The Utility Vest

A base layer for an outdoor wardrobe and a C'est Normal office favourite. The most useful layer in autumn: over a t-shirt, over a knit, together with a jacket when the temps drop. Lightly padded under a water repellent nylon and cotton shell, so it holds warmth across the chest without the bulk of a second coat. Eight pockets, two of them inside the quilted lining and sized for gloves.
