Frequently asked questions
Does the vest’s length include the neck edge?
Yes. The total length is measured at mid back including the neck edge.
Are the vest and jacket the same fit without sleeves?
No. The vest is designed with approximately 12–18 cm of positive ease and has its own measurements and quantities; use its table rather than the jacket’s.
