      @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.

                      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.

                          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  😢

                                    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.

                                        Looks very smart. I like the length and silhouette.

                                          Thanks. The silhouette is good from the front, but it bulges out when you look at it from the side. It doesn't have any type of cinch to adjust the waist and it is slightly too big for me. I'm thinking about asking my tailor if she can add a cinch to it like on the IH vests. Any ideas where I could buy one?
