Workwear Vest | 12oz Indigo-Dyed Canvas | Wabash Discharge Print | Sleeveless | American Vintage

Discharge-dyed garments have been a favorite among seasoned vintage collectors since their inception. The distinctive 12oz indigo-dyed canvas adorned with classic polka dots makes this piece a coveted treasure for vintage aficionados. RED TORNADO invested considerable effort into developing this unique fabric. Few dye houses are willing to work with indigo dye due to its labor-intensive and time-consuming nature, as it requires dedicated production lines. Most brands opt for yarn-dyed indigo for their discharge fabrics. Achieving such a deep blue hue typically involves passing through at least 16 dye baths while maintaining colorfastness. After numerous trials and tests, RED TORNADO finally achieved the ideal indigo-dyed fabric. RED TORNADO based this vest on the FW-style discharge-dyed model, perfectly replicating its silhouette and intricate details. It features custom YKK buttons and solid brass buckle closures. All four pockets are functional, with the top-left pocket offering both a side watch pocket opening and a top pen slot. The garment has undergone high-temperature washing, ensuring it won't shrink further. This vest is designed to fade beautifully; adding salt during washing can help set the color. Fellow denim enthusiasts will appreciate the guaranteed fading, but those sensitive to color transfer should exercise caution. / Product Information / - FW-0015 - 100% Cotton - Blue and White Stripe - Indigo-Dyed Canvas - Pre-Shrunk - Four Pockets - Custom YKK Buttons - Solid Brass Buckle Closures - Triple-Needle Armhole Construction - Handcrafted Individually / Care Instructions / - Indigo-dyed items may release excess dye during the first wash.
