I've decided my one major piece for this spring is going to be a down vest, but I haven't been able to find one that's quite what I'm looking for. I would just get one vintage, but I don't want something that looks to "ski-jacket" or "western" (i.e.; chevrons, pointed shoulder patches, shirt-collars or corduroy).
Basically I'm looking something in a solid color, with good handwarmer pockets, and a slim enough fit that it's not hanging off me. I don't mind if it's big enough for layering, but the pictures of L.L. Bean or Lands End vests look gigantic, and I don't want to end up with something that's hanging off me even with another jacket or sweater layered under it.
I actually mostly like the styling on the Bean waxed-cotton vests, they just look huge. There's also that great Polo one that I didn't have the money for when they had it online, but I can't find it anymore. Are there any other decent options for around $100?
