This is a nice quality vest as far as the material goes - not too heavy so good for warmer weather.  However after about 3 times zipping it up - the zipper stops working.  I liked it so much I returned it and got another...3 times zipping it and the zipper stopped zipping again!  It runs small (more like jr sizing) - plus it is cotton so it will shrink a bit.  If you don't plan on zipping it or are good with replacing zippers - go ahead...but not worth it to me to mess around with a zipper.
