Enjoy ya addiction!

[Bluegrass]

Just ordered from SelfEdge - always confused on measurements, G's vs. Kiya.  Is a 46 = XXXL?

[Bluegrass]

Never mind found this in the Rider's jacket thread… quoting G: "Yes it is.  44 XXl, 46 XXXL."  In any case, should be here tomorrow, or Friday.  Can't wait.

Got it today - very nice piece - fit is perfect for me, 46-XXXL - my first IH "top".

Pros:  relatively light weight, comfortable out of the box, "fitted" but not tight, unique styling vs. truckers.  Length is good too, comes halfway over the buckle in front, wearing 634s. I'll wear this all spring, summer, fall with t-shirts, to ride my motorcycle, and just jack around.  I love vests - my first in denim - impressed.  Outer pockets are functional, nice styling details - incl. zipper is convenient - like it, it's different. Not sure I would have jumped right on this if not the unique look.

Cons:  Like the zipper,but not a fan of "left-handed" - but i can live with it - never had a lefty zipper before, feels odd. The chest pockets are pretty small and a bit hard to get in and out of - don't see myself using these much - not very functional.  I wouldn't mind having an inner pocket, even a small one.

Overall love it.  Now I'm wanting a 22oz super-black vest.  Nice to know I can wear IH XXXL - lots of options to explore  :).

I am going to try and figure out how to post pics.  I've got some boots on the way too…

Jordan23, that looks like a perfect fit, and goes great with the Wabash. TFH?

Bluegrass, congrats.  It sounds like you may have just opened Pandora's box.  IH is very kind to the big guys.  It's been a good week for you.  First the Cardinals, now IHV-07 awesomeness.

[Bluegrass]

Oh Hell yeah… Go Cards!

LOVE this jacket - great fit on you rocket - great look overall. Something "old-timey" about this vest I just love.

[Finn666]

[theorocks]

[Bluegrass]

Love this vest…

…except the "Lefty" zipper   Perfect vest weather today, 46F and sunny.

[rocket]

looks really great on you and I agree the left hand zipper is irritating at first, but you will get used to it…

I agree that I did not really care for this vest at first but these last few pics may have sealed the deal for me

Looks great, Bluegrass. Do you mind me asking how tall you are? This piece keeps nagging at the back of my mind

I am 6'7" 225 pounds - tag size 38 in IH jeans - and my vest is an XXXL (46).  It is fitted but not "tight" at all.  Perfect sizing to wear over a flannel shirt or t-shirt.  I also own the IH-9526V super-black vest and that is cut just a bit bigger to wear over a hoodie or other jacket.  I've been wearing the 17oz almost every day since I got it - it's awesome.  Next week is KY Derby week here, and I'll probably wear this vest to the track over a patterned dress shirt.  It's a really versatile piece.

Thanks man. We're built very similarly it seems (6'8"/240ish). Your pics swayed me over the edge on this one
