Light Duck Reversible Vest BR-25374

"Most Notable Workwear Item"

The plain-woven fabric, crafted from heavy cotton yarns at high density, is known as duck or canvas. Among these, the type standardized and commonly used in the U.S. is called duck fabric. Its history dates back to the 18th century when it was used as sailcloth, later becoming a key material for durable outdoor gear. Valued for its high durability and flame resistance, it was loved by workers and hunters alike. Thanks to its practicality, it has now become a staple in fashion as well. This highly sought-after item is now available in a reversible design.

"A Piece That Combines Style and Wearability"

Duck fabric, whose name is derived from the Dutch word doek referring to linen canvas, has long been used for sails, tents, and artist canvases. Its durability and the character it gains over time have recently brought it back into focus in the vintage market. While traditional heavy cotton is extremely sturdy, it can feel quite heavy. For this reason, BARNS OUTFITTERS has deliberately chosen a lighter version known as “light duck.” Finished with a simple design and a reversible construction, this piece is highly versatile and can complement any style. The neckline is finished with ribbing for added comfort.

The generously sized armholes provide a comfortable fit that won’t feel bulky, even when layered over sweatshirts or fleece.

Pockets are placed on both the duck canvas side and the quilted side, with a playful twist in the way they are attached to add visual interest.

The durable duck fabric is designed to develop character over time, while the quilted side traps heat, providing warmth beyond its appearance. A piece you can enjoy from autumn through spring.
