The Button Vest

Great product. I’ve had one for years. Just needed to size up, if you know what I mean.

Fit and warmth is great. Able to wear the vest in formal settings and cut/style very nice

I've had the button vest for a couple of weeks now. It’s been worn every day and I am extremely impressed with it. The vest is made of substantial wool. It’s a bit stiff at first, but breaks in nicely and gets softer by the day. I was a bit worried at first at how tight the button holes were, but they loosen up after a few days. I am 5’ 10” and weigh 188. The large size fits exactly as I hoped. The olive color is as expected and is like the old military drab green. The vest is trim, but definitely not snug. Not sure what is meant in the description by modern fit. In my opinion, it is a classic fit for the size large. The vest fits just below belt line in front and wonderfully it is a bit longer in back to cover the tail bone. L4, L5, & S1 stay warm. The pockets are great; keys on the left, phone on the right, and neither have fallen out of the pockets when I hop in my truck. A nice touch is the pencil pocket which has been home to a mechanical pencil. The free shipping was a nice bonus and delivery worked well. I need to get another one of these.

On the plus side the material (great quality wool), craftsmanship, generous pockets and style all top notch. Our son looked fantastic in it and will wear it often. While I knew it was unlined, and is heavy enough not to need much of one, I think a light fine quality lining would have made this perfect. Aside from that, it's pretty great.

This just arrived and I like it a lot. The wool is dense and smooth-feeling, substantial. Compared to its main rival, the Filson Mackinaw vest, the wool feels softer, like its felted. I ordered a large tall. I'm 6-3, 210 and have a broad chest. I usually wear a 48L or maybe a 46L in a sportcoat. This fits closely, but not tight, with a heavy cotton flannel shirt on underneath. The extra length is great, but it would be too tight over a heavy sweater. It;s the fit I was looking for

This vest did not disappoint. It is comfortable and warm. I'm 6 feet tall 185 pounds and sized up like so many reviewers suggested 2x instead of my usual xl.

Absolutely AWESOME VEST. Best ever! At 6’0” 310 I bought an 3XL long wool button vest and I love it! I can almost wear it year round. I loved it so much I ordered the olive wool vest too. I mistakenly ordered the wrong size at 3XL (not long). So glad I did because it actually fits better than the 3XL long grey one. Going on 4 years having these vest and I can say that they will lest long after I am gone. My grand children will have them

Very sharp, quality made…and made in the USA !

Just got a Button Vest. Terrific customer service from S-K, as usual. If I may say so, I cut a dashing figure in it. Very high quality product, and pretty warm as well. Personally, I could do without carrying the SK banner on the front....it still has the script name, 1903 on the back at the top in contrasting thread. Fits true to size....I am 6'3", 215 lbs, and got the XLT in the Olive color. Is roomy enough to wear over a sweater if desired, where the LT would be too tight for that, less 'gut room'. One complaint: SK uses the US Postal Service for free shipping.....IMO, they are terrible at what they're supposed to do. Recommend paying for an alternate shipping method. Overall, highly recommended vest.
