      Well the XL fits much better than XXL, less fabric around the waist and just the right length. Time to initiate a return…

      Thanks for all the advice everyone!

      Excellent work! Now for some fit pics 😉

        Well @neph93 , a little delayed but here you go…

        I wore the vest along with the IHSH-21-blk and IH-816-BW at an event at a friend's bar - a reincarnation of a 1920s speakeasy. The ensemble fit in well with the vibe and garnered many compliments.

              Excellent work, mate! Looks very sharp indeed. I don't wear my vests with shirts, but that pic makes me think I need to up my chambray game.

              On another note I've lost about 12kg over the last year and both my IHV-02BLK and IND (which were already a bit long) started to be a bit wide in the body. It was at the point where I was considering selling both and sizing down which I didn't fancy. So I nuked them both with a 90C wash on full spin (after an initial soak to deter marbling). It worked amazingly well. Lost <1" in length and <.5" in the body. They fit much better now and the vests suffered no detrimental effects other than the IND losing some of it's indigo and both vests developing some mad roping at the hem and arm holes, which looks badass.

                  I'm going for that retro Village People look 🤠

                  We maybe seperated by a common language here but I generally only wear tee's or henley's under my vests as opposed to shirts with collars and buttons [emoji28]

                    I figured it was something like that!!! I hadn't seen any bare-chested shots on the IHF  🙂

                      Cheers vest fans

                      Size XL hits just at my belt buckle on some 634S. Back rests just above the waist, but it a lot of shirt showing through.

                      Measures:
                      size XL
                      Shoulders: 16
                      P2P: 22
                      Waist: 21.25
                      Length Front (top of shoulder to peak): 25
                      Length back (top of shoulder to base): 23.75

                      Cheers,

                      Adam

                        Mine is shorter in torso (on me) than yours - I think yours looks great.

                            Loving your new style of fit pics @Appfaff … reminds me of Ray Kalvin (the guy who created Ted Baker) He always hides his face in photos.

                            Vest looks great!

                                    You might have just convinced me to give this a try in XL.

                                        ^ beautiful. Love the hardware on the wabash gear and wish it would be used more often on jackets (although the 101J-blk is a great start).

                                          Yeah, I've asked before in the "Random Questions" thread why the vests use brown hardware, and their corresponding pants use silver… No answer. Well, rather the answer was "I don't know", lol!
