We love a vest and this might be our favorite. Designed with a pocket for everything a WWII pilot needed to survive, the C-1 Emergency Sustenance Vest made it easier to bail out and survive on the ground if your plane went down. You just had to survive the descent first. A one-size-fits-all design, the C-1 replaced separate survival bags and satchels, placing everything you'd need on your person at all times. Since the 1940s, the vest has gone through many more iterations, but the original remains a favorite among collectors to this day.
