"This doesn't even need to be as soft and cozy as it is! It's a vest so it'll be layered over shirts and under coats but let me tell you the wool and linen mix make this feel like fluffy little alpaca pillow. The lining an light pill add to the fluffiness with out making the vest puff y or heavy at all. As with any good vest you gotta have a variety of pockets and and a stellar pattern. Check and check.
