I find it odd for the title of this vest to state "Blue." There is no blue in this vest; it is a medium grey just like in the picture. I consider that a plus. My vest came a bit under-sized. I am a mid range 2XL, and this vest could have used a bit more girth. Normally 2XL fits me on the loose side. However, it is made with quality, and I am pleased with the overall construction. I wear my vest almost daily.

In terms of the material, it is a very comfortable garment to wear. I like the design with the flaps on the two lower pockets and the little pocket above. An inside pocket would have made this vest design perfect.

The liner material, which is also used for the back of the vest, is soft cotton in two layers. It wrinkles pretty easily when sitting during everyday use, and it is not very easy to touch up with a steam iron - about like trying to iron heavy flannel. A permanent-press material might have been a better choice for the liner and the back, especially since this vest is billed as washable. I have not washed it yet, but I don't think I would do any more than a brief hand wash or send it to the dry cleaners.

If I could use half stars, I would rate this vest as three and a half.
