Frequently Asked Questions

  • Both are classic Stormy Kromer wool vests, but they offer different looks and features. The Button Vest has a traditional design with a button front, V-neck, and slightly heavier 26-ounce, 100% wool that matches our Mackinaw Coat. The Ironwood Vest has a more modern look with a full-length zipper, stand-up collar, and slightly lighter wool for everyday versatility.

  • The Button Vest fits true to size and is designed to layer comfortably over a flannel shirt or sweater. We recommend ordering based on the chest measurement in our sizing chart. If you are 6' or taller, you might consider our tall sizes.

  • A wool vest keeps your core warm while giving your arms full freedom of movement. It's a great choice for working outdoors, running errands, or layering when a full coat feels like too much. Many people find a vest to be one of the most versatile pieces in their cold-weather wardrobe.

  • The Button Vest is designed to keep your core warm without restricting movement. Its heavy 26-ounce wool makes it a great outer layer in cool weather or an excellent mid-layer under a coat in colder conditions. The V-neck design also layers comfortably over hoodies, flannels, and sweaters without adding bulk around your neck.

  • Yes, especially in snow. Wool can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture while still providing warmth, making the Button Vest an excellent choice for cold, damp conditions. It isn't waterproof, however, so while it will handle light precipitation well, it's not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

  • Dry cleaning is the best way to care for your Button Vest. Spot cleaning can work for small stains as needed. If the coat becomes wet, allow it to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Never machine dry your wool coat.

    I purchased this button vest from another seller and love it. In the past I have had two other vests from the company in Washington and this vest fits better and I like the extra length in back. It is good quality and made very well! I will buy another one for sure.

    I love this vest - it is warm, comfortable, practical, and i get a LOT of compliments on the simplicity of styling. fortunately, I purchased it before SK decided they needed more advertising, and put an additional label on the OUTSIDE of the garment. For this reason, I won't be buying another. I buy clothes for me, not the seller, and not for status. When SK offers the vest without the label, i'll buy more. (note, i have no problem with the subtle stitching on the back (same color thread as garment) with the SK signature). Just get rid of the ugly stamp on the left front pocket.

    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.

    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.
