... If you're in the "transitional period" once briefly goes to the dog before the door, carries little work in the garden, sometimes short car rides for shopping etc!
My husband usually wears sweaters etc. in size 52 - or size XL, which roughly corresponds to the size 52-54. In this outdoor vest he has opted for XXL, because he wanted something to put on a hooded sweatshirt or something else Warming under the vest.
The vest that we received 2 days after the order, looks very appealing, has 2 side pockets (with zipper) to store all sorts of things that man necessarily want to carry with you and can (curled) be stowed in a backpack. But: Even the XXL-size displayed for a man who otherwise fit a little too closely cut in size 52. With a T-shirt it works so precisely that you can close the zipper, but one would like to wear a sweater under the jacket, then it is a bit uncomfortable.
Conclusion: The best 2 sizes larger numbers if you want to carry this outdoor vest in autumn weather!
