Review on Men'S Slim Fit Wool Blend Herringbone Tweed Waistcoat Vest by Jacob Rasmussen

I REALLY wanted to love this vest. The colors are awesome. The material is surprisingly nice (can’t tell it’s not 100% wool). Overall, the craftsmanship is darn good, but as you can see in the pics, plaid pattern matching is off, especially near the lower armhole and pocket areas. At first I thought I might try to order another one and see if it’s a isolated issue, but both vests I bought (in different plaid colors) exhibit the same lack of pattern alignment. I believe the same can be seen in the stock photos as well. Due to the nature of the pattern on the brown one, I think the misalignment is too noticeable, so I’m returning it. On the gray one, however, the plaid lines are so subtle that the misalignment doesn’t catch my eye so I’m keeping that one. Given the overall quality, I think these vests are actually a great buy: handsome, well made, and reasonably priced. I’d just recommend sticking with the solid color options.
