This vintage hunting vest was made in the 1950s by the Marshall Clothing Manufacturing Company of Butler, Indiana, under their “Gamemaster” label. The Marshall Clothing company was a well regarded manufacturer of sportswear- letterman jackets, basketball uniforms, gym shorts and the like. This vest has a five button front, with a high neck closure, reminiscent of early Brown’s Beach vests, also marketed towards the hunting market. This one is made of brown canvas, with closed bottomed loops for 32 shotgun shells. These loops are all covered with flaps to protect the cartridges from the elements. This vest also has a flapped bellows pleated breast pocket. Marshall made this Gamemaster vest design back into the 1930s without any changes to the design. It is only distinguishable from earlier manufactured versions by the (c) symbol in the lower right corner of the label. This vest was produced in two weights, this is the more rugged of the two.
