        @Anesthetist:

        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 🙂

                Goes for mine as well @neph93
                But I did read somewhere that is does shrink quite a bit in hot water (possibly @georgeel ?)
                I remember because that comment got me seriously concerned about shrinking and decided never to wash it if at all possible

                    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.

                          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!

                                  As a full blown junkie, I can attest to how dangerous vests can be to the budget.
