Although we've patterned this vest after a style that we designed for railroad conductors in the late 1800s, it's still the ticket when you need a warm, distinguished layer. Today's wool/nylon blend is washable--a definite improvement over the original--and features a hidden center-front zipper. It's very functional, too, with four front patch pockets, including two with snaps. Twill tape trims armholes, back hem, neck, and pockets. Back strap adjusts with a metal slider buckle. Dropped back hem. Slim cut. 80% wool/20% nylon. Imported. Machine wash; line dry.

  • 80% wool/20% nylon, 18.5 oz
  • Machine wash
  • Zip front closure, black twill tape finish around edges
  • Adjustable belt at center back
  • Four front pockets, two with snap closures
  • "V" notch bottom front hem
  • Centerback length 25¼"
  • This style has a small fit. For comfort, you may want to consider the next size larger.

    Comments about Men's Railroad Vest:

    I bought as an extra layer for underneath my Woolrich hunt coat, also in the red-black. The vest layers very well underneath the jacket and matches as well. It also does well on it's own when the temps are merely chilly.

      I wear this 1-2 days a week at a therapeutic farm where I work as a counselor. It keeps me warm walking between buildings and keeps me looking professional for the setting. I love this vest. The pockets are perfect for keys, phone, notes...Great vest!

              My one earnest suggestion is that you call this a Railroad Conductor's Vest, as you have in the past for a long time, not a "utility vest" which means nothing at all, and more importantly is no fun.

                          I previously ordered size medium, was to small, ordered another size large. Second vest tag marked large, it is not same size as first medium.

                          So will give both as gifts to other family members, my first gift recipent will receive something we can try on in a store.

                            Vest received had nice dark blue piping. The website showed the piping as bright green which had me concerned. The vest I received (dark blue piping) looks and fits great.

                            We keep the thermostat low in the winter and wear layers of clothing. This vest was a gift for my husband. He is 6' 4" and weighs about 195, not skinny, but on the slim side. He wore it over a light sweater and thought it was a bit tight. I thought it looked good, but he wished it had been a bit roomier.

                                  I've been looking for a vest like this for years. I have purchased a number of vests in the past. I either gave them away or have put them away because they just weren't what I wanted, both in fit and looks. This is a quality product and I will definately be buying another one in the future.

                                      I got X-Large. Large may have fit better. I may be in between. Feels great. Nicely warm. I got it on sale at a great price.

                                        Looks good, I layer it with light jacket.
                                        Very happy with my purchase. Thanks

                                        I really like this vest, it is a great weight, thin, but tightly woven wool with some heft to it. I am six foot and 170 lbs and find the large fits nice in chest and shoulders, but the waist is a bit roomy, even with the back adjustment cinched all the way. Overall, this is my new favorite vest and a go to item to wear on chilly days. I have the traditional red color. My wife doesn't care for the style, but I love it.

                                            This is a great vest. My only real complaint is that the sides seem to be to billowy. When I cinch down the back so it fits properly everywhere else, the sides under the arms puff out. Not a big deal for me as it will be mostly a layering piece.

                                                I bought a large first, since that's my usual size, but it was way too bulky. Returned that for a medium, which fits great in the torso, but the arm holes are still so big that the fit below the arms are baggy. And why isn't the top portion of the zippered front closed - what's up with the couple of inches' gap? Otherwise, it's a great vest and a bargain at the sale price.
