Review: Great stylish vest! - Got this Carhartt vest for my dad, and he loves it! Not bulky, and he says it’s super comfortable to wear all day. Plus, it looks really stylish. The quality feels solid and durable, just what you’d expect from Carhartt. Perfect for staying warm! The zipper worked great and its waterproof. My dad said he gets too hot with normal jackets and mainly wanted it to keep his chest warm and not be too hot at the same time. Would definitely recommend!
Review: good vest - I love this vest. The size is a true fit - no need to size up or down. Its lightweight so good for moderate weather. Its not too hot when the weather is warmer - I tend to wear it with a short sleeve shirt. Its warm enough to do the job during slightly cold weather. The quality of the material is good - buttons and zippers are sturdy and don't catch. I ended up buying another one in green.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone know where this item made?**
A: Made in China.

**Q: Is shadow grey or black**
A: The Shadow color is going to be a Dark Gray.

**Q: I’m 5’6 and weight 145lb what’s best size for me?**
A: Probably your chest size and how much layering you want is more important than your weight.   From Carhartt's size chart (38-40) is a medium and (40-42) a large.  If you are somewhere seriously cold and need a lot of layers, you can order a size up, esp if the vest will be your outer wear.   I have a 48 chest and the 2XL is plenty loose enough for me to layer under it.

**Q: I love this vest but the zipper is it weak point. I've always have had an issue with the bottom of the zipper to separate. Is this Warranty?**
A: We are sorry to hear this. You can reach us by phone at 800-833-3118 Monday-Friday from 8am-9pm EST and Saturdays 9am-5pm EST, by Live Chat Monday-Friday 9am-12am or Saturday & Sunday 9am-9pm EST or anytime by email at just_ask_us@carhartt.com.
