Parkdale Vest Merlot

Amazing!

Excellent quality, perfect craftsmanship. The colour is gorgeous and style and fit terrific. Fit is overall on the slightly large size so if you feel you are in between sizes I would suggest sizing down.

ethical feel good, warm, comfy and roomy vest

All the things you want in a vest! Downsides - I am not sure what to use the loose, short mesh “pockets” for inside. Seem useless as items such as wallet, phone, keys would fall out or I would fear them falling out as moving around. I have an athletic build body type. The stomach area of vest design is overly large and there is not adjusting cords to even attempt to give the vest or myself any shape whatsoever ever. Absolutely ideal design and fit if you are pregnant, carry things strapped to your stomach or have a larger sized belly, on any gender. If you are a person with large breasts (over my B cup), I am not sure how spacious the chest area would be. Length great as can sit and move and vest doesn’t ride up. Fits my shoulder width well so I can accommodate clothing under the vest but I worried going down to a medium would cause the shoulders to be too snug. Very practical, comfortable, well made vest overall with awesome external zipper pockets. Flattering fashion - it is not! An expensive, warm, feel good purchase chore and utility vest for me. I only purchase sustainable/ethical items on line when I can’t source via secondhand/ pre-loved. Canadian made and ethical drew me in. If designed for an athletic “female” body type, I would buy another one. Great quality.

For some extra warmth

I like it, the pockets also feel cozy.
