The last one might sell well. Rising sun, RRL and others made repros with halfmoon pockets. People buy what they already know and what others showed them.

You're absolutely right, Florian.
These are also a lot more practical as a fashion item than the shotgun shell vests are. This one has the two pockets on the front, two on the back , two inside, and the game pouch. A lot better for putting your iphone in.
I seem to remember last time someone posted one of these there were questions about what the half-moon was for. It's just a front pass-through to the game pouch. This Red Head is from the 1930s. Many earlier vests and jackets had the same type of pass-through on the front, but it was cut square. Those don't fetch anywhere near the price of these, probably because, like you say, it's the round-pocketed ones which are being reproduced.

Nice stuff!

I've got several pieces but I think this is my oldest... I'm just not sure quite how old it is. Help is appreciated! I can't find out much about Super Dux but there seems to be an association with Carhartt.

My camera doesn't do well with reds. This coat is a nice deep color.
