This selection of gift ideas is inspired by Best Made Co., its maker partners, and the adventurous life. May your holidays be merry and bright, and may the gifts you give demonstrate attentive insight and thoughtfulness toward the people you love.
Peter Buchanan-Smith revealed his first offering since Best Made under his own name on November 27, 2023.
The Mark 1 is self-lined and distinguished by the fabric: two layers of Japanese cotton grosgrain-weave military cord. This fabric has character and wears well over time. It has seven roomy pockets (six on the front, and one zip pocket inside). But unlike many vests, it doesn't shout "pockets" at you. It has YKK brass zippers with an O-ring pull on the front, and Cordura TrueLock™ hammer loops on the hips.
