    Description

    This is a vintage shearling vest decorated with embroidered flowers in -I'm assuming- silk thread.  It passes the burn test by turning into ash, not melting into goo.  Color of the wool is natural off-white with a couple of black patches.
    I have very occasionally seen similar ones on eBay and they've always been listed as from Mongolia.
    I have owned this vest since the mid 1970s, but it was given to me so I'm thinking it dates a little further back into the 60s.
    Condition is overall very good.  There are a number of loose/pulled threads (see photos for a couple examples) that probably should be dealt with, and it needs a cleaning, but that's about it.  No tears, missing patches of thread, or shearling falling out.
    I took some measurements for sizing: At the back it's approximately 24 inches from collar to bottom.  At the bottom, it's approximately 21 inches across measured at the front.  At the armpits, it's approximately 19 inches across.  At the shoulders, it's approximately 17 inches across.
    Please review the photos and please ask should any questions arise.  I'll do my best to answer.  Thanks for looking and good luck!
