I wear 2XL sized clothes, so to be safe I figured a 3xl would be loose and comfortable. I got the vest and oI buttoned it up. It was a bit snug, but thought nothing of it until I sat down and buttons shot across the room. I was embarrassed and unhappy. If I knew how to send this back for a refund I would. The reason it's two stars is I like the tie, but the tie is not worth the price of the combination.
