      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.

        In this perspective (wearing M) it looks like keeping the "L".
        But what about a T pic neph?

          @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.

              Ah, yes… had my black wabash on yesterday, love it. That shirt/jacket/vest combo you're rocking is genius.

                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.

                          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.

                              In search of:
                              IHV-04, med.
                              IHSH-185, large
                              IHSH-186, large (khaki, and green)

                                      @neph93 the vest looks horrible on you  ::)

                                      I can help you out by buying it from you or just on a loaner basis I'll cover the shipping 😃

                                      Any guesstimate @Giles when the herrigboner vests are going to be released for the rest of us?  I want to pair this with some double-ducks for a smart rugged look.

                                      I really should have went higher  😢

                                      head high, middle finger higher

                                        I have not initiated production run yet, so a good 3-4 months….

                                          Still undecided about the pike brothers vest. I like the fabric and the construction, but I wish it was cut like an IH vest.
