Occidental Leather 2536 Size Regular Builders’ Zip Vest

The Occidental Leather 2536 Builders’ Zip Vest (Regular) is designed for belt-free tool carry with balanced weight distribution and breathable comfort. Built for daily jobsite use, this nylon tool vest combines a sweat-wicking lining with a 12″ dual zipper that keeps the vest close to the body while still allowing easy movement when bending, reaching, or climbing. With (24) integrated pockets and tool holders, technicians can stage fasteners, knives, chisels, pencils, meters, and layout tools without the bulk of a traditional rig. Wear it alone for streamlined carry, pair it with optional clip-on bags for added capacity, or run it alongside your existing tool belt—the 2536 adapts to your setup in minutes. Made in the USA and supplied with the 2003 Pocket Shield™, it’s a practical solution for crews who need secure, organized access to tools across long shifts.
