LL BEAN
LIFE PRESERVER VEST

A very rare item with an LL Bean tag.
This is a life vest from that time.

It is traded at a high price even in its home country, America.
Besides collectors
It is also sold at select shops with a keen eye for trends.

The material inside is kapok.

On the inside label
THE AMERICAN PAD & TEXITILE CO.
There are instructions.

It says it contains 24oz JAPARA KAPOK (plant fiber).
It was stated that it has five times the buoyancy of cork.

For your reference
I'm writing this for those who want to wear it.
I actually got it and tried it on.
The bulge at the front and back when wearing it isn't that noticeable.
It's not as thick as a typical life jacket.
I got the impression that it could even be considered fashionable.

As an example,
Or how about using it as a base for wearing?
