The new vest came today and it's way too big. I need to measure it and re-calculate the size, but at first glance, it's 6 to 8 inches too large.
So, the good news is that I really don't need an 8X. Maybe, just a 5X. (Hey. The 3X jacket fits great. Lots of room for a sweater. As if one could be cold wearing a leather jacket.)
