Every day I see gaggles of vest wearing junior banker bros without a shred of individuality. But rather than the old group think fashion statements like all wearing the same Gamo or Gucci bit loafers with the shiny belt or wearing identical blue suits with the shame sheen on them, the vest is just ugly. I'm in no danger of being dumped for jr bankers. I can afford the Patagonia with the sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone inside their building realized there was a suburban 14-60 demo being under-serviced in regards to expensive fleece. It's the new Northface.

What unique part of SF's typical maritime climate makes fleece vests sensible? Who said SF was unique? I imagine vests are a good option in other maritime climates too. But I never found any use for them on the east coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I never found any use for them on the east coast. I’m in Atlanta and the vest was the perfect option for walking the dog today. I had actual three piece suits back when I was a dorky banker, but that went out quickly. I don’t wear them to be formal, I wear them to be comfortable. And I don’t care what anyone else thinks as long as I’m happy! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to the damn store and get the rest of your coat! lmao I have one or 2 of the old Navy ones that I used to wear all the time in the winter here, I usually wear hoodies when it's cold and they are warm. You lose heat from your core, not from your arms so it doesn't affect you much if you don't have sleeves from a jacket. There's nothing wrong with them unless your a little sissy who's afraid of their forearms getting chilly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Old Navy...no matter how hard you try, fleece jogger shorts and a fleece hoodie vest over a long-sleeve textured gingham shirt is not going to be this fall's fashion hit. Stop pushing your garbage on the rest of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous Guy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Why and When to Wear a Vest for Warmth "Vests provide more warmth than most people realize, and even help keep your extremities warm. How is that possible? When your core temperature starts to drop, the body reduces blood flow to your extremities, increasing blood flow to the core in an attempt to protect your organs1,. By keeping your core insulated and warm, blood flow remains constant to your extremities, keeping them warmer. That is why often a long sleeve shirt with a good vest (and the right gloves, hats and pants) are enough to keep you warm when being active in cold temperatures. " That being said I'd never wear a vest...it's stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
