25 year old mint Leica Vest
Never used, this needs to be used by someone who will appreciate it.
I will sell to best offer, and the best story of how you would use this vest.Jack
JackAt 25 years, it would be a toss up whether to frame it as a item of art, and
display it above my half century old Leica I inherited from my parents,
or to actually use it in the field. (I have some business suits that are
that old, still in great condition, that I enjoy wearing, so mere age is certainly
not a reason to keep this “in the closet”.)I am interested in YOUR story as to why this is unused after 25 years.
What is the material? What is the design (pockets, etc) ? What size is it?craig
The material is soft to the touch microfiber of some sort.
Net it feels good and is quiet.I got my first M6 in the early 80’s and preferred to use vests for photography back then.
I bought this vest then as the perfect combination of usable pockets and style. I ended up not using it as I preferred to downplay the brand of whatever gear I was using. I guess I could have put tape over the Leica name!The back of the vest has a full length red plastic zipper that would hold a small tripod or a wind breaker.
The label says designed for Leica rather than designed by Leica.If I don’t sell it, if I ever go to a Leica Historical meeting I will wear it then.

Too late, Jack. We officially changed the name to LHSA: The International Leica Society at the Pittsburgh meeting last week. No more “historical” in the name.
