              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 😉

                              @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!

                                  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

                                    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.

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

                                            The vest is perfect over a tee and under a jacket. Summer ends up here about mid august… it's 12C and miserable now.... and I doubt we'll have warmer than that until June next year, so the IHV-09 will see lots of wear.
