If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
This vest is very well made. The fabric is terrific. The fit is the issue that prompted my return. I am petite. I am 5 feet tall and weigh 100 pounds so I have a tough time finding things that fit. Your sweater vest, that I got in the fall, does just that. It is very fitted. The vest I returned fit great through the chest; but, was too wide from th... Read Moree waist down. The generous cut was not flattering on me.
I wanted to love this vest so bad. It's super soft and has a nice relaxed fit. But the zipper... When I had it zipped up the zipper would rub my neck and it did not feel good. This design needs some kind of zipper guard at the top/neck area.
Thank you for sharing this feedback, Alithea. We're sorry this vest was so uncomfortable! We're sharing your notes with our product designers. We're glad you've returned a vest that wasn't going to make you happy. Please reach out to us if we can help you find an alternative that will work better for you!

Perfect Brown Vest
I had an old fleece vest that was due for retirement - so bought this great Patagonia to replace it. It's perfect - great for birdwatching & hiking - and even wear it to my office on "casual Friday" - Love It
The outside fabric is fine. The inside fabric below the breast has some sort of a fiber lining with small holes that covers the rest of the inside of the garment. It pokes fiber and itches like small bites. I have another one that I received as a gift and it has no lining except for the pockets and it is great. Both products say they are polyester,... Read More but this one is definitely inferior. I'm sorry I bought it.

This retro vest is great
This retro vest is great looking retro and cozy as can be. I have several Patagonia jackets and vests. My husband got me the retro outdoor vest in XS and it was way too tight, so when I ordered this retro casual vest I ordered size S, but it is too big - armholes, shoulder, body. The vests, however, I have trouble with sizing. I am keeping it bc I ... Read Morelove it.
Love this vest. Can be worn morning to night: when you wake up in the morning and need a robe over your pjs, when you go out for a walk over your joggers and then at night when you watch tv. Perfect addition to my wardrobe. I got the off white which makes it even more versatile.
I've purchased one of these from WornWear and a second from the Patagonia site. I bought this because I needed a warm vest for spring and fall in the Midwest. The material is super soft and cozy. It's high-quality and has held up well as I use it for running errands around town and outdoor activities.
I have a Patagonia vest that I purchased in 2001(?). My favorite favorite rumning vest. Was so happy when the retro vest became available. I bought two of them. One from the Patagonia store and the other from Dicks Sporting Goods. They feel so good, lightweight, warm, zip pockets, and wash well. May buy more colors!!!! Hope these last as long as my...

Patagonia customer since Chouinard Equipment Co. (Still have Creag Dugh climbing pack.) Bought this for my wife, who is 4-foot 9.

Size up works perfectly, but this didn't used to be the case with earlier Patagonia gear, which ... Read Morewas designed for layering.
I love Patagonia products. I have a closet full. This vest is too long, too bulky and boxy. I am keeping it because I like the color. But it will not be my go to like my older vests.
Rugged, comfortable and warm. Purchased for my wife as I already have the vest. She loves it. Would like a two way zipper, the breast pocket to be vertical and the tail of the longer.
I bought one of these vests last year. Size large. Fit perfectly. This year I got another in a different color and was very disappointed to find it didn't fit as well. It was tighter around the bottom and wasn't quite as long. I'll be returning it.

Great quality
I like everything about this vest. I had to exchange the L for XL, but with the right fit all is perfect.
When I heard about the owner of Patagonia giving away the company shares to help save the planet and fight climate change..I immediately went on the site and bought this vest.
Looks Good and Feels Good; and the little pocket on front a plusmy second oneand if more colors available am sure theres room for another in my closet;-)
I loved the vest and the color but Im very slim on top and its arm holes below the shoulders were huge openings, so it looked like I was wearing a couple sizes to big for me. Unfortunately I had to return it.
We're sorry to hear the Retro Pile wasn't working for you and we appreciate your feedback! Your options for "slim" fit vests are currently our UltraAlpine Down Hooded Vest and Better Sweater Vest. In the future, you might also check out our Nano-Air Vest. Thanks for the review Janet!

Have to return
The best is way long snd the shoulders are funny to me. Flare out a bit. Maybe I needed a smaller size. Im large breasted so order xl.
Hey Maxine, thank you for the review. If you'd like to exchange you can begin the process [here](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html). The chest will be 21.5" laying flat for the large.

