DESCRIPTION: The Five-Pocket Vest is very much a crossover piece. It will handle serious physical work, but it also looks natural with a dress shirt and tie. It's cool enough for typical indoor temps. Pop the collar and button it up to the neck and it's easily warm enough for freezing temps. FIT GUIDE: Tailored to fit the body while still giving enough room for a thick flannel or wool shirt underneath. Model in most of the photos is Cody, at 5'11" (180.3 cm), 180lbs (81.7 kg), wearing size medium. The model with the shades, leaning against a white wall, is Cody's friend Lane Dorsey, owner of menswear company Master Supply. Thanks, Lane! SIZE CHART: PLEASE check the size charts and let's hope we can get it right the first time ... exchanges/returns are free but a chore for you and a chore-plus-cost for us. FABRIC: 100% WeatherWool Certified Fine Wool in a Denim Weave WeatherWool is always MADE IN USA 100% FEATURES: Generous drop pocket at the chest Large handwarmer pockets on each side Inner zippered pockets on each side Signature slot button closure secured with nylon ribbon at center front Lined with our Lightweight 100% wool Heritage fabric Milspec water-resistant thread throughout The pockets are scaled with size. All five size XL pockets will accommodate a very large cell phone or wallet VERSATILITY: The Five-Pocket Vest wears perfectly over our Whipcord Shirt or a flannel shirt. It even layers nicely over our Denim CPO for a heavy layering system. With either of these pieces, even with no base layer at all, temps around freezing are easy. ANECDOTES: Our Heritage Fabric, used for the inner lining, adds substantial wind resistance, but at the same time will feel cool to the touch in warm weather because Heritage is 100% worsted (smooth, slick) yarn while the Denim outer is 100% woolen (fuzzy) yarn. CARE AND CLEANING: Wool’s anti-static properties help make it self-cleaning and odor-resistant, so it does not need frequent washing. It may not even need rare washing. If your wool does not seem dirty, don't feel obligated to clean it ... even if you have not cleaned it for years. More details about spot cleaning and submersion washing can be found on our care and cleaning page. SHIPPING: In-stock orders usually ship within 24 hours.
