      What's the borderline bit?

        The vest. Definitely the vest.

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

              @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.

                  @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?

                              Evening sun above the arctic circle suits this vest…

                              Just prepped it for the colder months with Chamberlains #1 and it has darkened the pockets and taping in a very pleasing way. The sheepskin was showing signs of drying slightly but has perked right up

                                The product details says @Sam wears medium, while in the pictures he wears this over an IHJ-35.
                                Is he really wearing a size M over the 35? Looking at the measurements I would think he wears L over the 35 and M over a shirt…

                                    I think the fit is ok.

                                      Looks like a perfect fit over the leathers.

                                        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.

                                        You got the XL eventually @neph93 ?

                                          @Signal11  I did indeed. On reflection it was the right choice. Despite missing the option to wear it over one layer, the XL is the more flexible size for me.

                                            Thanks @neph93. I feel the same way about my size L.
                                            The main reason for me to order this vest was for wearing it over my 35 while riding my motorcycle. But now I got it I find it's such a great vest, I would like to wear it all the time! With one layer the vest feels a little too big but with multiple layers like wabash or denim, the size is good.
                                            Also as AdamC mentioned, with a smaller size comes shorter length. Not good if you are wearing an untucked shirt.

                                            Having no destination, I’m never lost.
