According to GQ, down vests are no longer just the realm of construction workers and fishermen. When it comes to style, you could do a lot worse than the only paper magazine that most men still read. It works with sweaters and jackets and button downs and pretty much everything else you would wear out of the house. Since it’s getting to the time of year when can’t get away with leaving the house wearing next to nothing the down vest is the perfect solution for potential diamond cutters (awesome on chicks, not so much on dudes). The Crescent Down Works Vest for J. Crew combines the J. Crew name with over 35 years of Crescent Down Works experience. Interior and exterior pockets for the important gadgets and an internal zip-placket closure for extra warmth make up the fine print. And the collar comes pre-popped.
