Product Insights & Style Tips
The Rick Owens Black Tower Long Lab Cargo Vest leans into the brand's austere, sculptural mood. Virgin wool whipcord in black, with RWS-certified wool, keeps a crisp, heavyweight handle that sits cleanly on the frame. Wrap construction and a V-neck shape the line, while a full buffed lambskin lining glints softly on the inside.
Patch pockets at the chest and flap pockets at the waist bring real-world utility to the look, while the self-tie closure at the back waist lets you nudge the silhouette from relaxed to cinched without changing the underlayers. A central vent at the back adds ease in movement, and an interior zip and welt pocket keep keys or a card safe. Layer over a turtleneck or knit, or slip it atop a long-sleeve shirt as seasons shift.
Rick Owens elevates cargo through a refined, architectural lens, and this vest is a study in restraint: clean black, polished hardware, and a long line that reads as street-ready armor. Style note: pair with straight-leg trousers and a chunky boot, or lean into minimal layering with a slim tee underneath for a modern, editorial edge. Price: 4885.
