What types of vests does this collection include?

The collection covers puffer vests with down or synthetic fill, hexagon and diamond quilted lightweight vests, sherpa-lined vests, fleece vests, hooded puffer vests, and shell-fabric insulated vests. Use the filters to narrow by insulation type, fabric, color, or hood option.

What is the difference between a puffer vest and a quilted vest?

A puffer vest has insulating fill (down feathers or synthetic fiber) sealed inside baffled chambers, giving it visible volume and serious warmth. A quilted vest has a thinner profile, with stitched-down layers that add structure and a decorative pattern but minimal fill. Puffers are warmer and bulkier, ideal for cold-weather layering. Quilted vests are more refined, work as a year-round transitional layer, and pair well with shirts and shackets.

How do I style a vest?

Layer a vest over a long sleeve henley, flannel, or thermal in fall and early winter. Over a crewneck sweater for colder weather. Pair with jeans, chinos, or wool trousers depending on the dress code. Quilted vests sit comfortably in smart-casual settings (country club, weekend brunch). Puffer vests skew more casual and work for outdoor, weekend, or active wear.

When should I wear a vest instead of a jacket?

A vest works best in the 45 to 65 degree range, where a full jacket would overheat but a single shirt isn't enough. Vests give you core warmth with full arm mobility, ideal for activity (hiking, working, driving) and for wearing under a heavier jacket as a midweight layer in deeper cold. A jacket replaces the vest when temperatures drop or wind picks up.

How should a men's vest fit?

The shoulder seam should land at the edge of your shoulder bone. The vest should layer cleanly over a sweater or thick flannel without pulling at the zipper or armhole. The hem should hit at your hip. Sizing usually matches your normal shirt size, but if you plan to layer over heavy mid-layers, sizing up gives more flexibility. Most fits in this collection are cut to layer cleanly without feeling tight.

How do I care for these vests?

Most vests in this collection are machine washable on cold with a tumble dry on low. For puffer vests with down or synthetic fill, tumble drying with two tennis balls or dryer balls helps restore loft. Sherpa-lined vests do better with cold wash and air drying to preserve the lining. Quilted shell-fabric vests can usually be wiped clean for minor marks. Always check the care label inside each vest.
