@worn2fade Since I got my first one, a few years ago now, I don't think I've gone more than a day without wearing one. First of all, it helps me cope with my extreme thinness, and secondly, the convenience of having four extra pockets has become indispensable. I have the two Wabys, the Sashiko, the Hickory, and the Duck, and honestly, I love them all. In terms of texture and color, the Duck, along with the Sashiko, is my favorite. I usually wear them under my CPO or Western pants, and I really like wearing them under a Hanley or a T-shirt.

@worn2fade I think it looks great on you dude. You may have "color shock". You don't have to wear it every day either.
-
@worn2fade i agree with what the others have said. looks absolutely cool over a tee or the tucked western. otherwise - not so much. in the picture of the backside over the tee - is the vest buttoned up? looks a bit large in the back.

@tody yeah man, I think I’m going to return this one. I really wanted it to work out on top of an untucked western but it just looks a bit too off for me in the back.
& no sir, the vest was unbuttoned in that picture. When the vest is buttoned up it fits amazing front & back. I’m assuming with time the fabric will ease up and it looks big cause it’s a bit boxy currently. But like I said, I’ll probably return this one. Still pondering it.

@worn2fade take this advice for what you want, but anything I’ve ever forced to make happen over the years, ends up not being used.

@goosehd basically my wife’s point as well.
And I quote..
“Babe, are you actually going to wear this? You don’t wear light colors, especially not brown.”
I guess I just got too excited to try out duck for the first time, but the truth is.. I’m just a denim man.

This vest appears to be cut much slimmer than the Olive 12oz Duck Canvas Hunting Vest. For example an XL is 21.4" vs. 23" P2P for the Olive vest.
I own only one vest (the Olive Duck Canvas Hunting Vest) and I am confused about how to pick vest sizes vs shirt sizes as the vests generally tend to be cut much slimmer than their respective shirt sizes. Without having the luxury of trying on the vest, how do you choose the correct size? What is the key measurement that you go by?
