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 have ordered from ScotteVest one time in the past and thought I give them another go. My husband loves pockets and deep ones too. So this "8" pocket pant sounded perfect only to find there are only 6 pockets. What they say are coin pockets are only slits inside a pocket which the coins can easily fall out of. Otherwise a nice everyday slack.

The cargo pants do not have enough material in the seat of the pants. This causes the rear of the pants to ride too low on the waistline. This is both uncomfortable and exposes any underwear.

I've gone through 3 pairs of pants and 1 pair of shorts. I love the design and the fit, but they aren't very durable. I wish that they were just a little bit sturdier or reinforced. I'll buy them again when I can afford another pair or two.

I like the fit and finish. I am curious as to the description of “6 pockets”. I can find 4, where are the other two hidden?

Have been a customer, really a fan, since 2006. Jackets, vests, shirts/blouses, underwear! The boxers (2 pockets), easily 10 years old, in constant use are fantastic in how well they are lasting.

New to this SCOTTeVEST. Ordered a couple items to check out. Will hope to order more in the future. Seems pricey, but hope quality is there. I always prefer to buy from family owned business in USA.

Good pants, but lacking in a few ways. Garment is short in the rise, and the extra space in the pockets is hard to access. Material is thinner than other SeV clothes I have had and does not drape wwll

Bought these pants from Scottevest several times great products and buy.
Ward - 10/12/2021
I've owned several pairs of these pants for about 4 yrs now, and buy a couple new pair seasonally. To be honest, it's hard to tell the difference between the ones I bought 4 years ago and the ones I bought last year -- so they're well constructed. Plus these are the only cargo pants my ex-girlfriends never griped about. :)
Why SCOTTeVEST?
Because I carry a lot of stuff. I still continue to choose scottevest over 10 years later because their products are always well designed and look good.
Improvement
The interior "phone" pockets on the vests seem to be the first thing to wear out.
I've also definitely noticed that the quality of the zippers on some more recent versions has definitely declined (this goes for nearly all products -- vests, hoodies, coats and qzips esp). Given that the product is so centered on those compartments, I hate that that's where you have decided to cut costs.
However, the most frustrating thing is when the "main" zipper fails (that is a result of cutting costs/quality), rendering an expensive item of clothing basically useless.
Also, for the hidden cargo pants (of which I own several pair) there's this weird deal where the flap that covers the zipper kind of does a "permanent fold" after a few washes, so it looks like my fly is undone. The material is so thick there, that even with a very forceful iron it still folds back over after a few hours.
Satisfied
No matter where I wake up -- at home, for travel, or camping -- all I have to do is reach for my vest to have most of my items I would need immediately or throughout the day in one place and neatly organized. Plus, I have space to "stash" stuff during the day if I'm shopping or want to carry a camera larger than my phone.

I don't know how the design would work for your patented weight distribution no bulge thing, but a big "back" pocket for the vests (and hoodies) like you have for some of your coats would be nice.

I've been a scottevest customer since 2009, and have probably owned 90% of their products designed for men (fwiw, I still own my first coat/vest and it's in my camping gear rotation to this day). It's very rare that a day goes by where I don't have a scottevest product on my person (most days it's 2 or more). Probably the lowest review I've ever given is a 4 star, but the overwhelming majority have been 5 stars. The products work great for me, in terms of being able to organize and carry my "every day" gear. Also, I tend to need a lot of smaller items for work so it's nice to have those all in one place as well. Traveling with their products is also awesome, as long as you don't forget an item in one of your pockets at security. I just load up my vest, send it through security screening, and then put it back on and have access to phone, tablet, headphones etc. Plus I'm a bigger guy, so being able to get to all that stuff easily on a cramped airplane without disturbing my seatmates is definitely nice (for me and them).

Very comfortable. I would have liked a set of shallower pockets in the front :-)

The material is very suitable for summer as it is quite light. Fits well and the pockets are always well designed.

I love their clothing. Just not sure anymore because of the last experience.

I have purchased a number of Scottevest items including two of the vests. A few days ago I received an ad stating 25% off with the exceptions listed at the bottom. So I went to the site and picked out two more vests, 2 skorts, and a shirt. Got a grand total of $32 off which didn't even pay for the postage. When I contacted the chatline, I was informed only the items on the page which opened up were sale items. The two vests were not 25% off. This ad was very misleading as the vests and limited items on sale were not mentioned. The link took me to a page which did not state only those items were on sale. So I picked out my items and then got the bad news. Why doesn't Scottevest have a separate link at the top of the page for sale items? You have one for Outlet, Womens, and Mens. Then, if someone came to the website they would immediately know that was where to go for the items on sale. Poor web design and misleading ads, not something I expected from Scottevest.

I gave this to my son for a birthday present, and he LOVED it. He is a "pocket man" an loves deep pockets, so this was right up his alley! I got him a black pair and a khaki pair.
Why SCOTTeVEST?
I saw your ads a lot just before Christmas. I have two sons who carry a lot of gadgets, so I thought the clothing here would be beneficial to them.

The website was easy to navigate and seemed to refresh quickly, as some items in clearance seemed to update as I navigated in and out.

Good dress pants. However, not really multi-pockets. The front pockets have a small divider at the bottom, not really making them multi-pockets. The feel of the fabric is very nice.

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.
