WELL I CK'D AGAIN THIS IS ANOTHER ITEM ,I HAD NOT REVIEWED, THE BLACK ONE I ORDERED SOME TIME AGO-WAS A LARGE & ITS FIT WAS EXCELLENT- SO YEA GO GET SOME !!
nice vest, fit as ordered & expected, however, they must have forgotten to wash it post white vinegar dip (you can make colors fast & longer lasting & reduced fading by soaking in white vinegar,especially bright color cotton based fabrics). The smell was very distinct. Other than that, the vest is very nice in cut, tailoring, & function.
The sizing of these vests are ridiculous. I normally wear a 2X but ordered the next size up, 3X. It was way to small, so returned at my cost and ordered a 4X. The 4X was almost identical to the 3X, there may have been a difference of 1 inch. Ended up giving it away. Have always been pleased with products from Wing Stuff but this was a real bummer.
We got two of these vests, and yes we ordered at least one size up. I normally wear a 2x in everything, I got the 3x and it barely snapped across my chest. That's ok because I like wearing two of the four extender chains I have with my leather vest. If you want to snap the snaps and be comfortable, I would order the 4x if you normally wear 2x. I say that without ever having a 4x on. For the gals, there is no ladies cut that I'm aware of. We do like that there are slant outside pockets and also large inside pockets, 8" wide by 9" deep on the 3x on each side. The back bottom edge has a 2" hem across the back, very neat. I am very happy with this purchase.
This review is intended more toward the customer service and not the product.
When the vest were ordered they were out of stock. The manufacturer had them on back order until April. Since we were ordering them for our GWRRA Chapter Couple of the Year vest we needed them as soon as possible. So what should we do. Well up stepped the excelent customer service at Wing Stuff in particular Suzanne & Cameron who offered us an alternative. We looked them over on line and asked them to process the order and they did. We were really impressed with the above and beyond the call of duty with our order and the follow up to get the order to us.
5 Stars for the customer service effort.
2 Stars for the substitute vest with uneven snaps and seams.
