I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this item. I'm not a big vest person, but this one looked soooo cool! So I bought it. I just got it today and I am THRILLED. It fits perfectly! I'm a US size small, and this of course is a medium. It fist like a glove. It doesn't clasp, as there's no button on the front. The workmanship is immaculate and the material is slightly heavy and feels luxurious. The pleats are nice... Basically, I could find no flaws, and I'm a pretty tough critic. :) If you're thinking about ordering this, you def. should.
