The vest arrived and the bottom part fit but the bust was huge and distorted with a big gap at the shoulders and armpits. Because it is cut for a man who is fairly even from shoulders to bust. . I noticed that there was no bust dart as almost all ladies’ vests and jackets have to fit the female form. It would take more $10 to send it back….25% of the purchase price. I am trying to get a bust dart put it in. Unhappy. Women cannot wear a man’s vest without a bust dart because while the bust sticks out the material, it need to be fitted for the smaller shoulders and underarms. The mark of someone who is cutting a design for men, not women.

I ordered this vest for our company's annual client conference. It was perfect for the theme.

I've wanted a classy black and white striped vest for ages, so when I saw this one during the vest sale I had to snag it. At first I ordered a small, because I was having a sick, brainless moment (I'm normally a medium). Having then read some reviews on other vests that suggested this one might run small, I waited for my package to find out whether I would be calling and asking for one size up or two. I did not have to wait long at all. The small not only didn't fit, it didn't come close, so one very pleasant call to customer service later I packaged up my goof-up and shipped it back in favor of a large. The new vest is beautiful. It fits wonderfully, with the exception of a small amount of gaping at the underarm, courtesy of my nice, boyish figure. This will take about five seconds with a sewing machine to fix. Seriously, tiny alteration. Everything else, the length, the waist, you name it, is utterly perfect. I really recommend this vest. Truly. It's classic, timeless, and well constructed from sturdy fabric. If you take care of it, it will take care of you, your daughter, and your grand daughter, just the way well made clothing should.
