Does the 'Green' color have any variations?

Is this waistcoat suitable for very cold weather?
While the wool blend provides warmth, this waistcoat is best suited as a layering piece. For very cold conditions, it would need to be combined with other insulating layers and an outer shell.
What are the dimensions of the pockets?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper up and down a few times. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Waistcoat feels itchy.
This can sometimes occur with wool blends. Ensure you are wearing a base layer such as a t-shirt or long-sleeved shirt underneath. The material should soften with wear and proper care.
Pockets appear misshapen.
Ensure items are not overstuffed into the pockets. Follow the care instructions to reshape the garment gently after washing or drying.
Fraying threads are visible.
Carefully snip any loose threads with sharp scissors to prevent further unraveling. Avoid pulling on threads.
