          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.

                                          Late update on the beach cloth fabric, gents…..

                                          I bought an IHW-08, size Medium and it came AT LEAST a size too big for my liking. At the same time, I felt the material was too stiff and rigid, so I thought a wash/dry would be fine..... BOY WAS I WRONG! It shrank at least 2 sizes; from too big, BEYOND "just right", to the point of "That is right at the cusp of fitted and too small". Seriously, the sleeves shrank about 2.5" in length, and the body did the same. I think I'll still wear it with my more slim fitting jeans... Should look fine in that case. But yeah, in hindsight, I would only dry clean this fabric.

                                          In search of:
                                          IHV-04, med.
                                          IHSH-185, large
                                          IHSH-186, large (khaki, and green)

                                            Good Intel and not too late, thank you. What kind of a wash did you give it, and did the fabric warp? Btw, I guess this was the coat featured in WAYWT recently? It looked great [emoji1434]
