Dusty BC Vests

Vests are tough. They either really make an outfit or really make you look like an extra in a Western.

Sidle up to the trend with Dusty BC. Made by Elisa Randazzo (whom we love for creating the pretty Cameo collection), these black and gray cotton twill saloon vests get it right.

For the ladies, the smaller sizes are cut close but aren’t skintight. And without bust darts, there’s no looking like a brothel madam. For men, they’re seamless enough to fit under a jacket without being bulky and feel more Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy than Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute.

Really quite a trick.
