IHV-11 - Alpaca Lined Khaki Whipcord Deck Vest

[browniemcghee]

I think it could look awesome, @veloaudio.  I'm pretty sure there are some photos on the Freewheelers blog of those guys wearing FW's similar Aircrew vest over leather jacket.  I think they pulled it off well.  I prefer the IH vest.  I look forward to fit pics if you go for it.

@veloaudio:

can you post some pics?

(This particular Guile King is for sale here)

Thanks G. Size Large?

[Giles]

Yep….

Thanks for the pictures @Giles. I like it.

@browniemcghee, I must admit, the FW aircrew vest was the inspiration for the thought.

Look like count G-racula with the collar of the Giley King popped like that….

Anybody ever treated this vest with Otter Wax or something similar? A rather unspectacular summer plus a slightly short rear fender on the bike causes mine to get a wet backside more often than I would like it to. I am very interested in any experiences made…

Cheers,

It's been done a number of times successfully in the deck jackets….

Yep.  Deck jacket looks great with otterwax.  Check the deck jacket thread for some pics.  Someone should start an otterwax thread. Im not sure where to put it though.

Just added draw strings to my IHM-09 and my IHV-11.

For those thinking of adding a draw string here's my useful guide;
