No.169 Garrison Vest | LE Suede Tan

Despite being an established brand since 1981, we still maintain high quality standards by keeping our production smaller. It’s not a marketing gimmick but a brand philosophy to build products in smaller batches and ensure better quality standards. This is one of the reasons you will see products are SOLD-OUT more often on our website

How To Place A “Reserve Order” | Message In The CHAT
This is a product that we make year-round or seasonally and in most cases can be ordered for you with a RESERVE ORDER when SOLD-OUT. A “Reserve Order” is similar to a “HOLD”. We simply require a partial deposit to place the order for you. It can be cancelled and refunded at any time and you can return the un-used product within 30-days. The Reserve Order helps us to determine what we have committed and what needs to go into our production. We don’t build it on demand, but it expedites the next production run for that product. Simply send a message in the CHAT below and we will confirm availability and an estimated lead-time for the order. You can also email or call during business hours to make the request. 

This product is a Seasonal or Limited Edition item that is not always available. Our production runs for Limited Edition products are generally from 5-20 units, so they are quite small and very special. In most cases they are exclusively available on our website unless otherwise noted.

Our steerhide suede is a 2.5-3oz soft “garment grade” suede. Suede leather has a casual and slightly American Western appeal dating back to the 1960’s. Today it is used in luxury luggages, footwear and for us, Western vests and jackets. Suede is the section of the leather that sits under the “top grain”. When the split leather is exposed it is sanded and buffed in several stages to give the leather a fine velvet like “nap”. Without the top grain, suede leather is generally a drapey, soft leather. Because it is a suede or split leather, pours are more open and can absorb more oils, water and general dust/dirt. It’s best to avoid water, but a little rain won’t damage the leather. It’s best to embrace suede leathers and allow them to age, darken and “dirty up” a bit in a good way. You can clean with a suede brush or leather erasers. 

This product features our original and signature CCW (Concealed Carry Weapon) pockets. Built on both the LEFT and RIGHT inside panels of the jacket or vest and accessible with a snap closure system. The pockets are lined with a durable 310 Denier nylon and a removable and adjustable retention strap/holster that is attached with Velcro®. 

When not used for CCW, the pockets are fully-functional and can be used for travel, wallets, documents or any other personal valuables.

We love building products a lot more than repairing them!  That’s why we design and build our products to last. We want the product to give you a lifetime of use, but if they fail due to a manufacturing defect, we will repair the product or replace it at little or no charge for the life of the product. 

There are some limitations and we do offer a “CLC Trade-In” program as well. Click here to read more about our complete warranty & trade-in policies.

Our vests and jackets are US sized in what we consider to be “TRUE TO SIZE”. Because our garments are graded in US even number sizes, they move up and down in smaller increments. 

In general, you should order 1-2” larger than your “upper chest” measurement. This also  depends on your "Fit Preference", so consider what you will wear under the vest and how you prefer the fit (slim tapering or full cut).  If you will layer with the jacket or live in a colder climate, you may want to lean towards 2-3" more than your chest. In most cases 1-2" above the largest section of your torso would be your "Order Size".

TALL CUT
A “Tall Cut” Vest will be 2” longer (front and back). Nothing else changes.
A "Tall Cut” Jacket will be 2” longer in the body and 1” longer in the sleeve.  

ALPHA SIZE to NUMERIC SIZE
Although alpha sizing is very different by manufacturer, a loose comparison would be as follows;
MED=40,42  | LRG=44,46 | XL=48,50 | 2X=52,54  | 3X=56,58
