WOMEN'S SARANNA SWEATER VEST
By Spry Old Lady
from Reno, NV
About Me Casual Dresser
These are great style vests to go over blouses or long sleeved turtlenecks. I LOVE vests! These run a bit on the small size so the XLG size was just perfect for me (I usually wear M or L for roominess.) I the colors are rich and the blue is on the "smoky" tone that is so rare to find!

I ordered this vest in a medium and there was no way I could get it buttoned, it was WAY too small, more like an xsmall, very disappointing!

great vest
By Skagit Valley girl
from Sedro-Woolley, WA
See all my reviews
I love this vest. But it is kind of fitted, so if you don't like that look, I don't think you will like this. I got it to go with Tawnya Zip Turtleneck I also ordered and they go together perfectly, another nice thing about Woolrich, their colors always cooredinate! And the neat thing about this vest is that you can dress it up or down as you need! Another nice thing about it is that while it is warm it isn't so warm that you have to shed it in the middle of the day and ruin the look you are going for!

I love your clothes
By Ms Herbs
from York Co, PA
This vest was incredibly tooo small. I think it was made for a child. I have other boiled wool Woolrich products are fit just great. What happend to this one. I had ordered it hoping to wear it soon and now I have to send it back...What a hassle. You need to be able to trust certain compnaies to have constant correct fit or why spend the time ordering from them? II have purchased many Woolrich items from the main store in PA as well as Cabellas, Boscovs, etc. I do wish this had fit...I do not see how an even larger size would do it...I do belived this was miss marked somewhere along the line. I hate returning things...that is whay I felt good about ordering from you.

I am returning this vest very reluctantly. In every aspect except the boiled wool it is a perfect vest for me.

Great vest
By No Name
from Concord.Ca.
I layer with a vest almost every day because of back injuries. A sweater can be to bulky and sleeves can get in the way. So a vest works well. I can slip a jacket on if I'm going out and add very little bulk to what I wear. The shape of the vest is classic yet modern and best of all it has pockets. My only gripe would be sizing. I ordered this vest in red and blue,large. While the red vest fits perfectly, the blue had a 3 inch gap to close. I reordered in an x-large and it was a true fit,which was to big. Alas!! I will try again and hope I get a true large,I do love the vest.

Wish they all fit the same.
By Amon.
from Concord, Ca.
Nice vest, well made. Clean lines,could be dressed up or down,depending on what you wear. And it as pockets!!!. I ordered another one in blue and I was 4 inches from closing it. I had to send it back for a bigger size. Need more consistancy in sizing.

Women's Saranna Sweater Vest
By GoldenTexas

Great for layering - very comfortable. Wish it was longer.
Great quality!
By Happy Nonni!

This vest was exactly what I wanted except I thought the fit was somewhat snug - I was happy I ordered the medium size.

Same item, different color and size
By mountain dreamer
from Brigham City, Utah
I ordered a vest that was the same size as a vest I had ordered last year. I had ordered a size that turned out to be too small. When I exchanged it for a size larger, the same size was sent to me. The color was also different from the original one sent and wasn't as blue. I called about the size problem and by then, the next size up was out of stock and no more were expected. I think customer service should have called me. Even on sale, I think the item was overpriced, but it was something I wanted very much!

Great fit and toasty warm!
By PF
from Milwaukee, WI
This is a great little vest! At the sale price it's just right; full price a bit overpriced. It keeps me warm throughout the day and is wonderful for layering due to its lack of bulkiness. I would buy another if the price was right. Can wear it with slacks or skirt.
Inconsistent sizing
By Mountain Lady
I have another vest the same size from your company and it fits perfectly; however, this one (same size) is too tight. I wish you had consistent measurements in your imported garments; better yet, get them from the United States.
Attractive and comfortable
By Lulu
from Colorado Springs, CO
I first ordered this in a large, based on the comments I had seen, but the armholes were too big. I reordered it in a medium, my usual size, and it fits fine. I like the bluebell color as it coordinates with many other colors. The boiled wool, while not heavy, is a welcome addition on cold days.

sizing is way off
By mominberkeley
from berkeley, ca
I like the colors. The stitching is good BUT the sizing is way off! I ordered the Medium and it was REALLY tight across the chest and snug everywhere else. OK. I'll get the large. So I exchanged it and I'm swimming in the large. Just weird. I'm bummed because I like both colors and the wool, although not overly thick, is thick enough to add warmth without it looking like a jacket or something. Too bad. The medium is more like an extra small in relation to the large.

Nice & Warm
By Bulletmaker

Nice warm wool!!
Returned smaller size, larger size works
By birmanslave
from Atlanta, GA
I like having a jacket alternative for less formal occasions. I love the fabric, color & make but found that because it ran small & I had to reorder a larger size the fit under the arms is not as good and I will have to do a small alteration.
Cute and warm
By Donnah
from New Hampshire
I like boiled wool sweaters and jackets so this was a good one to get as a vest. Color does not match the website - its a less bright blue. I like it though and will get many days this winter matching up t-necks and shirts with it.

Well-made vest, but runs small.
By teddybear
from Knoxville, TN
Was tight compared to other Woolrich ladies' XXL's. Love the neutral blue, denim-like but solid color.
warm, stylish
By dogwalker
from Kalamazoo, MI
This vest is perfect with jeans, but nice enough to wear with dress pants.
Just what I was looking for
By Addie
from Grand Blanc, MI
No give at the bottom of vest, so it felt restrictive. Try putting a different kind of tape. Beautiful color, well made

Nice and warm without being the least bit bulky. Good fit. I'd buy again if it came in more colors.

Adds warmth without bulk
By MotherEarth2u
from Greenwood, IN
I found the perfect addition for my jeans. I can put it on when I walk the dog and take it off when I'm sitting by the fire. It's lightweight, comfortabe, and easy to wear with zipper front. Wish they came in more colors.

beautiful cut for a 2X
By Melody
from Seattle WA
Great under a gortex raincoat. I wish it had bias tape around the armhole. It would look more professionally done, not a cheap import.

Cozy with a little panache
By Bikechick
from Seattle, WA
This is just the right weight to wear in the house or outside on an early Fall day. I bought it because I thought it would coordinate well with denim, but there is a slightly green cast to the dark bluebell vest. It will work well with brown pants.
