RL Puffer Hunting Vest



I tried to put it out of my mind, but I can't resist. There's a lot going on with this hunting vest by Ralph Lauren.  But I mean that in a good way. It has juuuuuust the right combination of 2 trends currently on the radar right now- the hunting jacket/vest and down-filled vesting.  Here's the pro's for me:

  • Not too puffy and a slim fit despite the quilting and "heavier" details like the field pockets.



  • The use of materials- cotton quilting, corduroy accents, leather shoulder patch and neck roll strap- are complimentary.



 






  • The absolutely fantastic plaid lining (I think Mr. Wastler from all plaidout would approve.)  





















The  Bottom Line: The choice of colors in high and low browns and tans (combined with the mix of materials) really play nicely together in a great Fall layer.
