Packaging was simple but the vest arrived undamaged. It looks decent, about what I expected from the listing photos. Loved the black shade, it's rich and doesn't look washed out. The M fits a little roomy but I actually like the extra room. Overall a solid vest, just a couple of minor nitpicks keep it from a perfect score.

After reading other reviews I decided to give this a try. I like that it has six outer pockets, very practical for everyday use. The black finish looks premium and hasn't faded after washing.

This was my first order from the brand. Loved the black shade, it's rich and doesn't look washed out. Couldn't be happier with this purchase, five stars from me.

The sleeves on my M were noticeably longer than expected. Good vest for the price, not perfect but close.

The construction feels a bit rushed in a few spots. Mixed feelings on this one, some things I like, some I don't.

This was my first order from the brand. The stitching is fine, not the neatest I've seen but functional.

This was my first order from the brand. It has six outer pockets, which is standard but useful. I sized up to M and now it fits perfectly over a sweater. Happy with this overall, just wish a couple of small things were better.

Ordered this as a gift, but ended up wanting one for myself too. This exceeded my expectations, highly recommend it. It's a versatile vest, I've worn it dressed up and dressed down. It arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. The black is a bit different in person than in the pictures, but still nice. Seams are tight and I don't see any loose threads.

Build quality feels solid, no wonky stitching anywhere. No complaints at all, this is exactly what I wanted.

Wasn't sure what to expect, but here's my honest take. Whoever put this vest together did careful work on the seams. Sizing runs a touch large in my opinion, so keep that in mind. Overall a solid vest, just a couple of minor nitpicks keep it from a perfect score.

The style looked a bit different in person than I pictured. Really good purchase, would still recommend despite a small gripe or two.

I get compliments on the black color all the time. It looks decent, about what I expected from the listing photos. Great vest overall, I've already recommended it to a friend.

The black colorway looks even better in person than in the photos.

I picked this up for my dad and they've been wearing it a lot. The black shade is fine, maybe slightly darker than shown online. No complaints at all, this is exactly what I wanted.
