Vest fans of the world: UNITE!

Looking for input on fit and thought I'd try here as it might get more play than the product thread:
I decided I "needed" an IHV-24 to use off label as a windproof layer over tee's and henley's. The summers here can be cool and even when warm there can be a chill wind. So this is for mountain walking and everyday outdoor use. Turns out it's kind of badass in it's own right.
I'm trying out an M and L and have to send one back. The L is a little long and the M a little tight over the chest and shoulders, but I've gone fit blind after trying them on too much. Which looks best?
The L:
Or the M:

M looks great on you [emoji106]
However, would you want to layer under the vest or wear the vest over a jacket?
if so then it's LSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would go with the L @neph93 … M looks a little tight imo, even for a vest
-
Personally, I would keep both
Ha. Don't think I haven't considered it. But I have an ever increasing number of mouths to feed, I just paid for xmas, and the aprons are coming.
My heart is telling me M, my head L. It should be noted that my heart is still under the impression that I'm 21 years old…

I think both look great. Can't go wrong. I guess focus on what you want to use it for. Maybe consider the possibility of gaining weight? In either case, your situation is ideal because I think both work well.

@neph93 I'd say L, so you can wear it over a flannel or other heavy shirt in the Spring and Fall - still works with a T - plus you might "expand" a bit - my weight tends to fluctuate +or - a few pounds, generally + in the winter. But with the M, if you only wear with a T you could even leave it unbuttoned.

Thank you all for the input, gentlemen. I went with the sensible option and took the L. As has been noted, the M was just a little too trim through the chest. Looked OK with just a tee but still marginal. At the end of the day, the L will get used more. I can heartily recommend this bit of kit. The type III in such a modern fabric ends up being sharp, as well as functional.

Killer!

Agreed.
Perhaps the vest is the answer to my needs…
Plus, I wear a vest over a hoodie every morning at work, so I know it would see a ton of wear.

Keep your eyes open, guys. I'll be off-loading a few vests (Medium). Been losing weight, and they just don't fit well anymore.
IHV-26 (Yes, the indigo horsehide rockstar vest)
IHV-02 (Indigo and black)Just figured I would give a heads up in the vest-lovers thread, to give the real diehards first pick.

one of my most complimented piece of clothing… no one ever believes that i sewed the patches on myself
(in case anyone is wondering most are from death hell and the grave, one is from victory cult and one is from sketchy tank)
