$60as of Jul 5, 2026. Check the current price at Joe's Jeans

The verdict

An affordable knit vest for women; good for layering if the shrunken fit aligns with your preference.

Fit

Shrunken vests sit closer to the body and end higher on the waist than standard vests. Sizing is tighter; consider sizing up if layering.

Quality

Knit construction is typical Joe's. Durability is standard for this price; expect some pilling with wear on a shrunken fit.

Price check

Inexpensive knit layering piece. The shrunken fit narrows its appeal, but the price is fair for what it offers.

Best for

Women who prefer fitted layering and aren't concerned about traditional vest length or coverage.

Care

Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry; knits can stretch or shrink further with machine washing.

What owners report about Joe's Jeans sweaters

There is little editorial coverage of Joe's Jeans knitwear; the substantive owner feedback sits on a rental platform, where the same fair-isle, argyle and cardigan styles carried in this range average about 4.5 of 5 stars across roughly 90 to 200 reviews each. Renters describe the merino wool-blend knits as warm and cozy for the season. The recurring caveat in the fit data: most rate the fit true to size, but on every style checked a consistent minority report the piece running big overall.

Strengths: Renters rate the patterned wool-blend knits consistently high — about 4.5 of 5 across hundreds of reviews — and describe them as warm and comfortable.
Watch out for: The one recurring flag is fit: a steady minority of reviewers on each style report the knits running big overall.
Sizing: Most fit reports say true to size, with 'runs big' the most common deviation on every style checked — if between sizes, the smaller is the safer pick.
