          @Giles I'm doing some research as I'm planning to buy this or the double indigo. I've measured the two vests I own the IH way and most measurements are similar to the L in the IHV-02-IND, with the exception of the chest which is similar to the XL. My question is this, have you ever re-measured your IH vests after wear? I guess there must be some stretch horizontally across the back and chest?

            There could be, but I have not measured it…........There will likely be more stretch in the wabash than the duck.....

              Makes sense. Thanks 🙂

                Vest fans!  I need help. Either the IHV02IND or the incoming IHV02DD is going to be my first IH vest (fekk it, I may get both). Pictured here is my best fitting vest from another brand. I've measured it the IH way and I get a P2P of 54,2cm, a shoulder of 37.6 and an arm opening 27.5. These measurements put the vest around or inbetween L and XL in the IHV02IND (the IH vest will be shorter than this in front and back which is a good thing).

                I'm wearing an IH medium tee in the pic (my normal size in IH tees because I like them snug) and I take an XL in most IH shirts.

                Based on this info should I take an L or an XL? Any and all help/advice appreciated!

                        Because I'm enquiring about the IHV-02-IND on the appropriate thread, and those measurements are published. Also I doubt the IHV-02-DD will be much different. Don't worry Finskster I'm all about the exactness [emoji1][emoji106]

                              Bought this at FnC a few weeks ago. Have the black wabash and been looking to get this one for ages, such a beautiful fabric.

                              I checked out the RMC one last month and IMO the IH one is far superior. I am typically an XL in IH stuff, XXL in this for a roomy fit….

                                    Oh sweet, sweet day. After one thing and another (not least the Norwegian postal service fekking up) my IHV-02-IND arrived today. And it's a thing of beauty. Pics later (when the wife goes out  😎 )

                                    For now I'd like to say thanks to @Giles for picking the right size for the kind of fit I wanted. Good work, Mr Padmore, good work.

                                        Not at all. The post had it out for delivery on weds last week and cocked it up so I didn't get my hands on it before today. Summer interns for you.

                                          The by-now-obligatory shite iPhone pic from the bogs at work (notice the pimping on the phone).

                                          Couldn't be any smaller and I'm nervous of shrinkage, but this is definitely the fit I wanted. I sacrificed length for a well-fitted chest and got lucky on there too. Hint of belt buckle at the front and just meets/covers the belt at the back on my 666D and BB-SBG. Going to have to steer clear of 777's in the future though.

                                          Beautiful fabric and of course well-made, but also surprisingly delicate. I'm very pleased.

                                            I wouldn't want it any longer, nice for the buckle to show and and you get to sit down without bending much of the bottom part when bottomed up.
                                            You could add an inch or 2 in theory but I think yours is how it is supposed to fit -  perfect in my book [emoji106][emoji106]
