Great for the price
Color: Dark Gray, Size: XX-Large
Looked great on my husband for a celebration of life we had to attend. Turns out we over dressed compared to most! He also appreciated the fact it was not as thick as most vest and he didn’t over heat in it. Has adjustment in the back for a better fit. I honestly could have sized him down one and it would have probably looked even better! Definitely felt it was worth the money
