Love mine and good to see they’ve just listed one in their heritage line on their site again.

Hey mate Wanting to see how you’re going with it, if you’ve had to reproof yet and how the fleece is holding up. Im looking to get one but living in TAS i might go for the lumberjack (basically the sleeved version) since its colder here Cheers

Hi mate! It’s a great vest, 100% the warmest piece of clothing I own. It’s a shame they don’t make it exactly like this anymore. The jacket would be good in Tasmania! I recently purchased so Styx Mill gear and they are also great!

I have just bought a jumbuck vest like this one. Maybe the newer version and it has pockets you can slide your hand into aswel as those square pockets at the front. On the right hand pocket I can put my hand all the way through it and out the other end. We’re as the left hand pocket is enclosed. Do you know why this is? Thank you

[@collectedovertime3291]

Thanks for commenting and watching. Seems a little weird, the one I have which is older stock (they have updated) has the big pockets with studs and hand warmer pockets behind the big pockets. They are enclosed like a regular pocket. Unless it’s a manufacturer fault it may be purpose built to store something bigger… might be worth emailing Drizabone, they are pretty good with feedback etc.

@@collectedovertime3291 beauty mate. Thanks for your speedy response. I will give them a buzz or shoot them an email tomorrow and see what the go is. Thanks again!

Really nice im thinking of getting one, do you know where it's made? I couldn't see on the website?

[@collectedovertime3291]

Ah mate!! I was just having a conversation today (while I was wearing my vest on site) about not being able to grab one the same as this anymore. You can buy the jumbuck / variation vest from drizabone.com.au/driza-bone-125-years/?gad_source=1 If you don’t like that you could try Styx Mill (NZ Made) great products.

[@LM-rl8iw]

Ahh awsome thanks mate! Nice to see there still making some products in aus! The Styx mill doesn't look bad either. Thanks for the info 👍

Thinking of getting this one what temperature would you use this in?

[@collectedovertime3291]

Hi! I wear this in a variety of ways, sometimes with a tshirt on warmer days and on colder I use as an outer layer on top of a jumper or fleece jacket. It’s almost year round with the exception being summer, although on a cool summer night it’s handy to have. If you like it, get it, you’ll use it!

v8s01 your question is like asking the length of string!!!
