“Just lovely, thank you!”

“This vest was my sixth Barbour purchase through Sierra Trading Post. Yes, the UK to US size converting is a bit tricky. I bought the UK10 which is a US6. I wanted the vest to fit snug, but not tight. I normally purchase the UK12 which is a US8, but I wanted this vest to wear under my other Barbour jackets. Barbour clearly states the sizes on their garment labeling. Remember, the British are sticklers for perfection: there is little room to fudge in the sizes because they stick to the truth. No made-up, make-you-feel-good fake US sizing allowed at Barbour: you are what you are. Now, this vest is wonderful. Soft, silky quilted nylon outside and inside; lovely corduroy detail at sleeve holes and lower edge; deep pockets; and good quality zipper. There is a little stand-up type collar which keeps your neck warm. Layers beautifully under other Barbour jackets. The overall length means no peekaboo skin at the top of your pants/jeans! How wonderful is that?! I've worn this vest twice now. Each time, I've received some serious once-overs from admirers. For the record, I am 5' 7 1/2" and weigh just under 135lbs. This vest adds to the long, lean look. If it helps, I have slim hips, no bum, and no thighs. Barbour fits me well. I love the vest. The price was great, too. Thank you, Sierra Trading Post.”
