scottevest.com Reviews
About this CompanyOur story begins back in 2000, when Laura and Scott Jordan - our future Pocket entrepreneurs - realized the world of fashion was light years behind the ever-changing world of technology. Laura was tired of carrying all of Scott’s gadgets in her bags and Scott’s traditional pockets couldn’t carry everything he needed...and a man purse was out of the question. Scott had a brilliant idea: he would create a modified fisherman’s vest but with extra pockets, enough to hold all of his essentials but still stylish enough to wear out around town.
Those were the humble beginnings of SCOTTeVEST. The company has now evolved into an international business, with a full line of men’s and women’s vests, jackets, pullovers, hoodies, shirts, dresses, underwear, pajamas and pants; all designed to strategically hold and organize your personal belongings so whatever you need is always on hand.

I’ve had my vest for a few years now, and like its overall appearance and light weight comfort. However, the zippers are incredibly small and delicate. Way too often they get jammed up or caught in the worst possible moments. Please, please, please upgrade the zippers so that this product can be used without issue.
Clint C - 01/21/2023
Improvements to pocket size and covered zippers very nice and well done
Lee - 01/05/2023
That are very comfortable and convenient for carrying lots of items. My only wish is that you made one in Navy blue. Thanks.

This is my 3rd vest, I love each one, great fit, allows me to carry all my tech on hikes and at work.
Pocket S - 09/03/2022
Please make this in more colors including dark grey, navy and dark brown because I can throw all my other jackets and suit coats out thanks to the perfection of the featherweight vest.

I have quite a few pieces of Scottevest clothing and love every piece I have. Recently I was going through some clothes that were tucked in the back of one of my closet. I thought it was probably clothes that didn’t fit any longer or a pile to donate to charity. Fortunately, I was wrong on both counts-it was clothing I hadn’t worn in awhile. To my surprise and delight one of the pieces was a Featherweight Vest still partially wrapped amongst other items. Just a few days ago I was thinking that a vest just like that is what I need! I’m partially handicapped and use a tall walker. Carrying things is always a chore. If I place items on the walker inevitably they either fly, roll or fall off. Even if I’m using a cane for a short distance, now I only have one hand and need two. A Featherweight Vest works so well for me in all these situations! And the Vest is perfect for the summer. Light weight and true blessing to keep everything I need close at hand! Thanks, Scott! I originally bought your products for frequent travel. Now I buy them to help me navigate everyday living!

I like this vest but a few simple changes would make for a much better vest. Zippers get stuck in fabric much too easily and need to be more robust. . Zippers should have long pulls for easier access. Zippers should be in contrasting color to make them more visible. Collar should be a contrasting color to tell "which is up" Pockets should be see through on inside to help locate things.

I have replied to many of these survey requests but feel it is a waste of time. I don't get a reply back and never see any of the product suggestions implemented. I'm not expecting miracles just a little two way dialogue.

Used to be able to pick USPS for shipping, which was never a problem for me. Now, the only option is UPS. End result? About $97 in shipping and duties, which is half the cost of the item. The duties portion of that $97 fee? Around $57. This is absolutely ridiculous, and is in no way a representation of duties charged by Customs Canada. The Canadian Government hosts a website that lets users estimate the taxes and duties for goods purchased from and manufactured in a USDMCA country. For this item, this tool calculated duties and taxes of $11.90 CAD, yet Scottevest is charging me $57 USD for duties and taxes. (~$71 CAD.) This is a difference of $60 CAD! Simply ridiculous.

Well constructed and well designed. Still test-driving it but like it so far and recommending to friends and family that travel. Zipper got caught in the fabric on the upper left outside pocket once. Difficult to sit in a vehicle and put on a seatbelt with iPad stored in the inside pocket. I get it. It's pocket science, not a magic vest. But that's my feedback at this point. I would buy it again.
Why SCOTTeVEST?
Started a new job on an island and will be spending a lot of time outdoors. Needed something to carry my technology as well as other small items: sunglasses, car keys, flashlight, laser tape measure, etc.
Improvement
Still early in my assessment. The zipper getting stuck in the fabric is one concern. I freed it with a some effort.
Satisfied
If I'm disciplined about always storing my sunglasses in the vest, I will never walk out of a restaurant without them again.

Have you thought about an integrated cell phone charger? I see so many people sitting next to a public electrical receptacle waiting for their phones to charge.

This is my 4th or 5th Scottevest. Liked the option of a very light one.

Fast delivery, great product.

I bought my vest 12 years ago. I love it but my gf does not. Maybe because it’s a little tattered I’ve worn it so much. I am 6’4, 230 and the XL fits well. Also own a couple of t-shirts and a lightweight coat (which I don’t wear much) I have the tan (?) colored vest. Thinking about getting the black one. The only problem I have is I can’t remember which pockets I put my stuff in. Don’t need the channels for wired headphones anymore. Would be good to have more colors to choose from. Also an inside pocket for concealed carry. Otherwise, awesome product (s).

been in Spain for the last week and throughly enjoy the safety of the vest pockets with my valuables. The vest is good but the zippers get stuck on the interior cloth. It is a royal pain in the butt. I’m travel for 60 weeks. You’ll see plenty of photos of the vest for the next year on instagram 60at60# or 60at60.blog All my best Scott

I’ve tried 3 other travel vests over the years; none measure up to this one. It’s absolutely perfect for my travel- flights, cruises, and frequent tours. It holds everything discreetly, safely, and comfortably.

Very light and practical vest. I probably won't even be able to use all the pockets! Wish it was a bit more stylish.

Ordered the extra large and it was too big, so ordered a large that fit well. Both were delivered very quickly, and the return of the wrong size vest was really easy.

It’s going to be great when riding on the CanAm motorcycle this summer . It has just right amount of pockets and I will have no worries about my personal effects.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
