The Ladies & Gents Vintage Plaid Vest

The Ladies & Gents Vintage Plaid Vest is a beautiful example of how menswear tailoring can feel fresh, feminine, and fun when styled with intention. Designed with a deep jewel-tone purple wool front and a contrasting tonal purple windowpane plaid, this vest has a rich, elevated look that immediately stands out. The back features a smooth nylon panel with an adjustable tab, allowing you to customize the fit for a more tailored or relaxed feel.

We love this piece styled fully buttoned and worn as a top, paired with wide-leg cuffed denim for a balanced mix of structure and ease. It also layers effortlessly under blazers, trenches, or coats, making it a versatile styling piece that works across seasons. The menswear roots give it polish, while the color and styling keep it playful and distinctly High Desert Darling.

This is the kind of vest that feels intentional and collected—perfect for adding a tailored edge to denim or softening structured looks with western-inspired styling.

Marked size extra small and appears to be men’s sizing. It fits most similarly to a women’s size medium to large which is how this is listed despite the size tag. The pit-to-pit measures 21 inches across. The model is typically a size XS/S and 5’7”.

Overall in good condition. It appears the previous owner repaired a side seam; this is subtle and not very noticeable when worn.
