Frequently Asked Questions

  • Both are classic Stormy Kromer wool vests, but they offer different looks and features. The Button Vest has a traditional design with a button front, V-neck, and slightly heavier 26-ounce, 100% wool that matches our Mackinaw Coat. The Ironwood Vest has a more modern look with a full-length zipper, stand-up collar, and slightly lighter wool for everyday versatility.

  • The Button Vest fits true to size and is designed to layer comfortably over a flannel shirt or sweater. We recommend ordering based on the chest measurement in our sizing chart. If you are 6' or taller, you might consider our tall sizes.

  • A wool vest keeps your core warm while giving your arms full freedom of movement. It's a great choice for working outdoors, running errands, or layering when a full coat feels like too much. Many people find a vest to be one of the most versatile pieces in their cold-weather wardrobe.

  • The Button Vest is designed to keep your core warm without restricting movement. Its heavy 26-ounce wool makes it a great outer layer in cool weather or an excellent mid-layer under a coat in colder conditions. The V-neck design also layers comfortably over hoodies, flannels, and sweaters without adding bulk around your neck.

  • Yes, especially in snow. Wool can absorb up to 35% of its weight in moisture while still providing warmth, making the Button Vest an excellent choice for cold, damp conditions. It isn't waterproof, however, so while it will handle light precipitation well, it's not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

  • Dry cleaning is the best way to care for your Button Vest. Spot cleaning can work for small stains as needed. If the coat becomes wet, allow it to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Never machine dry your wool coat.

    Love this vest. Perfect for MN winters. I really notice the difference in comfort when I don’t put it on. Can’t believe how many compliments I get on it. For being such a ‘plain’ vest, people have been very kind in their comments. Highly recommend this vest.

    Been wearing a wool sweater (Mr. Rogers style) at work since I have a window office it gets cool (MN) and wanted something more versatile. Saw this vest at the Duluth Pack store and it fit and looks fantastic. Very comfortable, being not too warm or too cool. Get compliments from women all the time after a only wearing for a couple weeks. My new uniform at home and work.

    I have been wanting a vest like this for a long time, and I am glad that I finally bought one. It looks good in any setting and with any clothes. I just wish that I had bought 1 size smaller.

    After purchasing a Kromer for my wife one year earlier, I decided I "need" one also. I was a bit concerned about the size after reading other reviews... decided to order what I believed is my true size.... Ordered the 2XL. Fits Perfectly. I'm 6', 240lbs. Love it! High Quality as all Kromer products.

    Another SK favorite! I wear this vest all winter, both as as a casual vest and for layering. I've worn it around town, to church and even deer hunting. I love it!! I plan on buying another one in Ottowa to strictly wear while Im in the woods!!

    I have been the owner of a Stormy Kromer button vest in medium for approximately three weeks now and could not be happier with it. I spent a lot of time looking for a quality all wool vest and the button vest is spot on. I like that it is unlined, made of suitably thick material and does not constrict movement. I live in Australia and work a state government office job and have found the vest to be more than smart enough to wear in this context. When I am not at work I spend the majority of my time outdoors and have found the vest to be a fine companion. Thank you to all the employees at Stormy Kromer for a fine product.

    Since receiving my first SK Button Vest (Olive color) in early October 2016, I have since ordered the Black color and Black/Red Plaid color. Everything I said in my first review still applies. These are the best wool vests I have ever owned. For me, the XL vest size is perfect for my body type (6',4" tall, 40" waist & 215 lbs). The XXL would have been way too large and the XL Tall would have been way too long. I am extremely satisfied with this, Made in the USA, brand. Hopefully, SK will also come up with a brown color for this style of vest. FatBackandCollards in Colorado@8500'.

    I just received my new SK Button Vest. I ordered the Olive color. This is a quality made vest in every sense of the word. For size comparison, I am six feet, four inches tall, 215 pounds and 40 inch waist. I ordered Size XL and it fits perfectly in length and body. Size XXL would have been too big. Prior to purchase, I emailed SK Customer Service and they provided the information I needed to get my size correct. In my opinion, it is a generous cut, rather than a modern cut. The XL has a back length of 28 inches. The front of the vest measures 24 inches across just below the arm pit area. It is a perfect fit for me. The 26 ounce wool fabric is smooth and soft. The stitching was outstanding and the buttons were sewn on very securely. This vest will definitely get some use during the upcoming 2016/2017 Winter season here in Colorado. I have wool vests from all the well known manufacturers, however, this vest is superior to all others in workmanship, fabric weight, value and design. I will order one or two more colors since I like this one so much. Signed: FatBack&Collards - Colorado@8500
