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 own 5 of these vests and wear them all winter in northern Minnesota. I’m 6’ 1” , 250 lbs and the 2XL fits perfectly. Same fabric weight and feel as Filson but made in USA. Don’t like the product label on outside of garment but otherwise no problems. Great customers service and the vest arrived quickly in the mail. Top notch company and product.

    I love these vests ! After ordering the first one in Olive and wearing it out on a chilly winter night, I like it so much that I decided to order a second vest in Charcoal to increase my options for coordinating and wearing this versatile and well-made layer of added warmth and comfort over as many of the shirts in my closet as possible. You gotta own at least one of these !

    Buttonholes a little tight , they should loosen up.

    I own several wool vests from Stormy Kromer and a major competitor and wear them proudly at work and in the field. I returned my most recent purchase for three reasons: 1) The color on the website appeared much lighter than the actual color; 2) the new stitching contrasts too much with the wool in the vest (it looked cheap); and I do not like the leather logo patch on most of the SK line these days I preferred the more subtle embroidery on the back as the primary notice of the manufacturer). I’m just a simple guy who want a high quality, yet simple wool vest to wear along with my others. ~~ Thank you for your honest review. We will make sure our design team gets your suggestions. SK ~~

    Well made, fit is true. The overall product is superior to others that I have purchased from other brands.

    Very warm, looks great, well worth the money as it will last forever. I like to wear it over a fleece sweatshirt and normally don’t need a jacket over it unless it is really cold out.
