Mongolian wool vest

All things old are new again and it's the Mongolian wool vest's turn in the spotlight. A fashionable piece of the 70's is everywhere now and looks to be the must have piece of the fall. My earliest memory of its comeback is from Gucci's Fall '06 show. I guess this one had a slow build because it's not until now have I seen so many available for purchase.
