IHV-02DD - Double Indigo Duck Vest

[neph93]

@Brock:

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?

They aren't straight across no, so it's about the belt buckle being visible at the bottom of the placket and the belt at the back. Personally I like the vest to sit so that it just covers the belt at the back and the buckle is visible. I wish I could wear it like some guys do, short with the whole belt visible but it looks silly on me.

Judging by measurements I agree with @Appfaff You'd need an XXXL for the flexibility you want, but it's going to be long on you, I think. Like it will most likely cover the buckle on your belt. If you're good with that then cool beans. XXL would be good over just one layer.

@Brock I think the wabash vests are a bit shorter - you may want to look at those - and those are lighter weight for spring/summer and wearing with a tee shirt.  something to think about.

Thanks for the tips guys! I’m still on the fence but I really love this fabric!!

How much would the length shrink up if I hot soaked it? Not sure I could rock a vest that long.

For sure this fabric is the nuts… and you might be able to shrink it some.  I have the opposite problem, I'm always looking for MORE length!  Good luck.

Thanks all!

I wore it to Gosport for Christmas, and got a tiny tear in my eye shen @Giles said my vest has more evo than his… Finally I've done something right in my life!!!

[rocket]

haha…

[Bluegrass]

@UnTucked With the vast amount and variety of gear G has access to, I'm surprised anything has any evo!!!  Tho I know he still finds a way! But your vest is def, superb.

Hi there.

We have a “Want to buy” section in the Marketplace which exists for this kind of post. You’ll reach a lot more people there. Good luck in your search.

So I should consider myself lucky that I did score this one today.
A perfect fit and an unplanned Spontankauf… ouch !
