A radical reimagining of Vietnam War-era signal corps gear, this vest transforms utilitarian radio operator design into luxurious streetwear. The original military blueprint remains intact—complete with underarm radio pockets and an adjustable extension belt—but reinterpreted in NEEDLES’ signature maximalist style with exotic python jacquard fabric and artful patch detailing.

Regular fit.
