Cajunscot - I'm not very sure what type of vest it is. I bought it in a horsey/gun shop in Hereford. It doesn't look like it was meant for fishing, so I suppose it's a safari type. It's got biggish side pockets for fists full of cartridges and a longish top pocket for (I presume) a cleaning kit. But it doesn't have the usual reinforcings at the shoulder for the gun butt. I suppose it must be a general purpose vest.
Ah, the magic words that go so well together -- "horsey/gun shop"! ;) I really like that vest -- musn't buy one, musn't buy one...
