IH-9526V - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Type III Vest - Superblack

[davito]

Hi Gratefulmelon nice thinking about this vest…you will not regret...I wear mine in S my usual size for IH shirts and tees also non-IH-brands...I think the cut is a bit fuller in the chest area and I could have sized even down to an XS for only wearing it with a tee under it. But I am quite happy now after it settled a little bit and wearing it with a nice heavy chambray or flannel under it. And it will even settle more...its really an armor vest

Thanks for the sizing review Davito, that really helps a lot.

Any chance this vest will be done with a small cuff/band type collar or no collar version?

[MikeC]

Just a guess but probably not. Go check out the IHV-04, it is a vest with no collar.

[CLJ]

Checked out all the vests, but THIS is the one. Thanks for the recommendation, it was just a thought.

it might be possible to modify it, a talk to a tailor would be a option…

Does this come with the insanely thick leather patch like the IH-9526J?

Unfortunately no it does not. Prob a good thing though since it is mostly used for layering.

hi guys, just curious, how long normally does it take to restock? or will it be restocked once this batch gets sold? i am heavily considering getting an XS in this but i'm afraid when I can afford it it'll be gone and i'll never be able to get one.

If Haraki has product in Japan we back fill when we can, we do try and keep some of everything extant in stock all the time.  Product like the vests and the jackets are only made every so often, so there are often gaps in our stock.

[supersalami]

so would there be a high chance this would get restocked in lets say 2 months time if it gets sold out? or is there really no way of estimating this.

[Giles]

There is a reasonable to good chance, but no real way of being sure….

I would say, don't worry salami. You will get your chance haha.

Hey Salami, go with a Small. The extra small is gonna be tiny. That's saying something coming from me. I wear an XS in Iron Heart shirts but I think the type III cut is gonna be too short on you in that size. I'm 5'10" 135 if that helps you at all. My small fits a little airy with just a t-shirt (can't pull off that look anyway) but is perfect with a flannel or a hoody. I still think it could be an inch longer though. There's a fit pic on page 14 of this thread.

I'm an XS with IH too but I'm only 5"3.. Yeah I saw yours, well I still feel like I'd be better off with a small size though. Thanks for the input, if it doesn't fit.. i guess I'll just return it and change it for an S

[Licorice Noose]

Cool. just thought i'd give you a heads up.

Just pulled the trigger on one of these - perfect for a bank-holiday weekend. I had to read the entire thread twice to choose a size though; I went for M in the end and am keeping my fingers crossed 'till it arrives! I'm 6' and 40" chest but looking to just wear it over a t-shirt or button down and the measurements on the site for the M looked pretty close to my size L IH526J, which is a little on the large side. I shouldn't have done it but I guess that's just what credit cards are for … right?

[rocket]

right  ;), think the size will be fine…

[Goldtop]

Cheers Rocket, I have to say that this is the second time your posts have inspired my purchases around here. You've got a great look going on.

[Goldtop]

Just arrived. Absolutely perfect!
