        after reading the thread twice, i reckon i'd get a medium since my chest measures 40" and well if it turns out too big, i'd return it to G for a small. 😉

        now i just can't wait for the parcel to arrive from the castle. its got my IHM-02 and this IH-9526V in it.  😘 😘 😘

              Volcano, do you reckon you've got enough room to layer a hoodie underneath that vest?

                    Volcano, do you reckon you've got enough room to layer a hoodie underneath that vest?

                    a hoody? hmm i reckon i could but its gonna be pretty snug fit. at the moment i wear it with my medium IHSH-33 and a hanes beefy tee under it. after all these, there's still space for comfort and jumping around. so it depends on your hoodie. if its bloody damn thick like 2-3 fingers, i can still fit in. but anything thicker than that, i'll probably suffocate myself. 😉

                    however because my waist is 33" the last bottom button have to be unbuttoned whenever i wanna side down and lay back. else the stiff vest would go up and make me look like im shrinking inside the vest. 😉

                    btw, i wear a medium in all my IH clothes. and here's my measurement to help.

                    shoulders - 17.4"
                    chest - 40 to 40-5" there about
                    waist - 33"
                    height - 174 cm or 5.7 ft
                    weight - 82kg (yes i know, im fat! ;D)

                    hope this helps. 🙂

                              again for fitting, imo only go down one if you wanna wear it exclusive open with only a tee under. If you want to be able to button it up and or layer it and stay comfy, go for your normal size...

                                Thanks for the advice…I just think a vest looks better when it fits snug and I think I can do M, at least I can in Levi's vests.

                                  tbh i think i wouldn´t cop a medium if i was you…L is totally the way to go with imo. you still can wear it with just a t or layer with a t/shirt or hoodie combo...i think i´d choose the "bigger" size to make it more versatile instead of just being able to wear it with a t alone!

                                    problem is that if you go down, you won't be able to layer at all. For example I could prob get into a Small, but it would be really tight and I wouldn't be able to button it… But as always, it for sure depends on your own build... safe way = your normal size

                                        backed! thats what i found out after getting my hands on this. i had a chance to try both small and medium but sadly. small was too snug when worn with a just a tee. btw im a medium in all my IH shirts and my measurements are above. 🙂

                                            commercial brands like levis have got what i call vanity sizing. they write tagged 32 but they measure 34. makes you feel slim. not saying you're fat but if you wear a M for levis, it might be a L for IH. (harsh truth hurts) 🙂

                                            anyway go with your usual sizing mate. like if you're a L for all your shirts, get L. you will get a wider field of play with the vest than to downsize. you can wear with a hoodie, shirt or just a tee. 🙂
