      G,
      is it the same melton wool used on the black one IHW-06?

          g, this fabric is insane! really stocked when i got my IHW-06 few days ago!
          it is so soft so…putain my english!
          really different for ex. at the IHW-01. absolutely not the same melton.
          only went to say how much this fabric is beautiful!

                  Aaaaand ordered.  I followed G's lead and went up one from my normal IH size.  Want to be able to wear this comfortably over my heavier IH shirts.

                      Wearing mine right now and knew that this is an absolutely must have if you into vests. The wool, the chambray lining and overall finish is out of this world. Thx for doing this great stuff Big G and H-san, respect.

                      I went with my usual small, pics later.

                      Edit: the vest and me in the shop, wearing a Flanell from Rising Sun in a small as well

                      I am a slim little guy, 62kg, 173cm.

                      Cheers,
                      David

                        ok friends and here maybe something a lot are waiting for:

                        72 medium under the IHV-05 small  ???  🙂 😘
                        again I am pretty skinny so this might not work for everyone

                        it works nicely and fits me the way I love it.

                        guys and gals I am stoked about this vest and in person it is even more beautiful than on pics. Thanks again IronHeart

                        Cheers,
                        David

                              Need some sizing advice in this, what size should I go for being a 40" chest?

                                    I sized up from my normal IH shirt size and could not be more thrilled.  This thing is just amazing in every way. Never been a vest guy, but I don't think I'll take this off all winter.  Will try to snap some pics when I have a minute.

                                      I think G is 42" and his normal IH size is L.  He took an XL (with 44" pit to pit) in this.
