Fit is the most problematical aspect of ordering clothing online. I like loose fits, and before the age of internet buying, I was used to trying on items labelled "large" and finding them a decent fit on my 42" chest, whereas I have been disappointed more than once with an online, so-called "large" fit. Happily, this garment offers exactly the nice, loose fit that we old fellows tend to prefer (and over a corduroy shirt, too), and I therefore consider it to be just right. If I had wanted a snug fit, however, perhaps to reveal a firm, svelte outline, I would have been disappointed. Snug it ain't.The last microfibre gilet I bought didn't wash nicely. It became very soft and, well, kind of flabby. I have to wait to see how this one behaves, but probably not too long, given I bought the light camel.Otherwise, I like the waist-gathering cord with its secure fastening, the pocket assortment is all anyone but the most extreme gadget-laden could wish for, and it's really nicely put together. So, no complaints yet, and that means five stars.
