This Brown's vest ended yesterday

the Carhartt short cap mentioned above

This came in today. It's not a Brown's, but it's also not $500.

I think it's a bit short when buttoned, but I like it open.

It's a bit longer in the back.

odd checker pattern around openings

the checkered pattern is the remnents of sleeves. i can't remember exactly what this was called, but i have seen the full version with full checkered sleeves. Nice find by ythe way

 

[Lefty]

Thanks. I kind of had that feeling as to the possibility of sleeves. I'll have to check out the old catalog scans around here to see if i can find anything.

Interesting details we usually associate with workwear on a silk dress shirt.

Looks cool. Can't find more about it. Is it hard to get or not even published?

Most likely only out in Japan at the moment

They probably have it at Kinokuniya book store on 6th. Ave.

A bit off topic, but that leghorn in the photo looks awfully familiar.

Did anyone contact Kinkuniya to find out if they have that Mono mag yet?

Keep checking back with amazon-Japan, Matt...they carry Mono but I don't see this issue listed yet.

Good call. I didn't find a Bean version, but this sure looks right. It's pretty easy to see how the sleeves would wear out well ahead of the vest.

Just called Kinokuniya in NYC and got the last copy...pretty pricey though at $62 + shipping. Better be a big *** catalog!
