Ralph Lauren Black Label - Dune Vest

Although it has absolutely nothing to do with the novel by Frank Herbert it's still a masterpiece of design. With wind-resistant tech fabric, military details, and multiple pockets this vest should get you through any challenge the day may bring... except the the deep desert of Arrakis, for which we'd recommend the stillsuit.

Barbour Polarquilt Waistcoat

Typically when "quilted" is used as a selling point it involves a completely different type of product. And although this jacket is soft & strong, it's purpose is to protect you in a different manner altogether. All joking aside, this vest is great when worn over a shirt or when zipped into several of Barbour's waxed cotton outerwear pieces for an extra layer of warmth.
