I finally was able to see a
Rocky Mountain Featherbed Vest in person.
The vest
that I hope to one day to own was in front of me. I couldn't remember
the last time that I was this excited in front of clothes.
The vest (I'm obsessed with the vest)
that on a weekly basis I check on eBay in hopes of being lucky and
finding it in affordable price was right in from of me not just one, but
in every material that I could desire. I honestly didn't want to leave
the booth. I was filled with questions that I thought were never going
to be answer.
I was always curious why
the vest were so expensive, but it all makes sense, when you get to see one in person.
You get witness the superlative meticulous craftsmanship. For example,
the down is hand stuff which is
unheard of. They use Hungarian goose down which is one of the best
quality goose down (North Face uses it). The nylon taffeta is very hard
to find, the jackets have 70-denier nylon
shell. The
leather yoke on vest isn't just for aesthetic reason it actually has a purpose. For example, they use a seamless single piece
leather yoke which is stronger than the two pieces seen on a Penfield.
The vest that really caught my eye is the classic Christy
Vest in Navy/Yellow color combo. There are better looking
vests, but that's my personal favorite. I'm sure the
camo
print one will be a collectible. My second favorite would have to be
corduroy. Corduroy just feels right in cold weather and ages
wonderfully. Honestly, all
the vests were my favorite I'll be happy owning any of them.
