      I have an XL incoming which I hope will work over my IH hoodie and a cafe racer style jacket I'm ashamed to own 😃 If it doesn't work I'll let you know.

        Doesn't fit how? Big or small? Either way I'll drop you a line about the 21 if it fails to please.

            Has anyone gotten any shrinkage on this? I need an XL but am considering XXL since it is raw. I know the red lining might prevent it but wondering if a hot soak/dryer would get me close to where I need to be.

              I don't think I'll be soaking mine, I think I'll wear it from raw and see what happens. But I suspect that if you force shrinkage you may end up with the vest turning up at the bottom because the lining will shrink at a different ratio.

              On the other hand it is an absolute tank of a vest. Feels like it could turn bullets.

                  That's what I figured. Luckily, it sounds like I will be getting an XL after all!  😉

                      Just bought one. Hopefully XXL fits as it was the only size left that was close for me lol. Stoked on the price though!

                        Congratulations. It's a great vest. If it helps, I'm an XL in most IH shirts and got an XL in this. It goes great over my OD Type III, my IHJ-37, and an IH hoodie. I can also wear it over a tee and a UHF. I'm actually tempted to get the M and wear it over just t-shirts. It's an amazing bit of clothing.

                                    Going to have to return this. Does not fit my body well. Too stiff, and lumpy in weird places. Going to settle on the 526SV and hope it works out better.

                                      Really bummed this didn't fit right. Just got my 526SV and it's a lot better as far as the way my body fits the vest.

                                        Sucks when that happens. But not every piece is right for every person. I hate that I can't wear the 634 cut.

                                        It's a challenging vest as well. That 18oz is unsanforised and stiff as a board. Can I ask, were you using it over leathers?

                                          No, the only size left was XXL so I was going to wear it over flannel, but the arm holes were too small for that, and the area in the back of the neck was bunching up. And it buttoned up, but would unsnap whenever I sat down.

                                            Understood… just a bad fit. Glad it worked out with the other vest though.
