man, i'm really torn. I really like the khaki and the navy colors but can't decide which to go for. I'm leaning towards the navy since khaki will most likely show signs of dirt.

@gaseousclay I have the khaki deck jacket and I must attest to how amazing the color is. I wore all last winter and don't have much grime or dirt to show for it. Its so versatile in how it matches a variety of other colors (I'm sure the navy is too though). I liked the khaki so much, I have been dying to get my hands on the vest in the same color (see my comment to giles a few comments back).
I don't know if I am helping or making it harder, but the khaki color is really something else. The N1 vest in khaki being released this fall is one of my top priorities.
On the bright side, it is IH, so in all honestly whichever you decide to go with, you will come out a winner

yeah, I really like the khaki color too, which is why it's difficult deciding. The cheap vest I usually wear is a quilted/fleece lined Orvis vest which serves as a layering piece in the winter. I'm thinking i'll go navy should I choose to get an N1, since I think this color looks pretty good too.

I have the khaki one now, and I love it, but I got it in a trade for the black one that I originally had. I do like the black one FAR MORE… Khaki looks good, and Navy looks really good (As a jacket). The black vest, for some reason, to me is PERFECT with the brown alpaca..... Makes it very versatile, and it goes with everything

I have a navy N-1 & a khaki vest & the khaki long coat-hey, the weather here is all over the map- I'm with @UnTucked the navy N-1 looks great. The vest is one of my most often worn from autumn to spring.

Would you say these fit exactly the same as the IHM-14? Been on the fence with the IHV-22 and IHM-14 because of sizing. I'm close to @Sam and @Dishelveled in terms of size (5'11, 175lbs, 34" waist, 38" chest) but noticed they both fluctuate between medium and large. I measured a vest that fits me pretty well and based on those measurements a large would likely be my best bet, and likewise with the IHM-14. But when I perused the forum people have suggested both vest and jacket are generously sized and that sizing down is recommended. I wear a size large UHF fwiw. i'll have to go measure one of my winter jackets to see how it compares to the IHM-14.

I think it depends on how you want to wear a vest really, a lot of people size down in a vest to get a tighter body and so that it does not overhang the belt.
Sam is really only ever a large for sleeve length hence why he is a medium in these. You can PM me your measurements and I can let you know what I think based off those if you'd like. -
I don't have my exact vest measurements in front of me but off the top of my head the p2p is 22.75" and the front/back length is around 26"-25.5" or thereabouts, so it sits just below my belt. I use it as a layering piece with all my flannel shirts, but it's also pretty thin by IH standards.
