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.

    I've yet to receive my vest yet, although it was shipped a couple of weeks ago. Not panicking yet ,but if it doesn't show up by the end of the week I'm going to start to get worried that UPS has lost my parcel. ---Hi Rodney, If you still have not received your vest, please reach out to us so we can look further into this for you.

    Great fit and features. 5’11” 180 lbs medium. Color black picks up all fluff in vicinity so i keep a fluff roller nearby.

    It's a warm wool vest. Nice length and nice fit. I am 6'4", 38" waist, 200#. Size XL fits perfectly. An XL Long would have been too long and an XXL would have been to loose all around. Only thing I do not like is the tacky looking Stormy Kromer label sewn into the left front. Please go to some other branding or just do not put this on your clothing line. Looks tacky.

    The vest isn’t too bad. It had some crooked stitching and it could use a nice liner. It seems sort cheap without a liner.

    The vest was great quality and we loved it. Unfortunately, the size 3X seemed to run small and did not fit. It did fit perfectly for our son who is a 2X.

    This is a wonderful vest. It looks very sharp, according to my wife, who was impressed with the look and cut. At 5'11 and ~170 lbs with a long torso, the Large is a good fit for me ... possibly a touch big, but a Medium would be too small. That may help. I had trouble wading through previous reviews and the comments on size/fit. As for pockets ... I thought that the right breast pocket would hold a phone, but NO. It's really for glasses. There are two left breast pockets: one for a phone and the other for a pen/pencil. The patch pockets and just as expected and are very comfortable. I'm taking one star off, only because I believe in having at least one more or less secure inner pocket. YMMV. It's a great vest with few if any equals.

    Great product. The weight and finish of the wool is perfect. I love this vest and will be buying the other colors in the future.
