The waxed cotton down vest is praised for its quality, style, and functionality, including features like the down fill, pockets, and two-way zipper. While some customers found the vest to be a bit large or stiff, most described it as warm, cozy, and suitable for a variety of activities. The color options, particularly the dark khaki/coffee bean shade, are also well-received.
If it came is size extra small petite, it would be perfect. The warms and quality are excellent. The zipper is high quality and is two way, and the additional snap closures are an

This vest is really warm and I like the colors. It is rather heavy but I understand why the waxed cotton weighs more than the usual nylon fabric and that is fine with me.

This vest has become an easy casual staple. It's cute and functional. I would say size up if you want more space for a chunky sweatshirt underneath.

Runs a little big as it sits low on the hips. But I like it that way. Super warm. I have had several people compliment the vest.

This seems like a very well-made product. It's substantial and looks good on. Very nice stylying. I really wanted a black vest, and called LL Bean to ask about the color of this

I didn’t realize this item cannot be washed in my laundry. “Brush off” dirt, it says. What about liquid spills, stains? I bought this item also because LL Bean has zippers that act

Well made, sturdy vest. It fits as expected. I am a medium but I need to be able to wear over layers and a sweatshirt so I purchased a large. One minus is the zipper locks too well
