    @neph93:

    @Stuart.T  If you’re thinking XXL or XXXL because of chest measurements compared to the shirts you have then stop right there.

    The vests have bigger armholes so the P2P is taken at a point lower down where your body is slimmer. I’m XL in most shirts and use L in the work vests over a tee, henley or thin shirt.

    If you’re XXL in most shirts and assuming you’ll be wearing this over a dress shirt at the wedding then I’d go with XL for a fitted look.

    Shrinkage is minimal if you wash carefully (30-40C). Hot washes render them immediately less dressy (but much more beautiful).

    @neph93 thanks mate, the ptp advice is invaluable. I'd never where this over a UHF etc, that's the job of my type III vest. Chambray would the thickest. I'd also give it a couple of 30c washes to give a bit of character and wear with khaki chinos (Stevenson overalls…sorry IH  but the hem are just too big in my waist size  :()

    XL it is...watch this space!

      Looking forward to seeing how it goes. You could consider the 21oz versions too (IHV-30’s). Picked up a black one at FnC and they are sweet.

        @neph93 21oz would be a bit too heavy for the August weather when the wedding is being held. My wife is not a fan of waist coats/vests so I've got some convincing to do…her and the fact that my in-laws are the epitome of Essex. Style is looking like an X-factor hopeful if you are under 30 or an investment banker/olli Murs if you are over 30. I fit neither  😃

            I officially don't own one of these anymore. I've had three in four years and ironically the one I had four years ago would be perfect for me now….

            @sest shows how to get the perfect fit..

                Thanks @casketoccupant  🙂 I bought the shirt from @hajduk some time ago and have since moved it on. Pierre, can you remember who made the polka dot shirt in the picture, see link below;

                    @casketoccupant you could always put a wanted ad up for one of these. Really lovely shirt…I have one but not for sale unfortunately.

                                          It all depends on how you want to wear your vest! The IH vests that I have had were small or medium, and I wear a medium UHF. The small vest was okay over a thin short or tee, but a stretch to button up over a thick shirt. The medium IHV-03 that I have, which is the one most similar to this, I can wear over a tee with the cinch tightened, or over a thicker shirt if I want. The p2p is a little generous when I’m not wearing much underneath, but it still works.

                                          So, go true to size if you want it for layering, or size down for a trim fit with a tee. Make sense?
