Men's Full Size Button Down Vest — Plus Size

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure. Stand relaxed and wear a thin layer. Measure in inches or centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm). You can measure your body or an existing vest that fits best.

Body measurements (for choosing a size)

1. Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the armpits and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape level and relaxed.
2. Waist: Measure around your natural waistline or where you normally wear your trousers.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat.
4. Shoulder width: Measure from one shoulder tip to the other across the back (use a well-fitting shirt seam as a guide).
5. Back length: From the base of the neck (where the collar sits) straight down to the point you want the vest to end.

Garment measurements (measure a vest laid flat)

1. Pit-to-pit (chest): Lay the vest buttoned/closed. Measure from one armpit seam to the other and multiply by 2 for full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
3. Front / back length: Measure from the top of the shoulder (near the collar seam) down to the hem.
4. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem and multiply by 2.
5. Armhole: Measure the arm opening seam-to-seam and double for the circumference.

Fit guidance: For a regular, layered fit allow about 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of ease over your chest measurement. For wearing over heavier sweaters, choose 3–5 inches extra. If you prefer a tailored look, aim for 0–2 inches of ease.

Materials

Common materials used and what to expect:

• Shell: Cotton or cotton/polyester blends — breathable, comfortable, and easy to care for. Blends improve wrinkle resistance and durability.
• Lining: Polyester or acetate — smooth lining helps layers slide on/off and increases comfort.
• Trim & buttons: Resin, corozo (vegetable ivory) or metal buttons; reinforced stitching at stress points for longer wear.
• Insulation (if applicable): Synthetic polyester fill or down alternatives — lightweight warmth with good compressibility.

Typical example composition: Shell 60% cotton / 40% polyester; Lining 100% polyester; Buttons: resin. Always check the product label for exact fiber content and any special finishes (water-repellent coating, pre-washed, etc.).

Model information

Example model references to illustrate fit:

• Regular model: Height 6'1" (185 cm), Chest 40" (102 cm) — wearing size L (true to size).
• Plus-size model: Height 6'0" (183 cm), Chest 48" (122 cm) — wearing size 2XL (relaxed, designed for layering).

If a model is shown on the product page, use their height and the size they wear as a reference point and compare your measurements to the garment measurements above.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Read and follow the garment care label first — it takes precedence over general tips.
• Wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash to preserve color and fabric integrity. Use a mild detergent.
• Turn the vest inside out before washing to protect the outer face and buttons.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softeners that can damage fibers and finishes.
• Hang to dry or lay flat to dry to maintain shape. If you use a dryer, tumble dry low and remove promptly.
• Iron on a low setting if needed; use a pressing cloth for blends or synthetic linings.
• For wool or delicate-lined vests, consider professional dry cleaning.
• Spot-treat stains quickly by blotting (not rubbing) and using a compatible stain remover.
• Store on a wide-shoulder hanger to preserve shape; avoid cramped closets and wire hangers. Use cedar or lavender to deter moths.

Style tips

Ways to wear your button-down vest:

• Layered casual: Over a long-sleeve tee or flannel shirt with jeans and sneakers or desert boots.
• Smart casual: Over a crisp button-down shirt with chinos and leather boots or loafers.
• Cold-weather layering: As a mid-layer under a coat—vests add core warmth without restricting arm movement.
• Plus-size styling: Choose a vest that ends near or just below the waistband to visually lengthen the torso; structured shoulders and vertical seams help create a balanced silhouette.
• Color & pattern pairing: Neutral vests (navy, black, gray, olive) are most versatile. Pair patterned shirts with a solid vest to avoid clashing.
• Accessories: Add a scarf, leather belt, or a watch to complete the look. For smarter outfits, tuck the shirt in and keep the vest buttoned for a neater line.
