Best Non-Fratagonia Vest

Guys,

I look around and there is Patagonia everywhere. I need a new vest but I refuse to look exactly like every other guy in finance on a casual day.

What are your suggestions on the next best vest?

Thx

Not a huge fan of vests. They're not all that practical or, in my opinion, fashionable. I'd go Barbour or J. Crew, and I'd probably avoid fleeced ones.

 

Nobody cares about the brand, you'll still look the same. If you are really concerned, get an argyle sweater vest.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
 

Who wears Fratagonia after college? Time to grow up and get on the Patagucci train while it's still at the station my man.

Hoping for hedge life.
 

There is a really cool start-up out of Cincinnati that is well funded called OROS. They use the same gel in space suits to make jackets and vests that are extremely lightweight but are very warm. Their jackets are as thin as a workout jacket but can withstand sub-zero temperatures pretty well

Check out their website, you might like the vests. They look sleek
