Agreed. Great fit. Congrats.  I still don't know if I would be a large or XL in this. Did you guys go with your usual IH shirt size? I'm new to sizing vests. Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply… I went usual shirt size with mine (XL) and I'm pleased. I can wear it over tee's or a shirt and a tee. I would've got an L on fine over just a tee for a snug fit, but it probably would have emphasised my January beer belly too much

This is no longer on the site. Not in "extinct" section either

[Giles]

It's in the IH half life.  We may get a return, when that happens we just hide it until we are certain that we will not get one returned….

I need this in XL!

Enjoy ya addiction!

@Anesthetist @tmg have either of you washed yours? If so how, and was there any shrinkage? Mine is probably in need of a clean but I'm unsure how to proceed. The washing label says no machine wash…

Sorry to say that I haven't. Dry cleaning might be the best option unless it's truly grimy. If you have to wash it, I would definitely recommend a cold water hand wash and then lay it flat and form it before it dries. Wool can do funny things when washed in a machine including shrink insane amounts. The fact that the material is also cotton only makes things even more complicated!

[tmg]

Haven't washed mine either, and agree with all the above - I'd probably try a dry cleaner first rather than risk it shrinking/skewing in water

[neph93]

Thank you gentleman, I suspected as much. I'm actually interested in a bit of shrinkage, but not enough to risk ruining it. And I also have the feeling that the wool/cotton blend might well do some odd things under temperature.

[neph93]

Such a good vest I'm tempted to buy another when the re-up comes.

[Anesthetist]

Looks great neph. I wish it were cool enough here to break mine out!
