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.