Very nice but too big overall
Susan is High waisted so the vest is too long and arm pit too roomy. We will likely return it, but it is of a high quality material and a well tailored covering for the appropriate physique.
Thank you, David, for taking the time to write a review. We're sorry to hear that the Women's Retro Pile Fleece Vest did not work for your Susan.

Cozy and comfortable
I love this vest..why didn't I get this sooner?. I'm 58 yrs old, 5'2 130 lbs Asian woman. This fits like a charm and I have broad shoulders. I swim walk/hike and do yoga. I may need to take a nap in this. Glad I got the rosehip because I tend to go for darker colors..yay me for going outside my comfort zone! I like it. You will too.
Love the color! I guess Im in between Fits. I can zip Slim fits, but they are then body-skimming. Regular fit was Huge. I was swimming in it. Im petite with small bones but of retired age. I would only recommend this to a friend with a larger frame.
Thank you for this review, Susan. We're sorry to hear this regular fit didn't work for you, and you needed to return it! Please let us know if we can help at all with finding something that might fit you better, or if you have any questions about your return.

Cute but Pilling :(
This vest is super comfy and cute however, all of the fleece falls out and gets all over my other clothes anytime I wear it. I love the fit just kind of sad that every time I wear it with a hoodie or shirt under it, it gets all over it and has to be washed.
Hi Katie, thank you for sharing this review. We're sorry that vest is shedding so much! Some of that shedding can be prevented by hand washing, and line drying or drying flat rather than using the dryer. But if that vest isn't going to work for you, you are still welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) it. Please let us know how we can help!

Wonderfully cozy without being too hot. Makes a great layering piece.
I have worn this vest every day since it arrived, because the weather has been brutally cold and it fits better than my other fleece vests, and it looks better. The one I got is a smoky blue, much prettier than the one pictured here, and it goes with everything . I love it.
I love this vest and I really want to make it work but it is huge on me. I have a medium Patagonia Down Sweater vest that fits perfectly even over a sweater but the womens medium is so large I wondered if it was a mans medium. Sadly Ive decided to return the vest.
You mean "Retro Pile Fleece"? Very meh, but not a problem.
This is a classy piece. Bought it for my wife since she has trouble staying warm without bundling up. It looks nice on her, too. She loves it! Yea!, me. Her only complaint. A bit snug around the hips. I am enjoying learning about Patagonia through your communications. I prefer less frequent communications though.
I was on the fence about this vest when I ordered my first one as it seemed a little large and unflattering... and then I proceeded to fall in love! It's so warm for our cold wet weather in Pacific Northwest - I love the length, I love the sizing that gives me room to move, and it's so warm I want to live in it all day. So I own 3 now, an... Read Mored I love them all. I love all our Patagonia, but this is a personal favorite for both myself and my husband.
I LOVE THIS VEST! I FRIST ORDERED AN EXTRA LARGE AND HAD TO EXCHANGE FOR A LARGE, SO IT RUNS A LITTLE BIG. IT IS SUPER CONFORTABLE AND VERY ATTRACTIVE ON, AND VERY WARM!! I LOVE IT!
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We really appreciate the feedback regarding the length of the vest. We'll share this with our design team. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) if you decide the fit isn't quite right.

