      I’d add that arm holes become an issue when layering the heavier outerwear vests.

          @JDelage:

          Thank you.

          My pleasure.

          Please note that IH’s workvests have a P2P that sits lower on the body than a tee or shirt so these can seem misleading. As an example I need 57-58cm in a UHF, 52-53cm in a close fitting tee and 51-53cm for a close fitting vest over a tee or henley.

              Seeing some recent pics in the Vest Fans thread reminded me that this has been on my want/need list for far too long, so I’ve just ordered  😉
              Slightly unsure of how this will fit so I’ve picked both L and XL - my IHV-02 IND is L and snug, whilst both my IHV-09 and IHV-16 are XL and comfortable.

                @tmg  probably a good idea. Vests have to be one of the trickiest things to fit correctly. I've always liked this myself but still haven't gotten hold of it…it's a beauty.

                    The only thing that held me back initially was the length and concerns about shrinkage. By the time I worked out my size I’d scored the herringbone vest and a blue Indigofera vest so the need was gone. But you’re right, it would be too bad not to have had one at all…

                          Yes, that’s very killer. I’ve gotta wear mine like you!

                                  I had a XXL in this one - I’d wear an XL now.

                                      Okay calling all vest experts!

                                      I have zero experience with vests other than this carhartt one that I wore for a number of summers, many years ago.

                                      In my opinion the carhartt fits a bit too snug, ideally I’d like some more room ptp but it works…

                                      Hypothetically if I were to get one of these it would be worn with a pocket T in the summer but I’d like to be able to layer it with a light sweatshirt or flannel...

                                      I don’t have a ‘standard’ IHSH size as the 4 IH shirts I own range from XL to XXXXL... 🤷🏼‍♂️

                                      Anyway, based on these measurements and the fit, what would you guys recommend for size?
                                      Thanks! 🤟🏼

                                        What are you looking for in length? Over under or on your belt? And what’s the front length of the Carhartt?

                                          Front length is 26.5, the 4th picture there, I think I’d be okay if my belt showed but these aren’t straight across right?

                                            I think the XXXL will make you happy, but I think the XXL would “look better” but not give you the functionality you are wanting.
