Like Being in the English countryside By Kitty from Williamsburg, VA on 10/03/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable Best Uses: Daily Use, Travel Describe Yourself: Classic Dresser Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Casual strolling with this vest on a walk or dressing it up with a tie for a cocktail party, the feeling of being next to the Thames is not far away !
By Nicknameless from Wisconsin on 08/25/2009 Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this vest on a whim, unusual for me, and while I'm sure I'll find a good use for it once the weather turns brisk in September, I'm not sure exactly what that use will be. It's too nice to be worn as I'd wear a down vest, for casual knock-around use, but it's not exactly dressy either. The issue really is the zip-up collar. I'll wear the collar down (so will you), but what exactly is the point of a collar on a vest -- a collar that would zip up to my nostrils if I let it? The collar and the lining (which shows) keep the vest from being really dressy, but the collar isn't exactly functional either. I guess it's just a look. The off-center front buckles are another strange aspect. You could describe the whole garment as fun, bold, or odd, depending on your style and fashion sense. The quality is great. The wool tweed is excellent. Oh, and the sizing is a bit large. I'm a 40 and the medium fits just fine; maybe it's a touch roomier than it would need to be.
By Wild Zoo Lady from Salt Lake City, UT on 01/14/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable, Durable, Warm Describe Yourself: Classic Dresser Sizing: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I thought this vest might look nice on a woman (me). But it didn't work. The cut was too long and straight, and the collar, which I wanted to wear up, was way to high. Great quality otherwise, but I sent this item back.
I would recommend this to a MALE friend but not to a woman.

By Kitezh from Melbourne, Australia on 08/13/2008 Cons: Collar a litlte stiff, Poor Fit Describe Yourself: Eclectic Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The vest doesn't sit on my body the way I like. It is loose and the material seems thinner than I expected. It will make me think twice about ordering on the internet. I hope I can fix it by taking it in.
