Vintage Uniform Long Wool Vest w Brass buttons Unisex Sz S M ladies tweed jacket the Abraham & Straus nameThis is an unusual vintage long wool vest. It looks to me to be a uniform of some sort, perhaps something that a doorman would have worn but could be worn by either gender. This long wool vest is made of tightly woven black wool with red trim. There is a faux pocket flap at either side. The upper opening and the pockets are decorated with numerous brass stud like buttons. The vest closes at the waist with a hook and eye and there is a gold chain loop
