      Will they be rerun, this year or next year?

      I would think not this year.  Possibly next year….Depends how they sold in Japan....

        I'm an L in the T's as I like them fitted, but XL or XXL in shirts…...did wonder if the L might fit but suspect not unfortunately. It's not as if I need another vest, since the Beach Vest arrived today (XL) and I'm very pleased with it too, but your pics of this vest really surprised me with how good it looked.

              Yeah I think you're right that XL is for you. I'm a XL in shirts and I actually manage M's in tee's. I like vests snug so I ordered L as that's what my other vests are, and some measurements from Nippon suggested it would work. When it got to Gosport and G measured it for me it came up with a 49/50cm chest and that scared the crap out of me. The XL has a 52cm and it's great for me. I will say this though I'm pretty sure these will stretch with wear.

              Ironically, I saw the beach vest thread today. I wasn't fussed when they came out. Now I want one of those too..  😠 Look forward to seeing some pic's.

                  It still isn't for me, but this combo works well IMO. Nicely done sir.

                        Cheers guys. I'm enjoying it more with each wear.

                        @Anesthetist It's not for everyone I agree. I'd be interested to know the provenance of the design. I'm guessing it might be styled after something more Japanese, rather than in the fashion of western workwear. @Giles do you know?

                            That makes sense…

                            I can see why you hesitated as it's a bit different. Reminds me a bit of some of the clothing in that late 60's TV show The Prisoner. Either way the combination of material and design works for me. It's good to have something a bit different in the wardrobe.

                                      Had mine on today with 714's and an IH tee. My wife refused to humor my request for a picture [emoji17]. So here's a Japanese badass rocking it:
