The Button Vest

TERRIFIC quality puts others to shame. XL was too small and seemed small for fit-had to exchange so we will see how it wears and holds up. I have great expectations !

Had fillson but have out grown it new SC is just as good but with better pockets and price will be buying another (perfection)

This is a great looking vest and I've had lots of compliments. The first time I wore it to the office the chatter literally stopped when I entered. Everyone was impressed! I had the good fortune to visit Stormy Kromer this past summer. Always wanted a hat and we were so close I made the time for a tour and picked out one I liked. Didn't even know they made other things but the vest impressed me. I didn't buy it right away but ordered it later around the holidays. Made in American and (I don't know if all the vests are like this but) with wool from American Woolen Company. A rare find these days! I've been wearing it every chance I get and it's a perfect when you need just a bit of warmth or as a layer under your regular jacket. I'm a size 42 sport coat and weigh about 170. I ordered a medium because I wanted a close fit. The large looked good too but I wanted this mostly as a layer under another coat. Definitely recommend!

Good as it gets

I like that it has no collar and good fit. The vest is just the right amount of warmth.

Fit is perfect. Looks are amazing. Many comments on it so far.

Both classy and utilitarian. I can dress it up for work or date night and I can shovel the driveway and stay warm while keeping all my EDC items in my pockets!

Pockets can be used with stuff in them. Bought a L and XL. L was tight across the back, I measure 44.5” chest wearing a slimmer under tee shirt. XL is best. However, I don’t like how the bottom bells out. Back panel curves out at the bottom. Let’s in cold air. I wish they came 42”, 44”, 46” 48” etc. I suspect the XL is more of a 48”. I was going to take to get altered but I successfully did it myself with a needle thread. I pulled in the bottom 4” of the vertical seam. Now it’s a perfect fit. Even over a Carhartt hoodie still fits great now. It was definitely too belled out wearing a flannel shirt. My only want would be an adjustment at the waist. I like that it’s long enough for those of us that don’t tuck in a shirt because of the length I don’t button the bottom when I’m sitting in the truck. Chest pockets are very useful. I’m glad they aren’t covered with flap. The back collar area is cut so it’s good with a hoodie and good with a collared shirt. I like that the vest doesn’t have a tall collar that becomes irritating when you don’t need it. I may actually try wearing this all wool military scarf that’s been in the closet. It would allow maximum flexibility. Like other reviews, after a week of on and off wear, the wool gets softer and also more nap. It’s only going to stretch out and not shrink. Great vest. Cut at waist or a cinch would make it a slam dunk. Can’t find anything better and I’ve been looking for decades. It’s expensive yes. But nothing else I’ve had compares.

I had a Filson that I wore out and while looking to replace it, I came across this vest. I like the style and the way they did the pockets (and that it comes in black). I'm 6'4" 165#, and I found the large to be a bit generous in the midsection, so I sized down to a medium. It's a bit snug with a heavy sweater, but okay. I'm in Maine and I'm going to be wearing it pretty much October - April every year until it falls apart!
