Excellent all around vest - very well made
My favorite cool weather vest. Great styling and very well constructed. Double zipper and two inside zipped pockets are very helpful.

High Quality Gilet
High quality clothing, expected from Peter Millar, this Essex Gilet is good for the course and casual ware.

Awesome!
Fits perfectly, site measurements were true and such a beautiful color. I loved the special bonus with the bottle opener attachment.

Genuinely Disappointed
I bought this as a reward for myself for getting a promotion at work.
I opened the box and the first thing I noticed was a weird crease on the collar that will not flatten out easily and can't be ironed as per the instructions.
Sure the "premium polyester" is prone to creasing, but receiving the product in that state was disappointing given the price of the vest. ZARA's packaging feels more premium, and any cheap collared shirt with the cardboard that keeps the collar in place feels more well thought out.
All in all, I can't say I'm happy with this purchase. I like that it has extra pockets on the inside, and the bottle opener is a nice detail, which was one of the reasons I bought this vest in the first place, but I was disappointed at the end of the end. The tag says "The highest quality fabrics, [and] impeccable craftsmanship...", but the polyester and a creased collar speak for themselves.
The mint was nice, but I would've preferred a nicely packaged vest.

Same Name / Different Vest
Nice vest but not the quality of previous versions. Noticeable changes in materials, weight, and features from previous version yet more expensive.

Unhappy customer
I just bought the Essex vest to replace the one I have had for 4-5 years.
There is no comparison between the two. The new one is cheap looking
and not substantial like the old one. It does not have the detailing as in the
old one.
This is simply a shoddy product.

Quality Tanked
I bought a few Essex vests in 2024, now, 2026 the Essex vest is basically stripped of all warmth and quality and your left with what is basically a really large scarf!! This is the biggest waste of money and truly a sign that this brand is done with being a unique quality clothier. Never again will I even look at this brand.
