      A bit too small for me but cool. I think it would fit a certain gent of the untucked variety….

        @neph93 I'm in need of some vest advice…..

        Maddy has given me the greenlight for 2 more purchases this year (Without selling gear first), and a type 3 vest is one of the things I'm choosing.

        IH-526V
        or
        IH-526V-XHS

          Type III vests aren’t really my speciality. I have one (IHV-21) and had another from the Marketplace briefly but wasn’t happy with sizing.

          Both the two you mention are beautiful. I’d be tempted to go with the IH-526V. Classic 21oz, heavy but soft. The XHS version is gorgeous and the denim is great but it will be crazy stiff. If you don’t plan on wearing it daily it will stay that way for a looooong time. This was the way with my IHV-21. I had to force myself to wear and use it for working in to get past the stiffness.

            X-Post, since it seems to underrated IH-2526V

            Great looking bracelet, can you give some details.

              I'm leaning towards the IH-526V, for the same reasons you mentioned…
              I'm SURE the IH-526V-XHS will be amazing with some serious wear, but I just don't know if I'm the guy who can/will make that happen, lol!

                I love the 25oz fades. But they are high contrast so the bits that don’t get much abrasion stay very dark. On a vest that’s almost all of it.

                        I kind of miss @davito's incredible and inspiring posts. I hope he and his canine are doing well.

                                It's definitely one of my prized pieces, along with my IH-816-DD's as well.

                                            Dammit, Graeme!  Now I want these shoes.  And maybe a t-shirt…

                                            The Bodywarmer looks good, and I don't even like vests.
