Default And The "Guess The Vest" Contest Winner Is..."

A few days ago, we announced a fun little giveaway based on readers trying to guess exactly how many pockets I have among all of my beloved SCOTTeVEST clothes. We got about 80 guesses, and some were VERY close, but there was only one that was closer than all the others.



In the end, it was MBaas who came the closest with his estimate of 182 pockets. For his efforts, MBaas will be receiving a brand new SCOTTeVEST Classic Vest in the size and color of his choosing!

Oh, and what was the correct answer? Here's the official tally:



Thanks to everybody who participated in this giveaway and a special thanks to SCOTTeVEST for its sponsorship!

From the contest rules:

• The winning entry will be the one that comes closest to the total number of pockets I have among all of my SCOTTeVEST items WITHOUT GOING OVER the actual number.

And also from the rules:

• Whining IS permitted for this giveaway, but all whining must be submitted to me in writing prior to the launch of this contest.

I hope this isn't considered whining, but I'd venture that the windshirt actually has seven pockets:

1) obvious pocket #1
2) obvious pocket #2
3) obvious pocket #3
4) right zipper closed, left one open, leaving a largish pocket on the left side
5) left zipper closed, right one open, leaving a largish pocket on the right side
6) both zippers open, creating one big external pocket
7) the pocket inside created by the fabric used for the other pockets
