IH-9526V - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Type III Vest - Superblack

[Appfaff]

@Bluegrass a soak definitely brought the black coloring back out in it once all the dust and junk got cleaned off - the collar was a bit faded anyways before the soak, so I figured it would stay as such once it dried. Not an issue for me though, im sure it's just from abrasion from being folded back and running on the inside of jackets and stuff.

Super nice super black. I barely feel badass enough to wear my riders jacket much less this vest but it does look cool.

@Anesthetist it brings out the inner bad-ass in all of us!

Just looking, is it right that the XL and XXL are the same P2P on the chart? 23.2"? If so, cool. If not, glad I could help.

When I first saw this vest, I figured it was a "novelty" item, only be be truly utilitarian for motorcyclists. After seeing my brother (formulapfaff) wear his for 2+ years, I realized how many configurations you can make with the 9526V.

I'm continually surprised about how truly utilitarian this beat is for me, and I enjoy wearing it everytime I put it on. Weather it's over an heavy shirt with jeans or paired with trainers at work, the best just seems to always "work" for me.

Great choice! I wore mine today. Bumped into a mate who wanted to try it on…."bloody hell, it's like armour!" Was his response

Sorry for spamming this thread so much today, but had some good lighting and a break at work so I took some detail shots of the vest.

I think I'm going to wear mine tomorrow as well, because of all this talk about how great it is. A really fantastic piece, sometimes I wish I had two - one covered in patches and a plain one.

I also wish I had two- a medium and a large.  Have just washed mine (large) to see if there's any shrinkage to be had.

[Appfaff]

I've gotten some shrink out of SuperBlack denim in the past if washed and machine dried.

The 9526V is pretty slim on me though, so I just soak and hang dry and havnt had much of any shrink.
