Hello fellow bowman--- I am working desperatly on everything -- I am a one man show,
well, let me say that without Gary you would not see very much--- Thank God for my Wife.

The vest you see was a colaberation of my in put and that of a high fashion designer in New York.
It has thje points in the back and front, Plus inset poskets. Gary has the first samples for photography. This project started in the fall of 2010 --- Changes are bing made, it will be a bit longer in the front--- which will make the pockets deeper -- and tabs in the back side so you can adjust the vest.
every change cost money. Please remember that patterns have to be created --- I even do 3 xl
to accomidate the healthier customers.

Vest info continued --- use 20 ounce wool, or go to 24-26 ounce wool. This involves buying thouands of yards of heavier wool --
The answer might be to do a green vest with brown pockets in heavier wool. this way it would go with all my different plaid jackets.

I need info from all of you.

PLease remember this -- how much can you really wear -- here is how I layer.
Merino wool, light wool shirt, vest when needed.
Then my Rover or Double Rover Jacket
MY jackets are made for layering -- so you can use in spring-- fall and into the winter --
Will I do a heavier jacket in the future -- yes.
I find that most sportsman, onlywear their heavy jackets just a few weeks a year---
IF you live above lets say around 60degrees north -- you might want a heavy jacket
Excluding this winter, the last several winters have been very cold--
MY web will give you all the info---
With regard to pricing,all companies that sew want big numbers--- all I can say is I do quality not quantity.
PLease be patience --- lots more to come---
My best -- Rob Tiberio Classic Sportsman/Bowman

What is your estimated price on the vest?

doctari · February 20, 2012, 04:46:00 PM

I like Glens little delta green, when can we order?

Geezer · February 20, 2012, 06:27:00 PM

Hi Rob...we spent an hour on the phone a couple weeks ago and you can expect an order this spring. I love the vest! I own two Filson wool vests and wear them all fall and winter. I like the design on yours better and agree a little longer on the front would be a good thing. I can see putting that one on in September and not taking if off until April. I also saw some of your items on pictures posted here from K-Zoo and they probably give a great perspective of one color against another - who ever posted them was a big help.

Can we please get pics of the grouse haven and little delta shirts? The catalog I got only had rover jackets and hats. This last year I'm not sure if it got cold enough for a wool jacket.

Limbender, click on the link Gary posted earlier and it has a couple of pictures on there.

The current cover of TradArchers World features my Dad wearing the "Grousehaven Series" shirt.

Here's a photo of me wearing the prototype of the "Little Delta Series" shirt.

How does the pre-ordering work?

Sizing is also a question....don't want to get one too snug.

Friend · February 21, 2012, 05:56:00 AM

Quite appealing!

Milk River Stickman · February 21, 2012, 06:08:00 AM

Keep at it Rob. Turkey is just around the corner! I would like to introduce a big 'ol Tom to some of your wool!

3Under · February 21, 2012, 07:18:00 AM

I got the Jacket at Denton Hill in'09. I believe it's the same color as the vest above. Really like it!

German Dog · February 21, 2012, 10:30:00 AM

Classicbowman,

Seen you stuff at Kalamazoo. Very impressed with the quality and the colors. I was all set to buy a green plaid shirt and seriusly consider a jacket. Only thing was the weights of the wool were lighter than i'm use too. I've got all Filson for vest, jacket, and pants and am use to the heavier wool.
so my recommendation is a heavier wool.
BTW, love looks of that vest.

Vesty · February 21, 2012, 11:53:00 AM

I, too, would recommend your vest in the heavier weight wool. I live in my Filson wool vest. 28oz. wool.

Jason Hansen · February 21, 2012, 12:15:00 PM

I think we all need to remember that Rob is a one man operation and the demand for his products has been overwhelming to say the least. Gary has been assisting him greatly, and I think with his expertise in photography and Rob's expertise in wool garments the outcome will be something all of us will appreciate. I too am anxious to see ALL of his products...but all good things come to those who wait.
