Leather Bush Pilot Vest

From 1984, this Leather Bush Pilot Vest preceded the Leather Bush Vest. From the catalogue: “Bush pilots are a special breed–they’ll do somersaults to thrill the passengers, free falls in canyons just for fun. They’re rough, tough, worldly-wise and think they’re indestructible. Like it’s fearless namesake, this vest has the look of having rounded the block a few times–not jaded, exactly, but definitely not born yesterday. Made from already-broken-in cowhide, this vest has a wind flap, storm tab, and comforting wool blanket lining. Only a bulletproof vest would make you feel more invincible.”
