Also, if you have already tried on a piece of outerwear, do you mind sharing your review? This might help other JCAs decide which items to try (or which ones to avoid!)

My personal pick is the Excursion Quilted Vest in Herringbone (Item 93111; $138.00) that is currently on sale for $103.50. I purchased this great vest (as well as the solid ivory version) when it was on sale (25% off) in stores last week.

It is a beautiful piece! The contrast piping and gold hardware are nice touches. I know some JCAs are not fans of the printed herringbone graphic, but I actually found it lovely. I also think it will make it easier to clean.

As for sizing... I own the Excursion Quilted Vest version from last year and found the size XS fit me best then. For whatever reason, this year's version of the vest fits me better in the size XXS. The chest is a tiny bit snugger, but the body looks much better on me. So it might be best to try this on or call for measurements, to make sure you order the right size.

Lastly, this vest (in all its forms) must be selling well, because I notice that my stores are only carrying a few sizes now (instead of the full range).

What are your thoughts on this latest promotion? Are there are pieces you are interested in getting? Have you already tried on a piece of outerwear? If so, please share with us your review!
