It seems like a lot of us are still seeking the perfect faux fur vest, and I wanted to recommend the one that finally worked for me. It's from Garnet Hill:

The website photos make the fur look much more rate and rugged than it is in real life. The fur is actually quite glossy and nice looking, it has a nice lining, and the vest is so incredibly comfortable. I wore it out the other night and it felt like a cozy cardigan. The neckline comes up close to the neck and the fit is not too bulky. I recommend!
