Commentary
The vest was an article of European clothing widely adopted by native Americans. Opening in the front, it differed from the pull-over construction of traditional native American ggarments. Many vests, however, were adapted to the traditional format and were cut in the order, two-piece method. -from the Native American Art from the Permanent Collection catalog, 1979
