New with tags in a size 44. This cost me $675 from Standard & Strange and sold out on the day of release. The Christy is a legendary vest and this collab with Warehouse is its best iteration, both in terms of style and quality of materials (e.g., using horsehide instead of cowshide for the leather yoke). A pretty regular fit, although I'd recommend sizing up if between sizes due to the thickness of the down.

From Standard & Strange:

A special seasonal collaboration between Warehouse & Japan's Rock Mountain Featherbed, this is RMFB's iconic Christy Vest with a few upgrades. This model features a special colorway selected by Warehouse & a horsehide leather yoke (instead of the usual cowhide one).

The Christy Vest features a 3-layer construction, with a thick, windproof and water-resistant nylon taffeta outer shell and lining, with 90/10 European down fill that has been treated for additional water resistance. "90/10" refers to the ratio of down to feathers, with 90% down fill and 10% feather fill - this is the highest possible ratio of down, ensuring the highest quality insulation.

The filling hits the perfect midweight, clocking in at 700 down fill - a very respectable level, just shy of the upper limit of 900 (extremely warm) and well above the fill floor of 350 (pretty warm). The collar is all American mouton, soft, warm, and stylish.

The nylon shell has been reproduced with incredible attention to detail. Working backwards from vintage RMFB garments, the custom nylon taffeta is produced exclusively for Rocky Mountain Featherbed, to their exact specifications. The tightly woven fabric uses 260 individual threads to recreate the feel and water resistance of the original fabric without needing an acrylic coating.

It's finished with the signature one piece western yoke, made entirely from combination tanned horsehide. Brass pearl front snaps close the whole thing up, same as the originals. The handwarmer pockets are split, allowing you to keep your hands and objects separate (because who can warm their hands with a pocket full of keys and loose change). Inside, a single zip pocket is tucked away for storing your most precious treasures.

Fits true to size. Dry clean or spot clean if necessary.
