IHV-23 - Super Heavy Knitted Cotton Vest

[Giles]

And I still have an L here people…..

Cheers guys. I'm enjoying it more with each wear.

@Anesthetist It's not for everyone I agree. I'd be interested to know the provenance of the design. I'm guessing it might be styled after something more Japanese, rather than in the fashion of western workwear. @Giles do you know?

Pretty Japanese Bikerish..I did not rate it at all until I saw Jiro in one, then I really wished I have ordered them…

That makes sense…

I can see why you hesitated as it's a bit different. Reminds me a bit of some of the clothing in that late 60's TV show The Prisoner. Either way the combination of material and design works for me. It's good to have something a bit different in the wardrobe.

Saw the L available in Specials and knew I had to give this bad boy some love.

Someone needs to get the L on special. This is too good not to have more people posting pics with!

Had mine on today with 714's and an IH tee. My wife refused to humor my request for a picture [emoji17]. So here's a Japanese badass rocking it:

G will you stock these next year? Need an XL

[Giles]

I know of no plans to rerelease…...Though there are 1 or 2 left in Japan.  What size are you after?

I still think that these are great…

[neph93]

Wear this often… Need to take more pics...

I sometimes regret not buying the one on clearance. Then I look at my vest rack and know everything is going to be alright.

Btw, looks good Neph [emoji106]

Thanks, @Anesthetist I enjoy it a lot. The fabric and design work well together and despite seeming a little óutre by western standards. it doesn't look that way when worn imo. The one and only negative is the hem which turns up after a couple of wears and looks untidy. A quick iron and it's good though.

I have no idea who bought the L that G brought over initially for me. They've got a fairly unique product, at least on this side of the world.

Never too late to answer…
This vest/fabric is lovely + IH snaps buttons. Pattern is perfect! Hope Haraki-san will make more in maybe different color or style️
