What's done cannot be undone.

Not ALWAYS true….. I had to undo what was done to my bathtub!

@DrBabyhorse:

^sweet! When you post more pics could you also mention what size you got and what size you take in IH shirts?

Sorry, didnt see your post. I have a 40" chest so I am usually a medium in shirts and large in jackets which is the same for this vest. It will work with a tee cinched and with an UHF with the cinch out. Very versatile fit.

@Qinhan:

@Giles Can we see some fit pics of you wearing the vest without anything underneath?  Maybe while also wearing a hardhat and singing "YMCA"?

Close enough?

[Giles]

Ouch….

[DrBabyhorse]

So… Much... Ouch...

That would be the "M" in "YMCA", I guess.

In my (rather pathetic) defence, I think that was a long time ago.  I'm wearing a Breitling…....

I ordered the L size, but I need to size down to a medium. A bit too roomy for me.  I usually roll with Giles on fit, but not this time. This  style vest needs a more snug fit IMO.

[Giles]

Damn, did I advise you go with L, or did you advise yourself?

I'm a medium in shirts and went with a large and it fits me well. Is yours too big in the chest or waist? I just hot soaked mine and maybe it shrank enough to make a large work for you. I'll go get measurements…

[Anesthetist]

Ok so this is only my vest but the chest shrank to 20" even, the arm hole 11", and the opening to 20.5". Keep in mind I didn't measure prior. I will have to say that this fabric loves water. It has lost a lot of it's sheen and has picked up a lot of bruising/ character. It has become one stiff SOB as well! What about yours @UnTucked?

[jadechacko]

Hmmmm…...No.  G.  I advised myself.  I only meant that I go with the size you usually wear as stated in the descriptions.  The waist seemed way too big and a little long as well.  But there is no way I wear a medium shirt as it woild be too small.  I wear a L or XL in shirts with a preferred looser fit.  Now I don't know what to do.    I definately don't feel like shelling out $30 for return shipping if the medium is too small.  [url=http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1]@Giles is a medium too small for you if you take into account any shrinkage?

[Giles]

Let me try tomorrow…..

I feel your sizing pain. Always a bummer when it doesn't work out. I'm afraid your predicament gives me hope, I'm a straight up XL in shirts and have an L incoming. Fingers crossed.

I reckon (hope) sizing down with vests is the way forward. Good luck!
