Size Recommender
Built to handle the cold without weighing you down, the Maxwell Vest is a workhorse layering piece for the season ahead. Its waxed canvas outer shell sheds the elements with ease, while the insulated body keeps warmth close whether you’re on the job or out in the field. Cut with a classic fit and finished with durable snap buttons, heavy-duty zipper, and roomy front pockets, it’s the kind of vest you’ll keep by the door and reach for every time the air turns crisp.

"Comfortable, warm, and earthy tones… high quality and extremely pleased, definitely recommended!"
"Vest looks as it does online. As expected from I&R feels well made. Plenty of pockets, and good fit. Just enough room for comfortable layering in fall/winter. Feels warm too, but will know how far I can push it over the winter. Happy with the purchase. 5’10” 170 lbs. bought a large. Roomy, but not too baggy. Will fit well with hoodies/ sweater underneath."
"Years ago I was in the Iron and Resin store and I bought a few items I still wear today. But it is harder shopping online. The description for the Maxwell vest says it has a waxed canvas outer shell. I thought that looked and sounded cool. I like the idea of being able to sit next to a campfire and not worry about a flying ember burning a hole through my clothes (which has happened to me!) Well, the vest is nice and I will wear it, but it is not waxed canvas. The tag says “crinkle nylon”. It sure looks and feels like nylon in person. Given how much it cost, I certainly won’t be getting too close to any campfires with this one!"
"After my cheap vest wore out, I went in the market for a similar insulated vest to replace it. I looked everywhere, at a ton of different brands, styles, and so on, finally settling on the I&R Maxwell Vest. And I love my decision! Not only does it look great, but the fit and finish is excellent. The material is great, the zipper and storm flap are a feature that you don't find on a lot of vests, and it's warmth is great (and I live near Boston, MA where it gets cold!). Thank you, I&R, for making this vest. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone interested!"
"Aight, I love this thing. I got it on Tuesday and I been wearing it the last two days. The colors are great, the fit is great and the Iron & Resin guarantee can't be beat."
Forged in Ventura, CA in a mass produced, disposable world, Iron & Resin is a product of "one-off" culture. Where men still build, by their own hands, the craft they ride, be it water or land.
