This is an update from previous review. Vest finally arrived, had some sizing issues as I originally ordered a medium but needed a large. Sooo after all that the vest finally arrived and it's everything I expected, even better. Very stylish, very well made and definitely warm. I've only warn it out a few times and recieved completely comments and questions were I got it. Will be buying the matching mackinaw hat to go with the vest next fall. I'm 5'9 188lbs ordered a large, color gray, fit's perfectly.

Best ever.lives up to their reputation. Light,but very warm

I ordered the green button vest last year and it fit great! Still a year later and it fits great. I ordered the grey vest this year and it seems to run smaller. I will probably return.

Big man? I’m 6’0” 295lbs, w/ 46” Waist & 54” chest, I wear the heck out of these vests. I’ve got the charcoal 3X long and it even fit me when I was 320lbs. I still wear it. It’s just a little longer now because my belly is smaller. I’ve also got the olive green 3XR this is my “go to.” It fits me perfectly. These are made so very well! Stylishly enough to where for special evens, church, but simple enough to wear as everyday wear with just a T-shirt! If you are a big man that is struggling to find the garment that keeps to at the right temperature when those big coats or jackets make you sweat because they cover your arms…… this is perfect. It covers my torso and keeps it warm when I am working with my arms! Perfect for layering too!

Same great heavy weight wool as the jacket. I adds a lot of warmth but you do need something for the arms. I use Stormy's wool shirt (under the Mackinaw jacket of course. As with the jacket, go a size larger than you usually would.

I have three of these awesome vests. One in red/black plaid, olive and the most recent in charcoal. The fit is perfect, material quality impeccable and the virgin wool warm and comfortable. I’ve worn them several times this winter in the Pacific Northwest and overall, I’m very pleased with how they performed outside. My only negative comment would be the charcoal vest. It’s not the same charcoal color listed for the Stormy Kromer Tough Mitts and Original Stormy Kromer cap. If hoping to color match, you don’t come close. I recommend Stormy Kromer indicate this in the description to assist future customers.

Extra warm but single layer lightweight. Super vest!

The vest adds a huge amount of warmth and insulation. In the past I just wore a thin fleece underneath the Mackinaw coat but with the vest I only need a good long sleeved shirt. And it looks great.

I really like this vest. The wool is heavy and feels a bit higher quality than a Filson. I am 6’1’ and 195 pounds and the large fits me well. The stitching and attention to detail are very good. Well worth the money. My only gripe is the new stormy Kromer label on the front of the vest. It really cheapens the look of the vest. I regard these as heritage items in that new label really spoiled it. I have a SK vest from a few years ago that does not have the label it looks so much better. Please please give this feedback to the designer team. They are spoiling the brand.
