Watch Your Back

Lord knows how many of you guys read the copy here, let alone the comments, so you very well may have missed this new vest from Lands End.  Previous only available in a children's model, Lands End has seen fit to offer a version so that us adults can, as per usual, look way better than our kin.  LE rules are in effect on this one - size down for a slimmer fit and scour the internet for any promo codes you can find.  I may be a day late on this one, but it never hurts to go for broke.  Black watch isn't going away anytime soon and a statement piece like this one is a great way to work your way into the conversation.  For those of you going the whole Milano route, pairing this up with a gray flannel suit (under or over, pick your poison) and some brown boots would be straight perfection.  Whether you've already got a stable full of LE puffer's or are in the process of working over some clown selling his Cucinelli on eBay, this joint should hold you over.

    Eh, I think I'd be more apt to go for it if it was wool; I think the blackwatch pattern looks kind of weird on nylon. Also, whoever wrote the ad copy for that "Versatile enough to wear almost year round" has clearly never lived in the South between May and October.

    I got a Lands end vest a few years ago, found the perfect size in the boys section. The largest boys size fit perfectly, and it was cheaper by a few dollars too!

    Yeah, I'm digging this. I picked it up during the sale that ended yesterday for about 27 bucks + free shipping. Pretty great deal.

    Agree that tartans are best left to wool. For the most part, patterned synthetics are for cheap umbrellas and shower curtains.

    I disagree with the pattern looking weird on nylon. This pattern and fabric combo has done well on raincoats and umbrellas for years already. Pair this with raw denim and dark leather boots and you're set.

    My 4 year old son looks really hip in his.

    I am done with Land's End. In two of my three online orders, they've sent an incorrect item. Also a canvas bag *and* its replacement didn't zip properly.

    In my most recent order, they were supposed to send this vest in green, but they sent a baby blue polar fleece. Not even close.

    Andrew, would you contact us at: fanservice@landsend.com? The order issues you describe greatly disappoint us and we would appreciate the opportunity to try and make it right.

    I liked the look of this vest and heard much ballyhoo about the new sizing and design direction of Lands End from many fashion and trend blogs, such as this one.

    I'm a slim 5' 10'' and ordered this vest in a size small.

    My verdict: The adage of it's too good to be true is proven once again. Modern vests should stop around the waist. This vest is way too long: The size small on my 5' 10'' frame stopped around mid-thigh.

    Unfortunately this will be a return and looks like it'll be my last look at Lands End. I'm back to the European sizes and designers.

    With their none free return shipping, I've paid 7 bucks to try on their vest.
