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 garments. Many vests, however, were adapted to the traditional format and were cut in the older, two-piece method (Conn, 1974, p. 144).
