Jackpine Vest

One garment. Countless personalities. Our Jackpine Vest shields you from wind chill on the morning commute, then compliments your Tattersall shirt at lunch. Strap it to your pack to extend a hike in sketchy weather, or nest it deep inside the layers you wear on the most bitter days.

The waistcoat <vest> began as a classy addition to men's wear in the 1600's. Once a staple for its sartorial and thermal properties, this 3rd member of the 3 piece suit falls in and out of fashion. But outdoorsmen, free from the critical eye of the crowd, understand the logic of heating the body's core without restricting mobility. Here at ECW, we try to make make them look good in case you're out in public.

Our Jackpine Vest is slimmer than our Wool Blanket Shirt or Camp Coat, but loaded with utility. The deep, zippered hand warmer pockets and dual chest pockets hold gear close to your torso so it's always warm and ready for use. The front opening seals with rugged stainless steel snaps, that we anchor in webbing for ease of use and longevity. We line the low-profile collar and front panels with recycled polyester fleece for extra insulation and a soft texture. 

Our 80/20 wool blend material is perfect for casual or athletic pursuits. It's high loft, coupled with a natural ability to manage moisture, makes the Jackpine Vest perfect for an active afternoon, followed by a long evening in the lodge. The fibers shed stains and dirt, and shun the odor causing bacteria that send your synthetic garments to the car when the pace slows down. 

Fabric: 20 ounce imported wool/nylon (80/20 percent by weight) and 14 ounce domestic recycled polyester fleece. Colors: Olive Green, Navy Blue, or Burgundy. Call or email for color availability. Sizes: XS-XL. Machine or hand wash cold, gentle cycle with mild soap, air dry, expect lint.
