The Roper's Suede Vest

The Practicality of Suede.

If your roping skills are solid and you can throw a houlihan or a cupo almost in your sleep, well, you probably already own some version of this vest. 

Chances are I tried to buy that one off you last time I crossed Wyoming. (You turned me down; you know a bad deal when you see it.)

You know a lot of things most of us don’t, like how the wind barrels across open prairie and sandpapers your face with grit from two states over. Or that it's bad luck to wear yellow to a rodeo.

You also recognize a bona fide article when you see it, which is how you know this suede vest is the real deal.

A substantial workhorse in soft goat suede, lined in rugged cotton corduroy. 

Made to last a lifetime, maybe two or three. 

These things get handed down.
