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.

    The material and workmanship are excellent, but the upper pockets aren't deep enough to securely hold my cell phone or glasses. Also, why do the sizes start at Medium? If the Button Vest came in Small, I would buy another one for my wife, as Stormy Kromer's women's vests seem to be designed for looks not warmth. ~~We will pass along your suggestions to our design team. The majority of our men's apparel are in size Large or XL, it's very rare that anyone asks for small. That is an opportunity our team will discuss for future products. Thanks for your suggestions!

    I own the LL Bean vest which is very nice but its only 11 ounce 85/15 wool and its a zip front. I was looking at the Filson which is 100 % wool and 24 ounce with button front. Then I saw the Stormy Kromer which id 26 once 100% wool with button front. I bought the Stormy Kromer and I am completely saticfied with my purchase. The wool is very well refined and the styling is top notch. I absolutely love this vest. Its just exactly what I wanted.

    I've had this vest several years now, and wear it winter spring and fall. This coupled with a good flannel keeps me from getting to warm indoors or too cold outdoors without having to take a jacket on and off all the time. When winter really hits I'm nice and toasty with this under my coat. I absolutely love all of the Kromer products I've purchased!

    Too many old school outfitters have gone foo-foo. Thanks SK for keeping up standards.

    The vest is quality made and the fit is great. The deep front pockets will come in handy. I am 6'2" tall and the length of the vest is perfect. Not too long but long enough to keep cold from creeping in while you are working. Looking forward to many years of work with this one. Keep up the good work S.K.

    Well made vest, probably one of the best on the market. Unfortunately sizing was an issue and the smallest size which was a medium which was to large on me. I’m 6’1 and 175 lbs. still a great American

    This is just perfect and exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately I have gained some weight and need a 3XL instead so I need to reorder. Just need a larger size as all else is perfect!! Thanks
