Flattering Vest

I ordered this vest and the Pleione, both in size Small. I am 5’1” and weigh 132 pounds. The Caslon fit perfect and is flattering. Even on my short frame, it is not too long in my view. Whereas the Pleione was much larger and bunched up around the back, which added pounds and was unflattering. I returned the Pleione and kept the Caslon.

Horrible Vest

Absolutely horrible fit. Would never recommend this vest. So disappointed as I really wanted to like it.

This is Cute!

This vest is perfect! it fits nice, the waist actually hits where your waist is, it's a nice heavy weight fabric, and it goes with almost every top I own. Trust yourself, you'll love it and wear it a lot.

Super cute utility vest. I can see this being very versatile for fall/winter here in NC. It does run a bit large though, normally I would get a small or a medium in this but I actually wound up with an XS. The only thing is I wish was a bit different is the waist could be cinched a bit more like it shows on the model. The fabric on this is heavier than it looks in the photos so it's a bit tough to get it cinched in without being too bunchy. Other than that, a very cute piece to add to my fall wardrobe.

Adorable but HUGE

I am a perfect size medium according to the Caslon size chart. This vest, while being super cute, runs VERY large. I sized down to a small and am currently waiting for it to arrive, since when I called yesterday to return they were out of extra small in olive green. Hoping it fits and I don't need to return again for the extra small! If you are thinking of buying, I recommend sizing down 1-2 sizes!

Cute, casual and stylish

I love this vest! I bought the XXS Petite and it fit me well. I am 5'2, 110, 34-28-35, for reference. The color is more attractive in person than online. It's casual and cool. You can wear this all year round, over a sleeveless top or tee shirt in the spring and summer, and over long sleeves in fall and winter. It's a medium weight. The fabric is soft. It runs true to size in petites. The length came to below the hip. It's hard to find a modern, stylish vest, and this one is great!

Very dark, very jungle safari

Wanted to like it; but no. The fabric is very dark grey, wrinkley twill. The zipper pockets are not easy access and if you use them regularly, you will scrape your hand each time you put it in. The gathered waist is bunchy in the front. The back is nice; great shape, great length, nice drape. The metal snaps from collar to bottom are very heavy. I am looking for a nice trim lightweight vest that I can wear all the time... with useable pockets.
