So I ordered something just like this but a 3 x I’m a curvy gal NOT fat ;) so I’ve got a couple issues in the front up top and sadly a little lower belly due to babies even if it was 20 years ago ha and and then two upper tummy lovely hernias from carrying that lovely “baby” so I’m 5’5 and about 190. I have a 2x top normally due to above issues and chonky T. rex arms….well I initially ordered a 3 x and wanted to cry it was HUGE and made me look huge wear i was nice :( and tightening it at the back did nada so I was like ugh going down to an 2x will do nothing I will be able to button it but the chest and arms will be huge!?? And still be swimming the arm wholes we’re flipping open haSo I decided to risk it and go with just the xl after seeing some handsome bearded dude on here in one and he was bigger than me ( he was also 6’4 and did I mention his ginger beard ;) saying his was an xl and it looked perfect!Well got it today and tried it on omg it’s perfection!!! I’ll add pics later but I’m soooooo happy!!! The ladies in VESTS androgynous look is hot now and this vest looks so darn good on the ladies to!!!Got the chocolate herringbone one and it was ONLY 20 bucks!!!So I’m trendy and saved money !! I plan on wearing it with bow tie over a brown turtleneck neck dress ( doing the hot monochromatic Diane Keaton look) or with just a bra a skirt and a blazer !!! #ladiesvest too… Wooo ladies ….and men who like their beer will love this vest it’s most def TRUE to SIZE !!! No need to feel fat and order the largest size with this vest !! Thank Gioberti i will def buy more!! go with the size chart and add a few inches where your most chonky part is and then maybe order up but again my belly is chubby and I got most the buttons down…( mind you I can button all down it’s snug but it literally looks so fab everywhere I ain’t mad at it…..and is ladies leave a couple buttons open anyway at bottom sooo yea size chart accurateThese vests are much better quality and cut than the PJ Paul Jones on Amazon. They are longer, covering your shirt and little of your belt. Despite being labelled slim fit, they fit my beer belly just fine. I can't recommend these enough!IIs a nice looking vest, but it runs a little small in the back. Pretty normal for overseas made clothes. Some larges fit - some don't. I had to return a large but have ordered a XL. If it is the same quality as the large I will keep.I own several vests in various colors for casual wear. Gioberti is hands down one of my favorites. I own several. The cut on these vests are VERY flattering for men. The fabric that falls over the shoulder is the PERFECT width to flatter men's chest and shoulders. Material is terrific at this price, nice feel and appearance (70% polyester/30% rayon), light to medium weight. Solid construction throughout with care to styling. Top pocket is a bonus.Wear with jeans OR dress pants!I am 170-175lbs, 5'10", suit size 41R on average. I'm between medium and large sizes in general.I ordered this Gioberti vest in size Medium, Herringbone Olive. Measurement from top shoulder seam at neck to bottom of front points is 26". The olive green is a WONDERFUL dark---very dark---olive green (not olive drab brown). I'm always nervous ordering green for fear I'll look like a leprechaun. You will NOT look like a leprechaun in this vest (although compliments MAGICALLY appear when I wear these vests). Gioberti gets extra points for choosing a stylish olive green color. Well done!A few tips for the guys...Unless your weight has not fluctuated more than 5 lbs. either way in the last 10 years, ALWAYS get a vest with adjustable belt at the back like this one. Put on the vest and adjust the back belt to your waist. Then remove the vest and tie off the belt at the little buckle to keep from loosening in the future. (Google how to tie off a vest belt.) Next, carefully iron the vest front and back. Spray with water mister on the vest's packing creases, set iron to medium heat, gently work out the creases front and back. Done. You're good to go!Now put on that crispy, long sleeve, button shirt, leave the vest's top and bottom buttons UNbuttoned, and ROCK THAT VEST! My vests always get compliments from the ladies.Having had other vest by this manufacturer, I was not disappointed. They shipped really fast and the vest was well packaged.They provide good customer service too.Over all this is a good vest for both business or casual wear.I do recommend their product line of vest and the colour availability.Runs extremely small.This is a sharp looking vest. Looks just like the photo. I was disappointed that it says “fits as expected - order normal size” to find out it actually runs quite large. The chest measurements provided are wrong. Definitely stick to ordering the smaller size if you’re on the edge of two sizes.I wasn’t able to use it because it was the wrong size.I ordered a size bigger because I was worried it would be too small but it’s true to my shirt size. It could be gorgeous but the arm holes are way too big. I ordered another (a size down) and the arm holes are still very low cut. They need to be raised at least 4 inches. I am reaching out to see if a seamstress can help me but that’s more cost (update) a seamstress can’t help you here. I’m tall and broad. I also know fashion. They made it taller but decided to increase the margins for everything instead of keeping the arm holes from an xl. I’m disappointed. Also, I’m returning both sizes.El producto es bueno pero hay que ver bien lo de las tallas, yo soy por lo general grande en chalecos, compré este en grande pero me queda muy grande, hubiera sido mejor el mediano supongo.es un poco confuso lo de las tallas, generalmente la base son las medidas de la camisa que uno usa cuando te aparece que la medida es 41 y la siguiente es 44 estas entre que te quede ajustado o grande, un poco mas estandar como talla 42, o 44 seria mas entendible.ME AGRADO MUCHO EL DISEÑO Y EL MATERIAL QUE LO HACE VER UN TANTO RETO, EL UNICO PERO QUE LE PONGO ES QUE LOS COLORES EN VERDAD SON MUY DIFERENTES DE LA ESPECTATIVA A LA REALIDAD.Excelente prenda, muy buena calidad, el color es exactamente lo que esperaba,Buena calidad, lamentablemente no le quedo a mi traje.
