Accurate sizing
This is a good quality vest. The fleece is warm - hot as it is supposed to be, so I will just wear it just on really cold days.I am a size 54R suit and a 44 waist so sometimes it is difficult to find a great fit. The sizing chart suggested I get a 3 XL Big and Tall due to my chest size (54R) so I did order the 3 XL. It about swallowed me - so I returned it and went with the 2 XL Big and Tall and it fits perfectly. The waist is loose when zipped even with my gut and the chest is loose but not baggy. I am 6'0" 275 for all my bigger brethren. Hope this helps for sizing.

Sweater vests
I Ordered the tall version and the regular version not knowing if the regular version would be long enough. As it turns out the tall version is very long and the regular version is a bit longer than I would have thought. I am 6 foot one and husky.

True tall.
I'm 6'5" 400 and would wear a 4-5 XLT, this is a true TALL and fits great. Could probably go down to a 3 XLT because it fits so big.

Amazon Clothing line is perfect for me.
My body type is husky. It is sometimes tough to find cloths that fit right. I got to say, Amazon clothing line has hit the mark for me. I bought this fleece hoping it would fit perfect and it does. Most of my weight is around my midsection, this fleece fits fine, not tight or to loose. I also bought a pair of stretch jeans from amazon and the fit me perfect. Best part about them both, it doesn't have Amazon written on the outside of the material. I will be picking up more cloths from amazon during the spring.

DXL CLOTHING AT A STEAL OF A PRICE
Exceptional quality. A tad small, but I’m loosing weight so in a couple of weeks it’ll fit perfectly. I love the entire Amazon Essentials by DXL line. You get the quality of DXL clothing at the price of Amazon Essentials clothing. It has to be one of the greatest bargains on all of Amazon. You can literally get 3 articles of Amazon Essentials by DXL clothing for the price of one DXL garment had you bought it in the DXL shop. 👍🏼

I ordered a vest. I got a sleeveless mini dress
I ordered a Amazon Essentials by DXL a 3x Pull-over Hoodie & a polar fleece west. The hoodie is awesome, & fits exactly at 3x. I have a larger one as well, as I used to be heavier. Both hoodies are beyond great, even better quality than their biggest rival (KS). I excepted the vest to be the same. It is not. 2 garments - same size, same manufacturer (supposedly) & the vest is 6 inches longer. If it had a drawstring or elastic down there, it would t be quite so bad. But look at the picture. It even fits the model xtra long. My fault for not paying enough attention. I need it to wear for the cold weather, or I’d order a new one, but I’ll probably get another from a different vendor. And as another note, both were ordered in the same color. The hoodie is far darker.

Excellent for the price
Excellent product. Fit is true to size but the color is off (a few shades darker) if you go by the picture however the color is solid, consistent, and holds up to washing/drying.Shipping was a nightmare thanks to the USPS but that is not the fault of supplier or Amazon so it won't reflect in this review but if Amazon doesn't change shipping options in the next couple months, I will include shipping issues in reviews.

quick comparison Columbia/Eddie Bauer/Amazon Essentials by DXL
using Columbia 3XLT fleece vest as the base- @ 29” long from rear collar seam- @ 8” pocket zip- made in Bangladesh- 2nd in terms of quality of fleece, fabric weave, stitching and zippers- my usual go-toEddie Bauer- @ 30” long from rear collar seam- @ 7½” pocket zip- made in El Salvador- best in terms of quality of fleece, fabric weave, stitching and zippersAmazon Essentials by DXL- generously sized [but not oversized] for 3XLT Big & Tall- @ 32” long from rear collar seam- @ 6½” pocket zip was the shortest but pockets were OK- made in China- last/thinnest in terms of quality of fleece, fabric weave, stitching and zippers- time will tell if the durability justifies the lowest cost

Basic large man fleece vest as advertised.
Arrived next day. Colour is muted neutral tone. Deep zippered side pockets. 4X fit in the shoulders and armpits while comfortably roomy around belly. Even not being XT, good length on vest for covering belly/lower back. Polyester fleece doesn't have 'squeaky' feel often found in lower quality. Zipper front worked smoothly. Neck collar high enough to protect when zip done up fully. Pockets sewn on inside to make extra inside 'pockets'.

Long enough to be a man- nighty
It's difficult to find my husband clothing, as he's long in the body and short in the legs, with a wide chest and a gut that peaks out of normal length shirts. I always buy him big and tall, but this was HUGE! It literally went to almost his knees, and he's 6ft2! Plus, it looks like a weird Mr. Roger's sweater, which is fine if that's your thing, but not what I was looking for. Definitely buy a size smaller than you usually would.

Nice and warm
Very pleased with this purchase and wear all the time. True to size, as ordered a 3XL and should have ordered a 2XL, my size. Washes well in cold water and in dryer on low. Has not shrunk at at. Very very warm and nice and cozy to wear around with a waffle top underneath.

Lacks form
When my husband wears it, it doesn`t seem to have much shape/form. He has a similar vest (another company,) and it looks some what stylish. I suggested he wear this one around home and is older one in public.

It serves the purpose.
It would be nice to get it in black but it looks good. The only thing is that the workmanship isn't the best. When I received my vest I noticed that the one pocket was not sewn on the inside so didn't think it was worth the hassle of returning it so had to sew it up myself. It was about 4 inches to sew. Wasn't too happy.
