1937 ROAMER WEST - Owen Brown

The 1937 Roamer Vest from Pike Brothers is a classic workwear vest inspired by American workwear from the 1930s. At that time, vests were a practical mid-layer that provided extra pockets and protected the shirt from dirt and wear and tear during everyday work.

The model follows the original cut from the period with a straight fit that allows good mobility. It is designed to be worn over a shirt or henley, but also as a layer under a jacket. Three front pockets and an inner pocket provide convenient storage for small items.

This variant comes in Owen Brown , a classic brown tone that gives the vest an authentic heritage feel and makes it easy to combine with denim, chambray and flannel shirts.

The vest is produced in Turkey.

The story behind the Roamer vest

Workwear vests like the Roamer model became popular in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Workers wore vests to protect their shirts from dirt and wear, while providing extra pockets for tools and small parts.

The short length made the vest practical for work because it did not get caught on machinery or work equipment. This functional construction made the workwear vest a staple of the workwear of craftsmen, mechanics, and factory workers throughout much of the first half of the 20th century.
