Washing Instructions

A vest especially for the ladies, or so we thought. Originally designed for “Sommer T” a terrific shooting friend of ours from Indiana USA. The Sommer style vest was intended for the ladies who desire more than a men’s vest in ladies colours. It is minimalistic in its design and accoutrements and suited to shooting in fine to warm weather.

This vest looks its best on ladies when tailored to fit as a custom measure order.

Something a little unexpected?? Best has had requests from the gents for the Sommer style vest in colours more appealing to gentleman shooters. The Sommer style vest it would seem is now unisex. (Gents please note the Sommer style vest has an approx. 4cm smaller girth, than the chest measurement). Should you have any questions please contact us.
