We Are Not Always Sartorially Splendid

Jeff Wignall over at Black Star Rising writes in defense of the photographer’s vest.

Yes, I own one.

Yes, I have owned several. Why? Because I wore them out. Because they are functionally superior in many ways and I am not vain.

Stop laughing.

My favorite is the now-discontinued Banana Republic vest (which now appears to be made again and sold under the Campco name). When I heard they were being discontinued, I bought two spares … I have one left. It may last forever as my wife won’t let me wear it outside of the house.

Wait … she also won’t let me wear it inside the house.
