull off, I say to hell with that, as soon as the weather breaks I'm gonna start rockin these. So do they scream geriatric, or is this classic enough that they should become go to in the spring?

                                      I say rock 'em if you like 'em!!  They do look sort of old-mannish, but who cares?  Also, I think there are a lot of 20-something hipsters that might already be going with that look for maximum "irony", so your plan may backfire.

                                        Well thankfully most of the 20 something's here fall into the super urban category, so someone copping my look isn't such a big deal here  😉 They have a out of time feel to them that I like. I haven't seen any elder cats kicking around in these lately(or anyone else for that matter), so maybe that's why I don't get that vibe from them. They remind me of Florida in my youth a bit, Miami, the 80's, that whole feel
