Brenford™ Plaid Vest with Classic Lapels and Copper-Toned Buttons

The dark green vest with a burnt orange tie looks sharp without feeling like the usual black suit combination

What surprised me most was how the lapels make it look almost like a little jacket when worn over a plain shirt

The front sits nicely standing up but pulls a bit at my stomach when I sit down

wore the blue one with dark jeans for a date and didn't feel overdressed at all

Those copper colored buttons really pop against the charcoal fabric and make the whole look more interesting

I expected the plaid lines to be loud but they're pretty subtle until you get close

The arm openings are a little roomy on me so I like it better over a long sleeve button down

My favorite way to wear it is with the sleeves rolled up and no tie at all

Picked brown instead of gray this time and it looks great with a cream shirt and leather boots

It gives my usual wedding guest outfit a vintage touch without making me look like I'm in a costume

The blue shade is brighter under indoor lighting than I expected but it grew on me

I already owned a plain black vest and the windowpane check makes this one feel totally different

It looks put together even when I skip the suit jacket and just add a watch

The little pointed shape at the bottom is what sold me since most casual vests have a straight hem

Used it for family photos with a white shirt and the textured pattern showed up really nicely

The shoulders fit me fine but I wish the sides were a touch narrower

honestly the copper buttons were the reason I picked the green instead of basic black

It's easy to switch between a dressier tie outfit and something relaxed with a black tee underneath

I love that the plaid has thin lines rather than giant blocks across the chest

The gray version with navy trousers is a combination I wouldn't have thought of before

It's more structured than the knit vests I usually wear so there's a little adjustment at first

My wife suggested adding a pocket square and it made the outfit feel ready for a formal dinner

The brown plaid looks especially nice with tan shoes and an off white shirt

Nice looking vest but I should have checked my chest measurements because my usual size felt snug

Took a simple shirt and jeans outfit from everyday to dinner ready in about thirty seconds
