For sale is a rare Vintage 1990s Columbia Sportswear Fishing Vest, a true original from the pre-PFG era. This vest features the iconic Flat Blue Fabric Zipper Pulls and genuine Shearling (Sheepskin) Fly Patch that were discontinued in later models.

Unlike modern lightweight nylon vests, this piece is constructed from a durable, heavy-weight poly/cotton canvas that has developed a soft, broken-in feel. It features a classic "Cropped Wading Cut" designed to sit high above the water line, making it perfect for actual fly fishing or as a statement utility/gorpcore layering piece.

Key Features:

Authentic 90s Trim: Original blue fabric zipper pulls on all pockets (hard to find intact).

12+ Pocket System: Massive storage capacity including 3D bellows pockets and a large rear game pocket.

Real Sheepskin Patch: Original wool fly drying patch on the chest (superior to modern foam).

D-Ring Gear Attachment: Black D-ring on the chest for net or tool attachment.

Fleece Collar: Soft grey fleece-lined neck for comfort carrying heavy loads.
