Medium brown cropped vest that reaches to pants waistband but does not overlap it.
Front of vest is either ripstop or woven fabric (nylon or cotton recommended). Back of vest is woven fabric (cotton recommended).
Front of vest has ivory, light yellow, or light brown horizontal topstitching spaced approximately ¼-⅜in (6.35mm-9.52mm) apart.
Vest has front and armhole facings made of the same material used for the front of the vest. Facings have the same topstitching as the front of the vest. Vest has a red lining.
Vest is slightly padded, with thicker padding in the back.
Back of vest is quilted in a grid of slightly irregular squares and rectangles. The quilting extends vertically from mid-armscye to the waistband. It does not extend from side seam to side seam, but ends approximately 2-3in / 5-6.5cm in from the seams (proportional to wearer). Quilting is not visible as topstitched lines. Tie-quilting is recommended.
Vest has a short stand/mandarin collar approximately 1-1.5in (2.5-3cm) tall (proportional to wearer). Collar has three visible lines of topstitching. Front ends of the collar are angled and extend past the shoulder seam by approximately 1-1.5in (2.5-3cm).
Two lines of thick, pale yellow stitching run vertically down each front piece of the vest. There is one stitch in between each horizontal line of topstitching. Embroidery floss is recommended.
There are two horizontal strips of dark brown webbing above the front pockets. The webbing is approximately 1in / 2.5cm tall. The webbing is centered between the lines of yellow topstitching and extends slightly beyond the stitching on either side.

There are vertical strips of brown webbing on the insides and outsides of the center front opening of the vest. One piece of ridged black tubing is attached at the top and bottom to each piece of webbing. The tubing resembles 4 smaller tubes joined to create a single piece. The outer right webbing has a metal hook (similar to hooks on a vintage Czech army M-60 backpack or pair of suspenders) attached above the top of the tubing. The hook is a weathered black matte or dark gray matte color. There is a flattened metal snap or rivet at the bottom end of the tubing.
All lengths of tubing have a weathered black slider covering the top and bottom endpoints. The outer left length of tubing is longer than the others and hangs free of the vest.
A flap is attached vertically between the left front webbing and left front pocket. It is wide enough to cover the tubing and webbing when folded toward the center front. The flap is trapezoidal in shape, with the free edge being slightly shorter than the edge attached to the vest. The flap has a topstitched border.
Vest has a gathered waistband that is approximately 2-3in / 5-8 cm high (proportional to wearer). Waistband has 5 lines of topstitching. Left front of waistband has a heavily weathered silver badge with a red rectangular button. Right front of waistband has two black rectangular male buckle pieces. The ends of the waistband are interfaced/stabilized to lie flat, with no gathered/ruched effect.
Optional Details
Pocket gussets have a small silver-toned eyelet on the edge closest to the side seams.
There is a small rectangular patch underneath each armhole. There is a small, dark-toned eyelet/grommet in the patch. The patch is a darker shade of brown compared to the rest of the vest.
Front of the vest is nylon fabric; back of the vest is cotton.