Love the look
I love the look of this vest and all the pockets it has. The only down side I have found is that on the inside of all the pockets (so basically what you are touching with your hands/knuckles when you put them inside pockets) the material is not the same as the vest itself and is this sort of mesh material that has holes and catches my wedding ring ... Read Moreevery time I put my hands inside to keep warm. I have to end up turning my ring around on my finger so it doesnt catch the fabric and potentially rip it. I would have preferred a softer and warmer material to line the pockets.
Extra large size should be bigger. More unisex fitting. Bought two Patagonia vests this year. Both fit well in the hips but that is key bc they run long. In turn that means the Top/ Shoulders area run a bit big all in the same vest!
Was looking for a medium weight fleece vest and this ticked all the buttons, comfortable, long enough without being too long, soft and loose without being boxy or bulky, plus I LOVE the soft rose pink color. Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase!
Love this vest. Husband bought it for me, the coral color is pretty, I dont normally wear pink but I love it. I have two other Patagonia vests that fit more slim that I wear for snowshoeing, winter running, skiing I like that this one is basically a jacket without arms, not as tight fitting. Good for casual wear.
In love with this bestso soft and warm, but not too hot. Cute enough to wear with normal clothes, but also good with athletic wear. Definitely recommend!
Even though it is a bit big it is wonderfully comfortable, especially when I am out walking in the cold. I intentionally purchased a large size so I would have extra room. I love the inside pockets. They are a necessity. I carry my phone, a small wallet, hand sanitizer etc. and they all fit and do not balloon out. I will not purchase a vest, jacket... Read More, or other type of outerwear that does not have inside pockets.
I love this cozy vest because I can wear it on its own or as a layer. I work in a bookstore and its perfect if Im chilly but dont want to wear a coat or anything that restricts my arms. Its very good looking and I get lots of compliments!
Sad to say that this vest is kind of shapeless and not very warm. I already returned the XS and bought the XXS. Very disappointed though. Feels like soft cardboard. And it doesnt look very nice. Because it just hangs with no shape. I will give it away since I am tired of returning clothing during COVID.
This is my go to vest for everything. It is a perfect layer under jackets or wearing on its own with a long sleeve under it. I would recommend! I got a medium so long sleeves and sweatshirts would fit nicely under it. It is the perfect length to wear with leggings too.
So happy to see a vest made like the better sweater vest in styler use to be made. Thank you
Would love to see this style in better sweater material and lots of colors. Thank you Patagonia

Goldilocks - it's just right
I was looking for the right thing to wear in the office when it's not too cold and not too warm and you need something that is *just right*. This piece fits the bill. Warms my core, fits nicely, and looks tidy!
This vest in incredibly cute but runs large! I'm usually a S/M in vests but I went with an XS and it still looks big on me (I have to roll up the bottom when I zip it up so that it doesn't look weird/too long). I would highly consider sizing down unless you really want to add a lot of layers underneath.
I love a fleece vest to help keep me warm. This is super cute and versatile in that it goes with so many outfits and I can dress it up or keep it uber casual and still look good.
I usually wear a small and always order a medium from Patagonia. This vest has a looser fit than other jackets and vests I have. I like the looser fit right now since that has become more of the trend. I love this open over a flannel.
Have been on the hunt for the perfect vest. I love Sherpa material and decided to purchase this for chiller days. Its perfect length and keeps my core warm! Highly recommend!
I went deep on your vests and men's, too before I ordered the women's large. I am size 8, 5'9" tall and weigh 147lbs. I noticed in the photo it looked long. Once you have on over jeans, a flannel, maybe another layering piece, too, it lays nice and flat when zipped...no pulling and tightness through the hips. I also like the big... Read Moreger circumference around the neck and armholes, so you can wear a hoodie underneath, too. I bought the pelican color with navy trim. Perfect color for fall through spring! Thank you for the thoughtful design.
I really liked the blue color and softness of this vest, but it is much longer than a typical vest. On its own, it seems a strange length, and even more so if used for layering. I will return but would love to purchase if designed for a lower waist fit.
Hi Laura, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the disappointment with the length of the vest. We appreciate feedback like this as its crucial to improving things for future seasons. We'll pass this along to our design team!

What is up with the Zipper?
I just received this vest and was very excited to wear. I agree with other reviewers that the product is long, but I was okay with the fit otherwise and love the color and comfort. However, the zipper may force me to take this back. I frequently like to zip my jackets and vests all the way up, and this zipper will scratch your neck, as it is comple... Read Moretely exposed at the top without any protective hood around it. Very rough, very sharp. Disappointed as Patagonia is typically very thoughtful with such details. Not sure what happened here.
Sorry to hear about the lack of zipper protecting fabric! We will be happy to help you return your vest under our [Ironclad Guarantee](https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/Ironclad-Guarantee). You may prefer our Los Gatos, Classic Synchilla, or Better Sweater vest. Thanks so much for your valuable feedback, Lydia!

All around great vest!
Super soft and well fitting vest! I’m 125lbs, 33/24.5/34 (chest/waist/hips). The vest fits comfortably, with some room underneath. Size up if you want extra room for multiple layers underneath. The fabric itself is extremely soft and so cozy. I haven’t worn it in really cold weather but it seems to keep my core nice as toasty thus far! Would highly... Read More recommend.

