Very nice!!!! Was after a fly fishing vest….. Barbour used to do a nice spey one but had a look and can't seem to track the same one down!

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.

Not thrifted, but pretty damn cheap from eBay.

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

Belstaff x drizabone trialmaster.  125cm. Fits a 48" chest.  I'm not even gonna tell you what I paid for this.  I have somebody interested but if it doesn't work out it's up for grabs for any of you big boned motorbike gents.

[Megatron1505]

Fuuuuuuuck, I've been eyeing up one of those for weeks 

Let me know if your sale falls through Nate

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?

[Finn666]

they def. do scream geriatric…hell, even more than that!
give'em to the bin, should be the right place for them...just my 0.02 so don't worry

[jdl1279]

I'm not, truth be told the more someone says don't wear that, the more I want to I'm not trying to look like I'm still in my 20's either so…

[Jordan23]

Don't wear that!!!!!

…..waiting for fitpics!:D:D:D

Enjoy ya addiction!

[jdl1279]

I can pretend it's warm today, here you go Jordan an example of how they're likely to be worn. (Bad phone pics)

[sabergirl]

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.

[jdl1279]

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

[jdl1279]

Quite the mixed reaction. So far a vote for too old, too feminine, and too Don Johnson Still gonna wear em, but the reactions are great ::)
