“Rugged vest for young kid”

“I bought this vest for my son as an alternative to the red felt vest often worn by Cub Scouts to display their patches that they can't wear on their uniforms. I bought it a little large hoping that it will get him through at least 3 years of scouting. Although it seems true to size, it might be a little small for all the patches he might be getting along the way if we stay as active in our pack as we have been. Although durable, with nicely made and easily closed (good for kids!) silver-colored metal snaps, the finish on this vest is not exactly well done. That being said, it's perfect for a boy who doesn't give a hoot about finish, but wants to run around the place and not have to worry whether he's going to wear this one out or not--trust me, he's not going to. I gave it 4 stars only because the interior edges are surged and not sewn down as well.”
