After reading other reviews I decided to give this a try. Fits true to size, I'd recommend ordering your normal size. The stitching is clean and even all the way around. This exceeded my expectations, highly recommend it.

A soft viscose lining isn't as warm as I hoped for cooler weather. It has three pockets on front, though the depth could be better. Happy with this overall, just wish a couple of small things were better.

The construction feels a bit rushed in a few spots. It's not quite as flattering on me as I hoped it would be.

There's three pockets on front on this one, which comes in handy every day. Had some trouble with a zipper closure snagging early on. A few too many issues for me to recommend this vest.

A zipper closure feels sturdy and hasn't jammed once. No complaints at all, this is exactly what I wanted.

The overall design looks even better than the online photos. Having three pockets on front makes this a lot more functional than I expected. Overall a solid vest, just a couple of minor nitpicks keep it from a perfect score.

This vest pairs well with a lot of what's already in my closet. Overall I'm really happy with this vest, would buy again. The leather held up fine through a few weeks of regular wear.

Customer service was responsive when I had a sizing question before ordering. Couldn't be happier with this purchase, five stars from me.

I picked this up for my boyfriend and they've been wearing it a lot. The leather is okay, a bit stiff out of the box but broke in. Overall a solid vest, just a couple of minor nitpicks keep it from a perfect score.

The leather is okay, a bit stiff out of the box but broke in. Good vest for the price, not perfect but close.

Seams are tight and I don't see any loose threads. The black is a bit different in person than in the pictures, but still nice. Average experience overall, might work better for someone else.

A lapel style collar adds a nice detail and sits well. It's fine. Not amazing, not bad, just middle of the road.

Ordered this as a gift, but ended up wanting one for myself too. The fit is decent, slightly loose in the shoulders on my XS. I like that it has three pockets on front, very practical for everyday use. Really good purchase, would still recommend despite a small gripe or two.
