Nice vest but it runs short. I bought my husband a large regular and had to return it for a large long. I recommend buying 'long' in any size you order. It's just my opinion for what it's worth. We went to the Raleigh NC farm show and my husband vest fit right in with the rest of the farmers/cowboys.

This is a very good quality product. All the stitching and material seems very stout. It's a warm vest, with plenty of insulation. The one thing that I really don't like is the collar. It doesn't lay down. It sticks up rubbing on the lower back of my head. I'd go with the collarless one instead.
