IHV-02-BLK - 12oz Wabash/Duck Work Vest - Black/Black

Looking forward to fit pics Bluegrass .

First impression, I really like it, but still not sure how/when to wear it. Fit is a little bit funky - seems quite a bit roomier than my normal XXXL but I couldn't really size down imo due to the length - I have a pretty long torso anyway. I cinched it in the back and I think that works pretty well. I love the material - it feels more broken-in than a lot of IH heavy gear. Very solid/substantial but still quite pliable.
Here are a couple of pics wearing it over a thin t-shirt, it might work/look better with a beefier cotton t-shirt. You can see how much I had to cinch it in the back. I actually could pull it even tighter.
And here it is with a heavy flannel… I tried buttoning it with the flannel and it didn't look good - almost seems like you need to tuck your under-shirt in when you button it? I might try it with my Johnny Cash or chambray work shirt. First world problems.
I'd like to see some more pics of how other folks use this vest.

I really like the look of it over the tee and it doesn't look bad with the flannel either IMO. When the front of my shirt ends just past the belt line I'll button up. If there is too much front and tail I leave it open. I imagine it would look cool with a chambray (white, blue, red) or a lighter colored flannel. For inspiration check out the other vest threads, I know there are some good looks there!

Looks great to me @bluegrass. I'm having the same conundrum with this one! Really want it but not sure how I would wear it. Your pics may have just tipped me closer to the edge though! Ps I have seen a few shots of non denim vests being worn with the 13 and the combo of the wabash and the chambray looks pretty sweet!

Looks great. Ive been wearing mine a lot this winter. Such a nice piece to have in the mix…
Glad to hear you are wearing it! Would like to see some pics when it starts to show some evo.

Hello all , need your input here lads and lassies . Have this bad boy in L and feel like it may be a tad short . Of course my other vests are all far longer , as you can see in the other photo . So wondering if I size up to an XL (which is not that much longer really ) if that will cure my ailment - fashionably speaking .
Thanks,gracias,merci,arigato

Yours looks like a skirt compared to mine! IMO it seems like sizing up more the vest would be way too big - you'd be swimming in it… I think it looks good - I like that length better than your other vest personally. It comes right to the top of your britches and still shows off your nice belt buckle.

I agree with @Bluegrass!

Looks like a perfect fit to me. I'd say you're just used to the other verst , which looks far too long.I've got the L too and have the same fit, 'cept I'm a bit wider….

Thanks chaps ! Like a few of you mentioned , I'm likely used to the other length of vest - good point the XL may be over size for me !
Cheers again all

Looks like it should be. A vest shouldn't cover the belt ideally. So, the look and fit are great. I'm gonna get mine after the New Year (already paid) and share the pics then.

Can't wait to get this.
