Leather Gilet Shooting Vest Mens XXL Quilted Lining Handmade 1980's Germany
Thanks for looking
If you're reading this then you'll already know exactly what you're looking at!
This is a vintage shooting/hunting Gilet made from thick cowhide with a quilted lining. It features all the extra pockets and compartments one would require to store shells and all your spare shooting equipment. It also has a turn up storm collar to keep out the wind in adverse weather conditions.
The jacket was handmade in Germany - it's a bespoke piece so there is no brand but judging by the high quality of the leather, the double stitched seams (for extra strength) and the care label we can deduce that it was hand crafted in Germany in the late 1980's or early 90's.
Condition
This is the best part! It's not a brand new item and one of the zips on the pockets (see pic) is missing it's tag. It still works but is a bit more fiddly than the rest of the zipped pockets. Other than that there are no issues. It's obviously a very high quality piece and despite being forty years old it'll easily last another forty if you look after it.

...Not the greatest description of all time but you get the general idea. Ai isn't as clever as it thinks it is...yet!
