The vest is well made. it is a little longer in the waste than I wanted but OK. Glad I read another review on the sizing - I wanted it to be snug so ordered a medium and it is snug just short of being tight. I wear a 44 jacket. I'm happy with it - a little expensive and if I would have paid a $100 for it I would be disappointed. One thing I don't like is that the "arm holes" are small. I had the last vest 20 years and it fit like a glove - I'm sure this one will too.
