I really like this vest, especially at the price! The XL fits great, nice and snug to my body but not constricting. I am 180 lbs, 6’1” with a 41” chest. For those familiar with the M65 field jacket liner (AKA “Smoker’s Jacket”) from their time in service, this is quite similar but in a vest version. I washed it cold and hung it up to dry with no shrinkage, but it would probably even be fine to wash/dry in a regular cycle.
