One of the missing ingredients from my well rounded fall wardrobe is a good down vest. I've only had a couple in the past but I haven't been able to come across the right one in person lately. There are a number of great looking vests on the market this fall. Some are made in Canada or the USA, others are only found in Japan or the UK – with a fair number of variables, your ideal vest could come in wool, chambray, rip stop, have several pockets or no pockets, and of course come in a selection of weights. Here's a few of my favorites that I've seen this fall. My top choices are from Engineered Garments, Crescent Down Works and Rocky Mountain Featherbed.

I've been in the market for a down vest this season as well. Some great selections here. My favorite so far though, has been the Penfield for Edifice vests.
really like that engineered garments vest.who sells it ?
^Apparently Barneys and Bloomingdales have the vest, can't find it online anywhere in N.America though, so you'll have to visit one of the shops. I want it pretty badly...
