Why This Vest?
A traditional travel vest has its uses, but there are cities and small towns where a traveler may not want to look like a tourist carrying a full complement of gear. Layered clothing made from local fabric blends into everyday life. Each Safe Travel vest complements what you wear, remains timeless and speaks to the culture of its destination.
MADE FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Custom Made
Artisanal textiles and safety wear come together in these pieces. Ponchos and beautiful handmade fabrics found throughout South America can be remade as hooded or round-neck travel wear. Cotton or silk lining, zippered fronts, inseam pockets, inner zippered pockets for documents, wallet and phone, and an open inner pocket help protect valuables. Jackets can also be made from ponchos.
