Vintage 126 Style - Without Sleeves ?


Posted 05/09/17 in 

Was the 126 style ever made as just a vest, without removable sleeves? I've seen some vintage vests out there - particulary with the suede leather, such as the Kenny Rogers line version - that don't have sleeves attached, but don't seem to have zippers where sleeves would attach either.

There are several style vest that are similar to the style 126 without the sleeves. From 1979 to 1982 we had the Naked Cowhide/Nylon vest with Goose Down insulation style #123V. From 1980 to 1982 we had the Naked Cowhide/Nylon vest with a Sheepskin shawl collar and Goose Down insulation, which was style #143V. In 1983 we offered the style 193V same as 123V and the style 194V same as the 143V style except these vests had a Hollofil II insulation and not the Goose Down used in the 123V & 143V. The style 126 was not introduced into out line until 1987. I do not recall a vest in the same design as the 123V or a 143V with a split cowhide leather. We have made many split cowhide vests for our line and the style KR10V for the Kenny Rogers line we did but none that I can recall were insulated.
