Bought this vest. Loved the plaid. It fit kind of funny, and though the hood is very cozy and lined with heavenly fleece-stuff, it fit awkwardly. I didn't find the hood or the…

I ordered this vest for my 3month old nephew. I ordered size 6 mo, so it's a little big but will fit for a while. He looked so adorable, people stopped us on the street to ask…

The material is good, but the design is poor. The lining of the chest and hand pockets is stitched along the zip, which makes the zip very stiff. So the front of your jacket b…
