NGT NATIVE VEST TURQUOISE
With the NGT Native Vest, WEST RIDE presents one of the most popular vests in the entire NGT Knit Collection. Inspired by traditional Navajo patterns from the 1930s and 1940s, this extraordinary knitted vest combines American heritage aesthetics with Japanese craftsmanship of the highest level.
The new color variant Turquoise replaces the previous classic black and impresses with a noble anthracite tone that particularly effectively highlights the striking native pattern. Whether as an additional layer on cool summer evenings or as a mid-layer under a denim or leather jacket – the NGT Native Vest is a versatile companion for any season.
The vest is made from 100% cotton using the elaborate 12 Gauge Double Jacquard Knit. This special double jacquard technique creates an exceptionally dense yet comfortably breathable knitted structure, which visually resembles historical Chimayo or Navajo wool fabrics, but wears significantly lighter and more comfortably.
The entire NGT Knit series is produced exclusively in the Japanese prefecture of Niigata, a region with decades of tradition in high-quality knitwear. From yarn to knitting to careful finishing, every production step is carried out in regional family businesses. The result is exceptionally high-quality knitwear with excellent dimensional stability, high breathability, and comfortable wear.
Practical patch pockets and high-quality original baby snap buttons perfectly complete the authentic heritage look. Thanks to its robust craftsmanship, the vest remains dimensionally stable and almost free of pilling even after many years of intensive wear.
The NGT Native Vest is the ideal choice for lovers of high-quality American workwear, vintage fashion, and Japanese premium knitwear.

Fit
The NGT Native Vest has a classic Regular Fit and is ideal as an additional layer over T-shirts, Henleys, or flannel shirts. Due to its slightly close-fitting cut, it doesn't add bulk while providing ample freedom of movement.
For a regular fit, we recommend your usual size.
Styling Tip
The color Turquoise is extremely versatile and harmonizes perfectly with raw denim, selvedge jeans, chinos, or HBT trousers. Worn over a white T-shirt, a classic chambray shirt, or a Henley, it creates an authentic heritage look. The vest looks particularly stylish under a denim jacket, a leather jacket, or a classic work jacket.
