Unhappy customer
I just bought the Essex vest to replace the one I have had for 4-5 years.
There is no comparison between the two. The new one is cheap looking
and not substantial like the old one. It does not have the detailing as in the
old one.
This is simply a shoddy product.

Worth the $$$
Light but warm. Clean and stylish but very versatile. Doesn't hug your body like Patagonia which originally I thought would be an issue but the fit allows for layering without an overly tight fit. Overall, I couldn't be happier.

Excellent all around vest - very well made
My favorite cool weather vest. Great styling and very well constructed. Double zipper and two inside zipped pockets are very helpful.

Great Piece
This is the 3rd one I am grabbing up the different colors as I think the quality, style and durability for this price tops anything on the Market. Another great layering vest from Peter Millar— Love it!
