Henry White of Ireland Tweed-Lined Country Vest
Founded in 1929 (when it was known as Sty-lex) Henry White took the name of its founded in 1952, and has been trading as Henry White since. Focusing on traditional town and country clothing with an emphasis on classic Irish fabrics and patterns, Henry White is a rarity--a flourishing family-owned clothing business.
This lovely country vest is quintessentially Henry White. A classic country style, the shell is rain-resistant cotton is a classic drab olive with a lovely contrasting country check tweed lining; this has been quilted for warmth. The vest has a classic oversized corduroy collar for protection against wind, and fastens both with a beautifully fluid zipper and with snap studs. (The studs feature the White logo of a falling leaf.) The vest can be cinched tight at the waits with two side-adjusters.
This was, of course, Made in Ireland, and is in excellent condition. Perfect for layering under an oversized tweed or over an Aran sweater, and in excellent condition, this is a bargain at just $35, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
Measurements:
Chest (armpit to armpit): 21 3/4
Length (top of collar to bottom at back): 29
