Rugby Reintroduces Their Tweed Vest

Among Ruby’s new arrivals, it looks like they’ve reintroduced their Camford brown tweed vest. This model, if I remember correctly, was around two or three years ago, but wasn’t available last winter. Now it looks like it’s back for another go. 

The vest reminds me of this post from one of the best menswear blogs of all time, 13th & Wolf.  The blog is no longer updated, but if you poke around the site, you’ll see that AKC knows his stuff better than anyone else. 

Here he wears the same vest in five different ways, showing how you can layer it with tailored jackets, knits, coats, and even other vests. The trick here is to just make sure that the outermost layer is always thicker or heavier than the tweed vest itself. Also, as AKC reminds us, “Depending on the scale of the herringbone, the vest could go very well with slate colored cords, brown moleskin pants, navy chinos or really anything else. Just be sure to play with the proportions, like if it’s a larger herringbone pattern I would stick with a smaller wale cord and vice versa.” That’s great advice for anything you wear, even if you don’t decide to get this vest.
