I Have a Vest Problem (But One Is Clearly the Tits)

Invested in Vests DUDE REVIEWS — Patagonia, Rhone, JCrew, True Classic, Mizzen, Hilderness, Vuori.

I’ve officially gone all-in on vest life. Like a 2007 finance bro, but with better taste and fewer bad decisions. 😅

In this video, I review every vest I actually own and rank them for fit, function, style, and value—because a vest shouldn’t just look good… it should also serve as your low-key man-purse for keys, wallet, and dad responsibilities.
