Description

You don’t always need sleeves — but you do need warmth, durability, and pockets that can carry more than just a phone and a flat white.

The West Norrskog Wool Vest is a workhorse outer layer, built from the same tough stuff as Micklagaard’s legendary jackets: dense, silent 80% wool blended with 20% rayon for extra strength, durability, and water resistance. It’s the kind of vest you throw on over a flannel or under a cape and forget about — because it simply does its job.

Handmade in Sweden and made to order with a 6–8 week lead time, this vest is about function first. No branding. No fluff. Just bush-ready layering that stands up to cold mornings, field work, and quiet stalks through wet scrub.

Features:
80% Wool / 20% Rayon Fabric – warm, wind-blocking, and naturally water-resistant

Multiple front pockets – with flap closures for tools, snacks, or spare rounds

Heavy-duty YKK zipper – built for long-term use

Leather trim – vegetable-tanned Swedish reindeer leather

Reinforced shoulder seams – extra durability where it counts

Unisex fit – suitable for men and women

Handmade in Sweden – 6–8 week made-to-order wait

Why a Vest?
When full sleeves are overkill and a shirt’s not enough, a proper wool vest fills the gap. It keeps your core warm, your arms free, and your gear close. From splitting kindling to glassing hilltops, the West Norrskog is made for real movement in real conditions.

Fit Notes:
Cut for layering over shirts, flannels, and base layers

Size true if layering; size down for a tighter fit

Unisex design – works for anyone who works
