Vest fans of the world: UNITE!

This is my first vest of the modern era (I used to wear them way back when along with Yorkshire made clogs, and a mohawk, but that's another story). Handmade by Jens Olav Dankertsen, founder of Livid Jeans, in his old workshop in Trondheim, Norway. This was back when Livid was just starting out a few years ago.
It's made of 13oz Kurabo sulphur dyed selvedge denim with a Nihon Menpu hickory lining, brass donuts buttons and is completely unbranded. Washed once, seen quite a bit of wear. It's a little rough around the edges (the button holes are a mess and some of the sewing is a little tatty) but I love it. Jens Olav was just starting out and was self taught. I have a duck vest made by him a couple of years later that is a similar design but with a much cleaner finish. That this is a little ragged is all part of it's charm. The brass donut buttons are my favourite thing about it. Sadly my skills with a camera are poor so I haven't really been able to take macro shots that do them justice…

I roam solo sadly @neph93 . But I find it fun to hunt for places with good views where I can rest my phone upright for 10 seconds and snap a pic. Or sometimes I just take the easy road and rest it against my Thermos.
Great thread indeed!

@tmg:
I need to add a pic with the Hunters vest at some point as well
Do so, please. I'm still trying to find a way of wearing mine that I'm satisfied with.
I'd love to see more fit pics of the IHV-02 as well. It looks like it was made for you. I re-purchased the vest in an XL recently and while I love the vest I'm a still little unsure about the fit. The length on the L bothered me as I felt it was too short. The XL is maybe too long and a little loose now I've dropped 10kg. If I ever spend time in Gosport I'm going to go through their entire stock finding the perfect fit I think…

OMG you guys are killing me! So much vest awesomeness here!
You've got some great vests yourself, man. Get amongst it!
Also @den1mhead I was just looking at your initial pics. If you have any fit pics with the Pike Brothers vest I'd love to see them. That looks really nice…

Brilliant @den1mhead . Thanks very much. Pic two done up, tucked in is a doozy. Lovely vest.

@neph93 the images are from RAWscore - the hit or miss fit and combo space.

Yeah I remember. I think I advocated the tucked in buttoned down look then. Hope I'm consistent [emoji1]
