No man, working on a couple of cops for now one being a boot I'm trying to put an order together for that I don't want to mention yet. I'm working on things I've been wanting for awhile that I couldn't get before. Plus it'll be getting warm soon and I won't get much use out of it for now. Doing more streetwear than designer at the moment.

forgot my camera at work but i received the navy wool italian vest today. this thing is awesome. it's not overly bulky and should be warm enough to use in the colder parts of winter in MI. you fools need to pick this up ASAP

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. I contacted CDW directly a couple times to see if they could make a M, and even if they could do that same one in grey, but never heard anything back.
I may try for the 60/40, but that Italian is so unique I really wanted that one.

CDW doesn't do the wool with their own standard line, so it won't happen getting them to do one for you. the materials listed on their site are the only options, to the best of my knowledge.
i'd hold off if you are on the fence. honestly, the premium is worth the wait for another season, perhaps a grey one like you want. i'm glad i didn't decide to save a few bucks and get the 60/40 (although i couldn't since they were sold out of the navy 60/40) the wool is top notch. i'll snap some pictures in daylight this weekend to give it some better justice, although it's basically teasing you since you can't get it in your size. if SW does another one in a grey wool, i'll probably instantly buy another one.

any comments on how the Italian Vest fits?
if I'm normally a Large in J Crew / Patagonia, would a medium work for me in the Italian Vest?
they say measurement is
Chest from underarm to underarm: 22"
Back neck to hem: 26"
but I'm not sure how that compares to others...

Hey Paul, no I didn't but it's still on my list. It's going to be very plain but now I'm debating between that and down sweater in a shade of a particular color I am thinking about not sure yet. I don't know when I will cop since I won't get much more use out of it by the time I get it so may wait until end of summer to place the order (plus I have other stuff coming I need to pay for).
