Wore my XL 8-10 times; nicely loose, but bunchy long on me. One cold water-only wash cycle (no dryer) brought the size in just right. No harm if resizing is needed.

Love this vest

It is light weight and scratchy wool in a rather pleasant way. It looks great ovwer a tshirt or a button down. I bought mine before a 3 week trip to Switzerland in late September to early October. It was a great layer for mild mountain hikes, looked good for going to dinner, even served as a pillow in a hostel in Gimmelwald. Two days after returning, I gave a presentation to 400 folks at an avalanche conference and wore it there. It looked like new. I get compliments for my vest all the time, including from my siblings at Thanksgiving. They develop a quizical look when I tell them with a grin its a cycling vest. This is one of the dozen pieces of clothing that if I lost it somehow, I would immediately re-buy it at full retail. One criticism, I wish the buttoned neck opening was another two inches longer.

Great winter vest

I bought one of these the summer of 2011 when the weather was hot but with winter in mind. The vest was my favorite outer garb last winter, goes with lots of different shirts just fine, feels great on cold winter days.

Waited Several Years for it to Come Back

I missed it last time 'round when it was in the great e-free Holiday Flyer of '05-06 as the "Derby Tweed Vest." I'd been waiting ever since, and so I was overjoyed when it finally came back. I simply love it. It's just right over a t-shirt on a cool morning. And most folks do, in fact, look spiffy in it!
