With all these tailored, men's wear trends over the past few years, we've seen loads of vests (aka waistcoats). The problem we have with a designer vest is that, as a separate, it's probably the easiest piece to find at thrift stores in any city. But, as a three piece suit, the matching vest brings a lot of style and personality, as seen above by Craig Robinson New York for Fall '09.
Fall '09 is the debut of ready-to-wear from Robinson, but his bespoke atelier has a fantastic reputation for merging the traditional with a tastefully obvious attitude. He does a rocker style that's authentic, pretty dark and mysterious. But there's enough tradition to still be a feasible silhouette. Rad!
