1970s · 1960s · American

A light blue denim vest with sleeves removed, featuring numerous commemorative buttons and pins covering the front panels. The vest maintains a standard shirt construction with button-front closure, collar, and chest pockets. Dozens of circular buttons in various sizes display civil rights slogans, organizational logos, and protest imagery in colors ranging from yellow and red to black and white. The buttons are densely arranged across both front panels, creating a visual record of participation in civil rights activities. The denim appears well-worn with natural fading, suggesting regular use during the 1960s civil rights movement.
