I am really interested in getting clothing like Monty Don the US. Specifically on episode 17 of this year (series 52) he is wearing a great blue vest with white inside. How can get one???

Sorry for the repeats - just excited I guess.

Some of the clothing in this range is Monty Don-esque

You’d also look the part with some of the clothing from these three

If you reproduce a still from the video clip of the desired jacket the sleuths on this forum might get to work.

I think we have a "khaki pants" issue here.

I am suddenly imagining Monty as Rab C Nesbitt, complete with string "vest".



Am I correct that 'vest' is American for "waistcoat"?

That is exactly what I am looking to find - and I look kinda like Rab!  Kidding.  Yes, waistcoat.  I will try to find a pic.

You could join Monty Don’s Facebook page and ask him.

I think he might have bought his leather jerkin from Bradleys the Tannery.  https://www.bradleysthetannery.co.uk/collections/clothing

This is the waistcoat I am looking for.  Any ideas of the maker?  I will check out Monty's page as well.

This looks similar, and it’s half price (but still $130 if I’ve correctly done the kroner/$ conversion)

I think that might be it Ben.  But sizes are so limited - so nothing for me.  I did find another one that might be it.  https://www.darcyclothing.com/collections/waistcoats/products/gardening-waistcoat-wc114

The Darcy one (my favourite brand, by the way, alongside Gurteen) is lightweight and unlined so that’s not it. However I doubt that Monty sources his wardrobe in Sweden. 

I see the olive coloured one is available in a chunkier size.
