Good way to break it in @Anesthetist - these clothes are after-all, workkwear. And the flip side is @zatenm rocking it in the office! Way cool.

Great work with pics on this thread @Anesthetist @zatenm @Bluegrass .
Can anyone give me an estimate as to how much shrink there is in this vest? And is it mostly in the length or the chest as well?

Unfortunately I can't comment much as I've only given mine a soak and I don't think I've noticed much appreciable shrinkage. I think it was a lot stiffer at first which made me think it had shrunk but in hindsight it doesn't feel any snugger. I may yet give mine a hot soak with light agitation but I'm very cautious so I don't create any marbling.

I hear you on that. I see @georgeel is talking about an 1" of shrinkage on what I guess is a small/medium. I'm a little wary having chosen poorly on my 02-IND, but if I fit this based on published measurements then I'm an L for a snug fit, based on the idea that I'll never wash it. Either that or XL to be safe (and boring
) -
@neph93 - looks like there is only 1 XL left in shop - I did my part and removed the XXL from stock so you wouldn't be tempted to size up too much

Teamwork for sure!

I think the one wash on these probably does a lot to help with shrink possibilities. My old LBs shrunk a bit in the wash, but they were not washed.
Im sure the one wash also helps keep the dry crocking at bay a bit (or at least I'm hoping this is the case because it looks too good with white shirts not to pair the two!)

I haven't had any issues with my white shirts at all even before a soak.

What are white shirts?
Simply blank canvases for indigo transfer lol I got this vest to go over an "ecru" shirt with indigo striping this weekend. Hope it looks good under a grey blazer and no one notices it's a "work vest" until photos have been taken haha

My first IH Vest - pretty impressed to say the least!
I went with my standard IH size (XXL) as I planned to wear it mainly with my UHFs, but I could have easily sized down to XL, although the front length would not have been as perfect. Very happy with this!
