Buzz Rickson's 'Aviation Associates' Gobelin Weaving Co. Military Vest - Camo

1 / 3

Field Notes

Part of the brand's Aviation Associates line, this camo military vest is made from a historic Gobelin tapestry weave. This incredibly high quality fabric dates back to the 15th century and was produced in France by the Gobelin family workshop, later acquired by Louis XIV and established as the Royal Gobelin Manufactory. The textile is made with thick yarns and is characterised by its ability to reproduce delicate, painterly patterns, as well as maintaining strength and durability. Buzz Rickson's have utilised this historical fabric to reproduce a frog skin beach camo, combining a military print with a historical textile. The vest boasts a wool lining, perfect for the colder months and the layering nature of the vest allows you to easily incorporate this item into a variety of outfits.
