Vests on Vests on Vests!!

The leaves are changing here on North Wayne Avenue, hot cider is being served at the Gryphon Cafe, and pumpkins have appeared on the steps of the Suburban Building, all signs that Fall has truly arrived. The rain we got over the weekend may have inspired you to snuggle inside, put on your Sorel slippers, and light a fire in the fireplace for the first time this season or maybe you layered up and headed into the rain in search of new Hunter Boots, a rain coat, or other warm clothing to better equip you for the change of temperature. No matter what your situation there is no denying that the perfect indoor to outdoor layering piece is a vest, and we have a ton of them!

Fashion Vests:
(Left) Toad & Co: Wildling Long Vest
Made out of recycled wool and polyester. We are crazy about this vest because it will make you look very trendy and you will feel like you are wrapped in a cozy blanket. 

(Right) Prana:
The top left - The Diva Vest 
Updated to have an asymmetrical zipper and this year we are carrying it in black. Bottom left - The Milly Vest 
This fantastic vest has just the right amount of shine and puff to add a pop to your outfit. 
Top right - Ava Vest
This is a synthetic filled vest with a wool polyester blend shell and sherpa lined hood. 

Patagonia Fleece:
(Top left) Better Sweater Vest 
Birch White and Black. It is definitely a customer favorite fleece. 
(Top right) Los Gatos Vest
This vest is incredibly fuzzy--you will put it on and never want to take it off. We carry this vest in Birch White, El Cap Khaki, Rustic Purple, and Smolder Blue. 
(Bottom left) Retro-X Vest 
Updated fit to be a little bit wider and a color blocked pocket making it more similar to the men's Retro-X. We love this vest in Underwater Blue and Taylor Grey.
(Bottom right) Snap-T Vest
Here you see it in Wild Desert: Prairie Gold but we also have it in Nickel with Navy Blue. This is a timeless piece in Nickel with a funky twist in the print. 

Synthetic Insulation: (the benefit of synthetic insulation is that it will stay warm even if it gets wet)
(Above Left) Patagonia: 
Left - Nano Air Vest  
The Air is a newer technology that feels much like wearing a sleeping bag. 
Right - Nano Puff Vest
The Nano Puff has a slicker face fabric that feels more similar to a down alternative. 

(Above Right) Left - The North Face: Thermoball Vest
We carry this vest in silver with a silver zipper, giving a technical piece a more fashionable vibe
Right - Arc'teryx: Atom Vest
This vest has synthetic insulation on the front and back and polyester paneling on the sides giving it a really flattering fit. 

Down Insulation: (down is going to be warmer than synthetic insulation, but is often a bit puffier)
