I wanted a vest I could wear indoors and as layering option. Overall, I like vests for their added pockets, bit of warmth, and added style (changes up a boring polo). I’ve been wearing vests for years, and I’m a fan of all kinds - heavier duty ones for outside or ones with a water resistant soft shell for fall walks outside. Those are great, but I wanted a vest with the intent of wearing it indoors for awhile. I work in healthcare and I move a lot, need pockets for items, pens, keys, etc. but I also need to look professional - so this caught my eye. That and a local New England company.I have another common brand’s fleece vest, and that’s a true “fleece” material vest. Soft and fluffyish, Warm, but also a Boring style. I actually do prefer this company’s take on fleece a lot- total positive. It’s more like a very comfortable sweater on the outside and cotton-fleece but not fluffy, on the inside. The exterior is not meant for rain resistance, and I knew that going in. Perfectly fine for going outside, but the material is just like a sturdy sweater - it’s not stopping wind or rain in a hike like a soft shell can attempt to do (again, I knew that and I can appreciate this is meant for inside more). It’s a nice sweater quality material. It’s very soft to the touch but doesn’t feel like it will pill or tarnish or scuff easily. It’s actually nice to touch but feels sturdy enough to toss on and go rake some leaves.There are few downsides and it’s a little bit-picky besides the upper chest pocket. I’d prefer the chest pocket on the left, and a little lower. It’s currently closer to the collar and not useless, but not as useful as some other vest chest pockets that’s have slightly better placement and a little deeper to help with item weight. I’d prefer the chest pocket slightly larger too, but I don’t often use them because they pull vests to the side at the collar (if you use it for a heavy-ish phone, for example). Tho chest pocket works well for my small wallet (travel size/minimal) or iPhone SE (small, older iPhone). This doesn’t fit my iPhone 11 without feeling like I’m going to stretch the material, but I don’t really use any vest or jacket pocket for my phones because I don’t like how they can tug at the collar.There is no draw string but I don’t find it needs it now, but they can help with longevity if the bottom loses its look. I’m six feet tall and about 170 lbs and I got the medium. Perfect fit to wear over a polo or a long-sleeve dress shirt. Large probably would have far too much belly room and be too long. I wear this at work with most shirts tucked in. I wear some polos untucked and with this vest, those barely peek out from the bottom of the vest.Overall, I’d definitely order again. I wish there was another color like green or blue, but these colors are nice (I got the dark gray and it’s nice! Better in person than the limited photos show off). I’m from New Hampshire, so it’s nice to see a semi-local company!
