Re: What do you think of the Susan Graver vest TSV... - Page 6

I did order this vest, but sent it back. I am a M, sometimes a S, but this vest just didn't do a thing for me. I ordered it in the cream color, but it looked dull and yellowed...not good on me at all. I love cozy vests, and maybe in one of the other colors, this might work. The sizing was fine, but there was something about the combination of textures that also didn't appeal to me.

I love the colors, and I love the gold zipper, but like others here, I'm not a vest wearer. I'm more of a jacket/blazer girl. My SIL gave me an Old Navy quilted one for Christmas many years ago. I remember wondering then, if I'm cold enough to wear a quilted vest, my arms are going to be cold too! I don't think I ever wore it.

Had this been a jacket, I would have had trouble deciding on a color!

Yes, I agree with you and others who have mentioned this. The only way most of these types of vests work for me (I own one quilted-type vest from Talbots, but it's "puffier" than this one) is if I layer something underneath, like a fleece jacket or pullover. I have to use it as an extra layer of warmth for my torso (which I often need), not my only layer of warmth on a chilly day. That said, I think that something like the TSV could be worn as a bit of a fashion piece; that is, it is not a super warm, puffy down vest, so it could be worn as a textured layer when the weather is just a bit chilly, or even indoors since it has the sweater knit portions.

The arm hole looks "fitted", doesn't appear to be generous.

I don't think $49 (really more like 60 when you add shipping,tax) is a very "special value."

I like vests on others but like so many have said, when I'm cold, my arms get cold too so I wouldn't wear a vest.

I did use to have a hard time saying no to a jacket however!

Laughing at the tie the vest for a "blouson" look comment and the michelen man. I can see Susan tying the vest lol!

Is $49.00 just the vest or does it include the striped top? Thanks
@wonderfulworld, I don't think the top is included.

Thank you bri20.

@Andreatoo Funny - I bought this same vest in the shown teal color too. I did like it but it just didn't seem to hang nicely on me. I think it's the lapels. I like lapels but perhaps they're a bit too large/wide which seems to make it pull down. I just can't nail it but it didn't work good enough for me to keep it. Too bad.

Hope you love your's and it look fab on you!