Cute but too long
This review is as much for customer service as it is for customers. This vest is warm, cozy, cute and well made which is why Patagonia is one of my favorites. However, the vest is too long for shorter people. Not everyone is 5'9 like the model shown, I am 5'4". I wish you would PLEASE make things for shorter people not just models. I... Read Moref you could make your pants like another favorite of mine, Kuhl brand who makes their pants 28" inseam for shorter women, 30 " for Regular and 32 for taller women. You would sell a lot more and not waste material, as I always have to have my patagonia pants hemmed to fit me, a common complaint I hear. So, when I find a great product that offers 28" inseam I stick with them. Most of us shorter girls don't need petite pants as they are shorter in the crotch, we just need a shorter inseam. Same for this cute vest. I did keep it because its cute and warm but when zipped up it covers and cradles my butt. Needs to be about 3-4" shorter for shorter women. If you are 5'9" like the model it will look like your picture. I don't mind paying a little more to have shorter versions of pants/vests/shirts (arm length) etc so I don't have to bother finding an alterations person after my purchase. Oh how I wanted to buy two more vests and some pants but will only buy the one vest because of the length. Thus only the 4 stars
I love the look of this vest. I have several vests from Patagonia for ski/snow, casual wear, but needed a size up. There was something about the fabric structure and weight that didn't work for me.
I originally ordered a medium like my other Patagonia tops (which fit perfectly) and the vest was too bulky for my liking. Exchanged for a small and Im very happy. Have only worn a couple of times but it generates warmth the moment I put it on and is super comfortable. Pockets and zipper work great, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. So far, so goo... Read Mored!
Got this for work (required to wear red/burgundy) and it made the perfect addition to my winter outfits! This vest never fails to keep me warm while still looking cute!
I have a hard time with Patagonia sizing for my large frame. I typically wear a Large/12, but this is true to size, maybe a bit roomy, but perfect over another layer. I would say it runs roomier/longer on me than the fit on the model.
I just moved from sunny San Diego to not-so-sunny and way colder coastal Humboldt and really needed a new vest to complete my colder-weather gear. This vest is super-cozy, warm and comfortable and makes a huge difference when the winds kick up (this is one of those "feels colder than it is" places, very humid). I'd read another revie... Read Morew here mentioning that this particular vest is a great fit for women with larger chests, and I concur. I often have a problem with clothes that are too fitted because of this and tend to like clothes on the baggy side. The retro fleece is a relaxed fit that's great for me. Just "boxy" enough to not be tight across the chest but still flattering. I say that it runs "true to size" because my idea of large is that it should be, well, LARGE, and this is, but saying that it runs "kinda large" is probably not inaccurate either. I got the salt gray and think it's super-cute as well as really practical. I really could not be happier with my purchase.
The vest is warm, cozy, great pockets, nice color contrasting detail. I recommend you wash before wearing. Mine shed heavily. The reason I sent it back was the way the fabric hung when anything was in the pockets. It looked sloppy. Not for me. Id like to tru the retro x when new colors come out.
I an not a regular vest wearer. However, this vest could easily convert me! Very, very nice vest. Warm but not bulky. Stylish but functional. Well made. I love it. Absolutely no complaints. The medium was a snug too tight. The large fits me perfectly. I fluctuate between a medium and large. I am better fit with the large for this vest.
I ordered this along with the Marsupial. I have lived in Classic Fleece when the temps are down for years and was a little hesitant to try the Retro Fleece. So glad I did. Very warm and comfortable
I tried the small as well as extra small. Neither fit well. The vest is very long and wide. I returned both and purchased the better sweater vest which has a much better fit and looks great.
Here's a problem I've had for a decade. I've been buying your clothes since I was a river cook, ski bunny and bon vivant back in the day. I'm now 71 and not used up but your clothes haven't fit me in a long time. I understand changing fashion ( I was a clothing designer in New York City in the early 70's) but this curr... Read Moreent thing with the skinny sleeves and "slim fit" sure doesn't work for me. I weigh 120 pounds but have to buy a medium so I can zip things up. I am far from voluptuous and not particularly overweight, just old. This vest really doesn't fit. It looks like I have on my dad's clothes but it goes halfway to my knees. I needed something like it though so here I am.
We love Patagonia as casual wear and thought this vest would be awesome. And it mostly is except for the top of the zipper under the collar. There are hard plastic edges where the zipper ends inside the collar. If you zip it all the way closed its like two tiny vampires trying to pierce your neck.

