    Does anyone know how to select a different color? I was all ready to buy a heather grey premium, but couldn't find a spot to input my color selection.

    Got mine. WAY too big! (Aka, they run large.) Cheap polyester, made in China crap. Don't waste your money.

    The last two pipe bands I've been in have got our vests from Higgins.

    They're very well made, of nice barathea.

    Pipe bands like them for two reasons

    1) they're available in a wide range of sizes and three different lengths (it's very common to see pipers in vests that are too short or too long, and with Higgins you can get them just right)

    2) they have the same barathea for the back. (Pipe band vests get a lot of wear and sun and sweat and the silk-like backs of most vests fade and stain and look terrible after a few years. So a band with vests which started out having the same colour silk on the back will end up with the backs being all sorts of different colours, depending on the ages of the various vests. The Higgins vests, with the same barathea front and rear, look like new forever and always match.)
