      Quick question, as I have no experience sizing vests. If my ideal P2P size for a shirt is 22", and if I intend to wear this vest over no more than a shirt or a thin sweater, I should go for the L in this vest, correct (22.3" chest measurement)? Or is that going to be too tight? I find 23" to be too loose (but manageable) in a shirt. Also, I'm 5'9", so not particularly tall (i.e., the IHSH-76 is too long in the back for me).

      Thanks!

        I tried these on when I was in Gosport. I’m an XL in IH shirts and I tried the XL and L vests. I found the L ok with just a tee shirt, but even that was a little trim. I could wear the XL comfortably with a flannel and undershirt and will go with that one day. My conclusion is, go with your shirt size.

                        Thank you, sir. One of those bits of kit that makes you happy just seeing it hanging in the closet. Wearing it is a blast.

                                  The vest. Definitely the vest.

                                  Although the sweatshirt on it’s own is a little relaxed also.

                                    I also dig today's outfit neph…I definitely need this vest in my life this winter.

                                    What would Jesus wear?

                                        @redgreen  @madmoses  thanks gents.

                                        This vest may be the favourite bit of clothing I own. I have to say the quality of the sheepskin, construction and finishing is incredible. It was 50F today and I was toasty like this. I can wear it over an IH hoodie and thermal underwear with UHR or 25oz and stay warm at 30F (with appropriate hat and gloves of course [emoji1])

                                          I hear ya, it's a great piece.
                                          And it has a very primal essence to it, like really REALLY old fashioned work wear. I think it could work as a prop for any number of movies or television shows. That's not to say it's too "costume-y" for every day wear though, I really fancy it. I think it's overall design looks like a classic wardrobe staple that you never knew you were missing, like IH wabash, for example.

                                          What would Jesus wear?

                                            @Giles what’s the best kind of treatment to use on this when the leather gets a little dry? Any of the Chamberlain products well suited?