This Retro Pile Fleece Vest is exactly what I was looking for! After trying on many styles of vests that don't flatter a larger chest, I came across this one.

I have been looking for a vest to wear with my medical scrubs. This vest is perfect I am able to zip it up without it feeling too stuffy.

This vest is exactly what I was searching for -nicely made, great colors and fabric. However, I had to return it as it was a bit too snug and way too long. I need one in petite sizing.
Patagonia's Retro Pile Fleece Vest provides warmth, comfort and style. I found this item to be a bit larger than I might have expected with size medium.
Great vest for everyday wear. Its more bulky than the synchilla but its texture has a more cozy feeling to it. Its a bit more boxy than the synchilla or the nano vests but I still purchased my normal size and was happy with the fit. Its just a different look.
This is a very cozy vest - heavy fleece. Runs a bit large so I sized down. The collar and zipper, however, is a deal breaker for me. I hate when my neck is cold so often like to zip my vests to the top. The collar on this vest though is not very tall, which might be ok if the zipper had a zip cover flap over it. When it is completely zipped, it is ... Read Morevery uncomfortable -- zipper stabs your neck. Such a bummer. If not for the exposed zipper at the neck, this could be a great vest. For now though, the my re-tool vest is still my favorite... too bad Patagonia stopped making those. Hoping for a design change on this Retro Pile vest next year.
This is the only Patagonia product that has ever disappointed me. It sheds (my seatbelt is always covered in white fuzz after I wear it) and looks so dumpy after a year of light wear. Really an outlier. I love all of my other Patagonia gear.
My first vest I have not liked. The collar is too soft to stand on its own. It runs big and after 2 washes it is still shedding on everything. It just sits in my pile of vests and when I’m comes to the top of the pile I always skip over it.

Best Vest Ever!!
I am a vest wearer. I prefer a fleece vest because it's more cozy and easy to move in. This vest is so warm, cozy and cute it tops any other vest I've owned.

Read Moreeeping my hands warm and snug. Lastly, I'll mention the length of the vest because I am tall and like my tops to fit over my waist which this vest does. It doesn't ride up on me and it isn't too puffy. It's just right. I am 5'7" tall, 126 lbs and usually wear a size 4 or small. I am happy to say a small fits perfectly - like it should. Please keep making this vest Patagonia and don't change a thing!!!!!
You guys and gals are awesome. Original product came perfect, but wife wanted different color. The new color and return was super easy to process. She loves the vest. Long time fans. Thanks again
Loved it at first, but after first wash the zipper is puckered.
I loved this vest, and the idea of it. After I washed it on a wash and hung to dry, the piping next to the zipper shrunk and is now puckering the zipper so that the zipper is scrunched and wavy.

Hi AJ! Thanks for leaving your feedback, and we're very sorry to hear about the shrinkage you experienced on the Retro Pile Vest! This issue is covered under our [Ironclad Guarantee](https://help.patagonia.com/s/article/Ironclad-Guarantee#searchterm=ironclad), and you are definitely welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) that item under warranty.
Love the look and design, perfect light vest that is still warm, but after a week of wearing it it started to pill very badly.. disappointing in that regard.
Hi Kaya. We're glad to see you're satisfied with the design and weight of your vest, but it's a shame about the pilling. To prevent pilling, we recommend washing it either by hand in cool to cold water, or separately in your washing machine on the gentle cycle. It's best to lay it flat to dry rather than place it in the dryer where the fabric can easily get unbraided.
To remove pilling that has already occurred, a sweater shaver or sweater stone is an excellent tool and can help the garment look brand new again.
Of course, if you are not pleased with the performance of your vest, you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) the item to us for a full refund.

it took 2 tries to get a size that fit but the fit is still not great. The problem is the arm holes are way too large when wearing this vest with just a shirt.,.If I were tower it with a sweatshirt they would be find. Also the room for ease in the chest if too much.

I love the material and color (Beech brown) of this vest. Super warm, soft, and well made. However it does run large. I usually wear a medium and could easily have gotten a small. Otherwise one of my new favorites.
This vest is mostly what I wanted. It does run big - I'm usually a medium jacket, small top in Patagonia, but I had to exchange this for an XS. My only real complaint about it is the collar isn't very stiff so unless it's zipped the collar flops down. Otherwise it looks great and is warm.
