Ha  At $90 you can afford to try! The P2P measurement is the thing, this fits over the chest like other IH vests so if you can pull off the chest measurement you're fine..

don't think the P2P will work here, but I might could wear it open…. haha

Looks great mate. I got this when first released but sadly the length just didnt work on me.

Shame for G that they went on Special as his one looks absolutely killer with some wear.

I hope it looks as good on me as it does on you!

x-post from WAYWT. Just a little love for a vest that didn't get a ton when released. I think the buttons are very eye catching and the pockets are extremely useful when on horseback.

Boom! Fit for purpose and looking good. Nice score.

Finally re-purposed the IHV-16 as a carpenter’s vest. Works exceptionally well. Thanks for reminding me about this piece @jordanscollected

@neph93 it looks great on you Rueben. It’s so soft and supple that if you have the correct fit, it’s like you are wearing nothing (not literally). I can’t see how this got passed up by most on its release.

Who will join Rueben and I on the IHV-16 “revival tour”?

I can dig mine out, I love it…...

[neph93]

@Untucked has one too so we’re all in good company.

I enjoyed mine again today. It is a lovely weight and very easy to wear, as well as being emminently practical. Looking forward to seeing some indigo dissappearing from it.

@Giles, yours is pretty beaten up, no? Also is this fabric essentially the same material as the shirting wabash, just without the dots?

[UnTucked]

Definitely an underrated piece of kit

Weave may be the same, but this fabric is woven on an ancient and rather cranky shuttle loom, the shirting wabash is woven on a projectile loom.

That looks great @Giles. I added a (fake) Sherriff's badge to my top pocket in hopes of creating some evo patterns (not sure it will work).

Did you remove your zipper pull or tuck it in?

what is that zipper pocket traditionally for?

lastly, are the buttons made from anything notable?
