    My first vest has shrunk and won't fit anymore. It's a Caddis from Creative Sports, circa late 80's

    It’s funny you say that. I’m seeing the same issue!

    Hey Billy -

    You gave me a similar green vest (shorty and minus the advertising) in 1978 before I left for a Summer in Alaska’s Katmai National Park...memories!

    Best, Bob

    Yes Bob,

    I think that was a Columbia "Kalama Shorty" vest that was the "go to" vest for wading in 1978.
