I purchased this vest in navy XL Petite. I could wear a large in it, but like my clothes very roomy. Since petite is no longer offered in this particular style, I ordered the black in XL regular. When I compared the petite and regular, I couldn't tell much difference. I where this vest constantly in the winter. It especially looks good with the LLBean flannel shirts.
The wisteria vest looks like its blue in the picture, however it is a very brilliant purple. It is very big in the bust, as other reviewers have mentioned. Since I already returned a vest (way too big) and had to pay $15 (Canadian resident), I guess I will be keeping this one.
I am currently living in Shenyang northrn China and wear this vest nearly every day. It is a nice fit except it is a little too big around the bust. I have been wearing it over a polar fleece jacket under my 3/4 down coat. a lot of layers yes but it is below freezing here.I wouldve given the vest 5 stars but it is a little large around the chest
