But a few things I've noticed:They have BIG sizes! Big American sizes 4X+ (I couldn't find many that went past XL or even 2XL) let alone 4X+ !Tons of pockets! I count at least 17!But the drawback is the material, it seems it's 100% cotton but on the thin side and more like LINEN!But again if you're a big guy it's hard to find anything like this so just buy it!

Nice vest could use with some more addition inside pockets. It could come with a catalogue of inserts to hold weapons. Had to get a size larger than I normally wear to accommodate my weapons.

Im 5' 7" and I weigh about 200 pounds.Even though I was somewhat confused about sizin as some folks said it sized larger and others said it sized smaller...I decided to go with since thats what I wear in T-shirts.I ordered it on 02-28-2017 and got it on 03-09-2017.Soon as I got it I put it on and it fit excellently well.The stitchin seems well done.The is removable thanks to it bein held on the pocket by velcro rather than actually sewed on itwhich is a groovy improvement over the last 2 kinds of vests I owned.Its now my E.D.C. / Travelers Vest.I measured the pockets best as I could and will be listin them below.NOTE...I measured the horizontal / width first and from left to right on the grouped pockets.LEFT INSIDE TOP POCKET 4" X 5 1/2"This pocket is big enough to carry my ZTE Sonata 3 cell-a-phone IF I chose to do so.LEFT INSIDE BOTTOM POCKET 1' X 7 1/2"Of note is that this pocket and the one on the right side doesnt seal all the way across which allows you to carry pensand styluses in a vertical position on these 2 pockets.The downside bein that they can somehow work their way out of the pocket and possibly become lost.LEFT OUTSIDE TOP POCKET 4" X 4"I carry my snuff can in this pocket.LEFT OUTSIDE MIDDLE POCKET 5 1/2" X 5"I carry a small notepad with a pen and a stylus in this pocket.LEFT OUTSIDE BOTTOM MAIN POCKET 1' X 7 1/2"LEFT OUTSIDE BOTTOM POCKET 2...9" X 6"I carry my prescription sunglasses and a bandanna in this pocket.LEFT OUTSIDE BOTTOM POCKET 3...4" X 4"I carry a pocket magnifier and a small case of bandaids in this pocket.LEFT OUTSIDE BOTTOM POCKET 4...4" X 4"REAR POCKET 1' 1 1/2" X 10"The zipper opening is on the right side.Personaly Id prefer any future versions of this vest to have the opening at the top.RIGHT INSIDE POCKET 1' X 7 1/2"RIGHT OUTSIDE TOP POCKET 4" X 4"RIGHT OUTSIDE MIDDLE POCKET 1...3" X 5 1/2"I carry a monocular and a disposable lighter in this pocket.RIGHT OUTSIDE MIDDLE POCKET 2...2 1/2" X 5 1/2"This pocket is big enough for my leatherman blast and would also fit a victorinox huntsmanwith a bit of room to spare.RIGHT OUTSIDE BOTTOM MAIN POCKET 1' X 7 1/2"RIGHT OUTSIDE BOTTOM POCKET 2...9" X 6"I carry a roll of toilet paper in this pocket.RIGHT OUTSIDE BOTTOM POCKET 3...4" X 4"I carry duck tape in this pocket.NOTE...The duck tape is on a plastic card makin it flat.RIGHT OUTSIDE BOTTOM POCKET 4...4" X 4"Ive had similar vests before and theyve served me well but I can easily see myself gettin another of this kind as the price aint badand it has the number of pockets I both need and want.I was able to negate the need to use a fanny pack and my mini A.L.I.C.E. pack for everyday carry.The fact that it fits well is always a plus.Again in regards to the ...Id suggest goin by what you wear in regular T-shirt sizes dependin on whether or not you want a looser fit.A lot of reviewers speak of wantin to wear this vest on the outside of their jackets or coats which...To be honest...Baffles me as Ive always worn clothin of this type under them...BUT to each their own.Havin said that...IF you wanna wear this vest on the outside THEN I recomend you get at least 1 size larger than what your T-shirt size is.YES Id definatly recomend this vest to anyone lookin for a good quality vest for E.D.C. and/or traveling.UPDATE 03-13-2017I meant to include this in my original writin of this review...The 3 rings on the vest ARE stainless steel.I tested them with a small magnet to verify this and they was attracted to the magnet.

The reason I am doing a review is so you can see the actual color. The color shown in the photo looks more taupe or warm grey. That is not the color. It is actually closer to a light tan or "khaki" color as described. I used 5500 Kelvin natural daylight bulbs when I shot this to show the true color. I removed the fly fishing patch attached with Velcro. I am using this for photography vest so I don't need that. It is nice they thought about all the potential uses. I should also mention that there are three inside pockets that are not shown and one large one in the back for a total of 17 individual pockets. The two lower inside pockets are huge. Almost as big as the back pocket. The one downside to this vest is the material. I like heavier material. This seems to be very thin and that could be the reason for the lower price. The upside, it will make it less hot during the summer. However, I can see myself tearing a hole in it quite easily. I can't give it 5 stars because of the material.

This product would work well for casual attire. Although zippers are plastic and are tough to open. The fabric is thin and not very durable in day to day wear in rough field or construction work.while it does have plenty of pockets both inside and outside which velcro shut. I ordered xlarge and got large but it fits well.

Fits well, lots of pockets. Not sure I've found them all. Shorter then I would have liked - lost one star for that.
