          Finally got one of these large enough to layer a hoodie underneath [emoji119]

            ^ nice… I had one in XL but couldn’ make it work with anything which made me sad [emoji1] Sizing down would be the thing but I somehow can’t see it being big enough. 1st world problems?

              This is TTS for me (44). It's pretty roomy in the chest, which means great movement, but is slim through the mid section and waist. I had the Xl (42) but couldn't button i past the chest on Heavy shirts, thus rendering it useless for me in most occasions. I know everyone says to size down, but my normal IH size seemed to work best for what I was looking for.

              @neph93 - since you rock vests over Tshirts alot, I think a Large (40) would work pretty well for you. This one was used a lot, so it's already pretty soft and pliable. When these are new, they are unforgiving lol

                          Crappy pictures, I know, but could I get a fit check? I'm fat so I went with an XXL, but now I'm thinking I maybe should have gone with XL. Thoughts?

                            How much room to you have when it is buttoned up ?  It is always personal preference, but from the pics I would say you could go one down.

                              Personal preference but it looks like it might be a little big. I agree with @rocket, if you can easily close it so that the buttons and buttonholes cross over by an inch or more then you could definitely size down.

                                I've got room, but not a ton. I would mostly be wearing this with either a hoodie or heavy flannel under it. Maybe occasionally with just a t-shirt. My biggest concerns are the shoulders, and the length, which according to the measurement chart are an inch smaller on the XL. I don't imagine I'd see much shrink (never had anything in this denim) with a really hot soak. It's not overly big, I just want it to be a tiny bit trimmer.

                                  I’d say you could afford to loose an inch in length. Shoulders are harder to judge.

                                    The length is from the pics not a issue on you. Check how it feels with just a tee. Maybe you will need to live with a compromise and choose the one you will use most, or buy two.

                                      I also think you could size down - shoulders won't be much of an issue with a vest IMO.

                                        Hey dude. I'm 6'2 and 15st9lb. I wear a xxl but thanks to the good folks at IH UK got chance to try an xl too. For me it was slightly too tight. I could only wear a t shirt under it. The shoulders on the xxl are my only concern, they flair out very slightly over my shoulders. Ideally the collar to shoulder could be 1 inch shorter. Over a hoodie or leather it is great though, and that's one of the reasons I wanted it.

                                        Against advice I have it a full cycle on 60 degrees C, no spin cycle. I got some pretty nice grey fades in certain areas. I'll have a better idea tonight when it's dry and I take it out it the warm airing cupboard.

                                        I'm not advocating this for you though. Don't do it if you need black to mean black.
