Absolutely love the vest. During the week, it’s simply used as a wind break/extra layer but it sees it’s fair share of work on the weekends. Currently owned this vest for 6 months and it’s held up great and has exceeded my expectations of quality. The only issue I’ve had and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I’ve had to reattach one button twice and another once. A very minor issue that’s easily fixed. Otherwise, it’s held up well to a pure lack of care. I suppose another issue is that putting a phone in one of the chest pockets is asking to have your phone fall out of the pocket but that’s not what those pockets are for. From handling the heat of a burning brush pile to building a barn and anything else in between, the wax has held up well. I’d buy another but I don’t think I’ll need to any time soon.

You got it right ! The only way to improve it, would be to put a loop on the collar for hanging the vest up, and more divisions in the pencil pocket. I use this vest in a cabinet / furniture shop .

I ordered a vest and a hat and heard good things about the Company and its products. But unfortunately it hasn't arrived. On check out it only had one option to use USPS . They are unreliable and lazy.I order from LlBean ,Filson and others and they always arrive earlier than promised. USPS uses COVID for an excuse. If the customer is paying for shipping which i am i should have a choice. The first package sat for 7 days and didn't move! I hope I receive them. ~~ Sorry to hear your shipment to Canada is taking longer than expected - looks like it has been processed through the Chicago international distribution center of the USPS and is on it's way. We have found that shipping internationally can be hit or miss through any shipping company. You can always give our customer service a call with further questions at 888-455-2253. ~~

With the addition of the lining, the item is too tight under the arms: I wound up returning it. It would fit OK over a tee, but that's not really the use case. I have the unlined model, in the same size, the fit there is fine. ~~ Sorry to hear the vest doesn't fit as expected. I will give your comments to our design team. SK ~~

Very happy with the fit and quality.

This is the perfect weight and the look and feel are spot on!

I love it its great

The only complaint I have is the button holes.. somewhat difficult to button.

After discovering this vest while visiting the factory store in Ironwood this summer, I put it on my ‘wishlist.’ Ordered it online in November during their Black Friday sale. My one and only disappointment with the vest is that the arm hole openings are just a tighter than I would like. I don’t expect the waxed cotton to stretch much with use but I’m hoping it loosens up a bit. I ordered a large, which is plenty big in the body and waist. I look forward to many years of use and expect the vest will only get better with age and use.
