The 1937 Roamer Vest is a 1930s work waistcoat. The cut is straight and offers the possibility for a lot of freedom of movement. Three pockets on the outside and one inside pocket round off the image of the waistcoat.As the year suggests, the waistcoat has its historical origins in the 19th century. At that time, waistcoats were worn to protect shirts from dirt and damage. For this reason, waistcoats were cut in a more tailored way so that they would catch as little as possible on edges and the like.
We have used a coarse Herringbone Tweed as the fabric for our “Dundee grey” edition.
