You are correct: a UK 12 is a US 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vest-shopping#post-2278947 Sat, 27 Aug 2022 00:59:14 +0000 Anonymous 2278947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardiff girl and Zaeobi, is it correct that a US8 is a UK12 for sizing? I measure US4 in chest, US6 for waist and US6 for hips. So I thought maybe I should order a US8. Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vest-shopping#post-2278867 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 17:34:31 +0000 Cardiff girl 2278867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to chime in but Zaeobi got there before me!Joules is &nbsp;a nice ,mid range high street uk brand.I don’t have many things from them but my daughter has two raincoats and a rucksack all have performed well and been true to size.l have a sweater and three blazers and again they have lasted well. </p> <p>My favourite vest ,or gilet as it’s called here ,is from Barbour.It cost me £70 sol think that’s in your price range?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vest-shopping#post-2278861 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 17:10:58 +0000 Janet 2278861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love my Fjallraven vest, and immediately got rid of my thicker, puffier vests once I got it. Thin, lightweight, but rugged and warm enough to span lots of uses/temps. </p> <p>They’re pricey at full retail, but I’ve seen them on sale, and secondhand on Poshmark and eBay. I find them TTS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vest-shopping#post-2278835 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 14:35:05 +0000 Anonymous 2278835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Zaeobi, Stag, cat2 and Angie!

But then again, teenagers aren't exactly famous for putting practicality over looks, so it's entirely possible those girls wore Joules for their dirty work when other clothing would have been more practical.</p> <p>I don't know for sure, I didn't hang out with them in their stables in the wee hours of the mornings - just heard them discussing such things whilst at school </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vest-shopping#post-2278783 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 07:23:31 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2278783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaoebi, mucking out the stables? Were they worn for grubby work? It looks cute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vest-shopping#post-2278781 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 06:26:32 +0000 Zaeobi 2278781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joules is a UK brand - it generally runs a bit on the small side &amp; is known for its preppy cool colours with ditsy florals (so I don't own any of their pieces, as you can imagine lol - it was popular with the girls at school who owned horses etc, so I imagine it should be pretty practical for mucking out the stables at 5am) That sorta thing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vest-shopping#post-2278774 Fri, 26 Aug 2022 02:42:25 +0000 Anonymous 2278774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, All!
