This hooded vest opens on the sides and can be worn in many ways. Brass buttons hide a zipper to give it a wrap look--have the convenience and security of a zipper but the elegance of a button. Made from recycled cotton. ~PLEASE NOTE THIS OPENS A LOT SO SIZE ACCORDING TO THAT~ I have had a few exchanges because people felt it was loose, they ordered XXL and needed to size down. EMAIL me before ordering and I can help you to save the expense of shipping. Thank you:) This is not just a vest, this vest is an experience!
