I'm not a huge phelps worshipper but the carhartt vest is super practical.
It really is. I took my brothers, he used to work aaaactual construction and shit. Feels like it brings the correct amount of warmth, doesn’t restrict movement, pockets, durable. I mean fuck the biggest drawback is the popularity of the look.
got one a couple years back for a photoshoot before i even knew who jake phelps was. its really the "anti" version of the phelps vest being that its blaze orange. never really saw anyone wear something like it minus hunters, rednecks, and lumberjacks and that was limited enough for me at the time.
its easily on of my favorite things that ive ever owned. the inside pocket saves phones, wallet, weed, etc. quilted and toasty on the inside. easy to layer and insanely versatile for something fucking orange. quality is no joke. its been through a lot of times and places and its still kicking with me. very sentimental item, had my name patched on it back in highschool.
ive only seen two of the black vests in the wild so far, but it could be big in my area for all i know. im pretty bummed if its a trendy thing now, but cant be surprised if it is
