"I’ve been wearing the vest for a few years and love it. It’s a snug but comfortable fit. Bulky sleeves underneath probably won’t work unless you size up enough. I did not size up as I wouldn’t want the sleeves any longer. Very clean look, perfect for any occasion."
"This is the very best jacket to own, I have 6 of them to go with every winter, spring, fall outfit I have. I wear it like sweater. They wear like iron, I started with 2 and then added 1 a year. I highly recommend"
"Perfect for spring in Canada and Alaska…layers well over base layers and under rainwear. Will be getting another!"
"If I could only have one mid layer, it would be this jacket. It is good quality and appropriate for many activities and occasions. I have worn it on several multiday rail fanning trips, to an international business training, to the gym for workouts, and also some pretty nice restaurants. It is super comfortable, has zip pockets, and doesn't stretch out of shape, even after being worn for several days straight. It's plain so it can go from sporty to business casual without missing a beat. I got harvest mélange color and it's right at home with my earth toned wardrobe."
"Love the jacket, but not the way the neck line fits. It does not live flat and has a weird fold on the right side not sure if it’s a defect in the jacket itself or the way it’s made."
"Love this cardigan jacket in Admiral blue. The material and construction is the best in the industry. It maintains its shape with constant wearing. I can dress it up for an evening at the theater. I chose to upsize because my goal was to have a loose comfortable fit for casual or dressy look. Now that I have established my fit I intend to get another Shak in green. I also have the vest in gold and I love that piece also and have received many compliments on the fit and color. Expensive but worth the price for the quality of the product."
"I am very happy I decided to get the Shak Jacket, after researching many wool jacket options. The weight is just right. I can throw it on for quick errands or take it hiking. I like the simple, unadorned design. I feel this will last a long time!"
"I love it. Perfect fit and color."
"This medium sized jacket is stylish and I wear it with the ibex long-sleeved tee. Only problem is the fit. I am pear shaped, 5’6” and weigh 140 pounds. The shoulders fit fine, but the waist and hips are cut too skimpily. There is an opening of 4” down the front. If the jacket had a double ended zipper, I could wear it closed on top and open from the waist down. Fabric is very nice and will hold up over the years, I’m sure."
"I have the Shak hoodie in M but I intend the Shak jacket to be more fluid between work and play settings. Hence, I swapped it for a S with shorter torso and arms. Let’s see how that works out."
