The Jackson Suede Leather Down Vest brings soft lambskin suede together with the practical warmth of a down-filled puffer. Its caramel suede exterior gives the vest a refined, broken-in look, while the quilted lining and 80/20 down fill add warmth without turning it into a bulky outer layer.
Built for cool mornings, travel days, and easy layering, this men’s suede leather vest is designed to sit close to the body over a shirt, flannel, or light sweater. Antique brass YKK zippers, zippered hand pockets, an interior chest pocket, and cinch toggles at the hem give it the function of a dependable cold-weather layer with the texture and character of leather.

How to Measure Yourself
Shopping online, as most of us do nowadays, you’ll want to know your measurements to help ensure a great fit. The sketch below shows where to take measurements to compare to clothing you already own. Keep in mind, however, those measurements will only be helpful if taken correctly. Tip: don’t let the measuring tape hang loose when you’re measuring, but avoid pulling the tape excessively tight. Here’s how to get accurate measurements:
Length: Measure from the bottom of the collar to the waist seam.
Shoulders: Measure between the top of the sleeve seams.
Chest: Measure the entire circumference of your chest. Begin with one end of the measuring tape 1 inch below the armhole at the fullest part of your chest. Then, keeping the tape level, wrap it around (under your armpits, around your shoulder blades, and back to the front) to get the measurement.
How should a leather jacket fit?
Do the same rules apply to how a jacket should fit as to other jackets or outerwear? Not necessarily. Read on for details.
Leather will stretch over time, so you never want to start with a leather jacket that is too big. But that doesn’t mean you want a jacket that’s too small! It’s also essential to allow room for layers under your leather jacket. Here are a few specific tips for finding a leather jacket that fits just right:
Chest: Leather jackets ought to fit more snugly through the chest than a regular overcoat, but consider the types of layers you may want to wear underneath. If you live in a warm climate and will be layering over light clothing such as a dress shirt or t-shirt, we recommend adding 2-3 inches to your measured chest size. If you live in a colder climate and layering over heavier clothing such as sweaters, we recommend adding 3-4 inches to your chest size. If you land between sizes, we recommend sizing up to the next size available. Tip: you should be able to comfortably zip or button your leather jacket all the way up, even if you plan to wear it open.
Shoulders: Suit coat rules do not apply to leather jackets, so it's okay if the shoulder comes down your arm a few inches. However, even though the leather will give over time if the shoulder seam is higher than your shoulder, the jacket is too small.
Waist: The bottom of your leather jacket should not reach below the bottom of your belt/top of your thigh. This is likely shorter than other overcoats you've owned, but a leather jacket that hangs well below the belt is too big unless you're wearing a long leather trench coat.

"Yes, unfortunately I had to return as it was too small. Quality seems outstanding and am looking forward to my next size UP replacement. I put it in return same day as originally received, does seem like it is taking long time to get back to you. I’m thinking I didn’t allow for the thicknesses of the insulation, which is substantial and I am sure quite warm. Looking forward to receiving replacement. Thanks, Glenn"
