Oh, the Patagonia vests! They're a hot topic in the finance world, aren't they? They seem to be everywhere. But to be honest, I'm not a huge fan. I mean, people pay over $100 for them, and I just don't get the appeal.

As for the kind of person who wears them, it seems like everyone in the office has one. They're like a uniform in the finance world.

Would I wear one? Well, I'd have to say no. I prefer to stand out from the crowd a bit, you know? Plus, I've heard some pretty good things about Barbour and J. Crew vests. They seem more my style.
