Past Season Quilted Wool Vest (M)

This vest is a joke. I have several XL Anian items (as they usually fit small) and this vest is triple the size. It is more like a XXXL. I tried to get a credit back from Anian but they refused. This must be the reason there are so many of these on sale on Facebook Marketplace.

Quality of the garment looks great but sizing is very inconsistent with other items from your line up. I have two other items from Asian in xxl that fit me perfectly, I purchased this in an xxl and it fits more like a xxxxl. In its current state it’s not an item I can wear. I’ll be going to a tailor to see if it’s salvageable.

Purchased for my husband. He loves that it isn’t bulky but still provides a great layer of warmth! Quality is top notch! Super happy with it - now I need one too!

This was a present for my husband (after I was in the store and tried one on).. he absolutely loves it

The size was as indicated in the fit guide, and the garment is really well built and warm. A great addition for both casual wear, and outside work.

Good solid vest

Awesome fit,,

Great fit! Love the colour as well :)

Great quality and a great addition to my outdoor wear.

Love the product but ordered an XL online thinking it would fit the same as the other shirts I have bought of which I have a dozen between the various types and colors. This vest is at least one to 2 sizes larger than what I think an XL should be. Unfortunately they did not have a medium or a large for me to try on when I went to exchange so I'll gift this vest to a larger individual as no way this will fit me. Too baggy...in the belly.

Warm and stylish -- a design that's simple and clean. The olive colour is dark -- almost charcoal gray but not gray at all and matches up with just about anything.

Sizing is very generous -- it's definitely sized to go over a bulky layer, so size down 1 if you want a trimmer fit. [For reference, an Anian XXL usually barely buttons over my pudge, but this vest in XL still has room for a hoodie or light jacket without being tight.]

This vest is almost exactly what I was hoping/expecting it would be. I made the decision to buy this because it was on sale due to it likely being end of season, and the only sizes they had left were the bigger ones.

I was looking for a wool vest, something likely more durable, with some good build quality that I knew would last. I was leaning towards something that was lined, and preferable, with something other than a synthetic material - many wool vests seem to be lined with polyester, which I think is a terrible idea.

I would've preferred this was a 100% wool exterior shell, but the 80/20 wool nylon will suffice.

I'm about 6'1, 180lbs, slender build, and this fits great! I got a L, and I suspect a M would've fit nicer, and probably would've been preferred, but I have zero complaints about the slightly larger size, as it allows me to throw it on top of a bulky sweater or even a jacket.

The only negative to the L is that when I sit down, the "stiffness" of the material is more firm (like most wool "outerwear"), so the collar can rise up a little if you happen to be slightly reclined since it'll hold its shape. I think that's where a M size might've helped, because it would've been more fitted, less material to present in the way I'm describing now. Obviously, not a deal breaker, you can either unzip first, or just pull the vest down as you sit so it doesn't look like you're sitting inside a firm jacket.

I really appreciate the build quality - I can see this thing lasting a long time. I like that they use a metal YKK zipper, and it can even unzip from the bottom if you need to open it up a little.

I don't believe this is a thicker wool material they've used, but in nearly every place that you can pinch to feel for fabric thickness, they've done a good job of either doubling it up with the filling, or sewn the cotton lining. The only place they didn't double up is the inside pocket on the bottom left.

The pockets are great - wide opening, deep(ish), great for keeping your hands warm, even if you happen to have a pair of gloves on.

I tend to wear this with a wool overshirt which is slightly thicker, and the combo of the two are perfect chilly weather duo.

I'd love for them to do something like this with a hood, so that if you happen to step outside and aren't wearing a beanie or something, you can throw on the hood to stay just a bit warmer. =)

It's been the closest thing I could find to a wool vest I wanted to add to the collection.

It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close; love the quilted look as well - ticked off a lot of boxes for what I wanted in a garment like this. The wool is maybe a tiny bit scratchy for me, barely, but hey, even cashmere can be a slight bit scratchy as well, so take that with a grain of salt.

Great job! I'd definitely buy again. I'd love it if they offered it in a few other colours as well.

I have bought a fair amount of things from Anian. This is the best so far. Great quality and warmth. Slightly big, but it is a vest. Really good addition to my wardrobe!

Little stiff, doesn't form well when sitting, may improve with age. String ends hanging loose that didn't get caught in inspection and needed trimming.
Overall a properly nice garment.

I was looking for a wool vest for weather that is just cold enough I want a jacket but which might get a bit warmer through the day, and this fits my frame perfectly. Held off cold winds in Edmonton and Jasper.

Excellent quality and great Canadian brand with outdoors style.

Superbly done!

Excellent quality of the materials and construction. Great looking and really comfortable. Very happy with it.

Only downside is the inconsistent sizing between products. I wear XL Modern Melton shirts and sized down to L for this vest. Still was too large and needed to have it taken in. Check the measurements, before you buy.

Anian is my favorite clothing brand. All of their garments are high quality and functional fits. Worth the cost especially when on sale. Would recommend to anyone and extra bonus points for being made in Canada and using recycled or ethically sourced fabric.

Excellent quality, pairs nicely with any layer. Vests are a versatile garment in winter, I’d suggest another version of this one with a collar that turns up. 👍🏼.

As with all my other anian pieces this vest is beautifully constructed and aesthetically pleasing. Looking forward to a lifetime of wear.

Nice vest, but the zipper is wretched. It takes about 45 seconds of fiddling around to get it zippered, and one has the impression that there may be a time in the future when it just doesn't work at all.

Awesome vest. Bought two

It is warm but not too hot. It does very well wet. If I changed anything it would be a little slimmer at the waist.

Excellent quality. Nice fit.

It is a really nice vest, feels good and looks good. It was a bit too baggy around the middle, and I did have to get it taken in by a tailor.

Great quality and fit. Would buy again.

The vest is well made. The sizing continues to be baffling. Though warm and comfortable, it is very boxy and loose fitting especially below the chest where it is VERY LOOSE! Regarding sizing: whereas in other products such as the Melton shirt in size XL, I had someone try this vest on in the store and as it turns out could probably wear a Small. Oh well, still like it. A sweater can fit underneath but it is too baggy for keeping the breeze out without a fat underlayer.

A little baggy fitting but otherwise fine.

It was exactly what I was looking for , wear to the campfire or a work meeting !
