IHV-05 - Chambray Lined Melton Wool Work Vest

[seanocono]

V, I think it looks great with the flannel. I  would rather have it be a tad big, than a bit small. I would also typically wear it to layer over a flannel, or a hoodie, for some extra warmth. If that was your intention as well, then I think you chose wisely, sir.

Hi veloaudio congrats on your catch, nice vest looks good. If you layer it Xl looks fine otherwise go tts. Me for example sticked with my usual  small and layer without problem, but only because I am real skinny. My arm/side parts look the same when only wearing it with a tee. I prefer wearing it with a flanell.
Take care

I have a similar fit in my XL.  Probably could have gone with an L, but seanocono said the same thing I would, which is I would rather have it a tad big.  IMO it looks great with the flannel but too big with just a t shirt.  It also looks rather big from the side.  However, this thing starts out really stiff, and I am guessing that after a year or two, it will drape differently.

Thanks guys. I've decided to keep the XL. I could get away with the Large but it would limit my shirt options.  I was not planning to wear this vest with just a t-shirt and it looks great over my FH flannel and my 21 and 35

Great looks fellas.  Just curious - can you jam your cell phone in the breast pocket and still snap the snap..?

[veloaudio]

^ iPhone is too tall to snap the pocket

[Giles]

I just checked too.  Won't snap shut…..

[davito]

^yup won't snap depending on the cell if you have one of those mini old school ones it will maybe work. I keep mine in the hand pockets and carrying a pen and sometimes a spyderco or douk douk knife in the chest pocket. The vest is really one of my fav IH pieces I have in my collection.

[ConradBain]

Werd up.  Thanks everyone.

I'm really thinking about picking this up, but I wanted to wait to see more of the Fall stuff. Will these be rerun or should I nab now?

[Giles]

No rerun….

[Anesthetist]

Ordered! I'm a medium in shirts, so I ordered a large. Hoping the fit is spot on.

[emceeQ]

Snapped a few quick pics of this on my way out the door at the request of grandmasterben…

[grandmasterben]

That looks perfect mike, thank you again! Ordered

[Anesthetist]

I just got mine as well. How do you like the vest Ben? Mine fits about perfectly.

[grandmasterben]

I wish mine fit a little smaller as I'm only wanting to wear it over tees, so on the sale board it goes

[veloaudio]

Sorry it didn't work out Ben.

[Anesthetist]

It's still 90° outside, but I had to try this thing out today at least indoors. When I saw this I knew I had to have it.

[Haddtoo 555]

Looks great….especially over the 80...what size?

[Anesthetist]

Large vest over a medium 80. Fits trim but not snug which is what I was really hoping for.
