Rooted in the spirit of traditional workwear, the Reversible Cody Vest is more than just a layer – it's a testament to a time when garments were made to endure. This piece reflects the HARD.WEAR philosophy, where quality craftsmanship meets rugged durability, drawing inspiration from the hard-wearing clothing of ranch hands, cowboys, and laborers of the American West. Built for those who live and work with their hands, the Reversible Cody Vest embraces the notion that your gear should stand the test of time, just like the workers who shaped the landscapes they lived in.
The HARD.WEAR collection pays homage to the heritage of workwear, born out of necessity and designed for durability. From the late 19th century, ranchers, miners, and builders needed clothing that could withstand the rigors of their daily labor. Jackets and vests, like the Reversible Cody Vest, were often constructed from heavyweight materials like canvas and wool to offer warmth and protection while allowing for freedom of movement. These garments were not just tools of the trade – they became symbols of resilience, integrity, and a deep connection to the land. Today, we channel these same values into every stitch of our HARD.WEAR range, ensuring these pieces aren't just for work – they’re for life.
The Reversible Cody Vest takes this ethos and refines it with a modern twist. Using traditional methods, we've incorporated a reversible design that gives you both function and flexibility. Whether you’re working outdoors or heading into town, this vest is your go-to companion, made to withstand the elements, just like the hard-wearing garments of the past. It’s built for generations, created with the same attention to detail and respect for craftsmanship that has defined timeless workwear for over a century.
