Puffer vest with PrimaLoft®

I'm disappointed with the quality of this vest. The sizing runs large and boxy -- which I could deal with. But one run through the wash (on delicate, low spin and extra low dryer heat) and the stuffing is all bunched up in random areas and non-existent in others. That is not the quality I expect from J Crew.

This vest reminds me of the old Seinfeld episode of the ‘gortex jacket.’ Anyhow, I was pretty surprised when it arrived at how puffy it is. I ordered the yellow because I love that streetwear look and it was on clearance, but it was even too ‘street’ for me lol. I looked like a giant jar or mustard. It was jus sooo big and puffy. It was very well made but I should have sided down. I am going to try again with a smaller size and a darker color. For reference, I am 5’6” and 145 pounds with an average b cup chest and straight (non curvy) figure. I am usually a solid medium and rarely if ever size down. But I just want to look less puffy so I am getting a small the second time around. Fingers crossed it will work better than the medium did.

Ordered this vest on sale. Color is beautiful, but it runs large. Purchased my normal size, but it was too bulky. Went to exchange for a smaller size and the Fair Oaks location refused to exchange for a smaller size because it was purchased on final sale. I now have something I can not use.
