    Looks stunning, @neph93. Just curious, how do you size your vest? Do you get your "normal" IH size? I always have noticed the pit to pit and other measurements are always a little different on vests.

      Thank you. Slightly tricky question to answer simply. It all depends on the vest and how you want to wear it.

      First off, I take XL in shirts. Generally if I want a vest to wear just over a tee then I take an L. Over a hoodie or layers then XL. Some of my favourite work vests are M though, and I have at least one heavy quilted vest that is L but I wear over layers.

      The key is not to equate p2p on a vest to p2p on a shirt. As a rule the armholes on vests are bigger than on shirts and therefore lower down. The measurement you need is often smaller as a result.

      The next thing is length. Some people want vests in or even above the belt, some want a waistcoat fit where the vest covers the waistband and belt. So this is important to check too.

        That makes sense. When looking at the pit to pit, I normally take a 23.2 or so, but that would mean an xxxl. It seems like I should just get a XXL or XL.

          Sounds about right. On work vests, if you want them fitted, you go all the way down to a p2p about the same as a fitted tee. I’m happy with a 52cm p2p on a work vest and about 55cm on a type III vest.

            Oof, this pic makes this vest look even more appealing.

              I almost never wear vests over shirts (with the exception of The Viking Kitty) but I had to try this. I don’t own an IHSH-21 so a IHSH-119 has to do. I also can’t do buttoned sleeves or shirt tails hanging out, so that got changed. In addition I don’t own a Harley so I subbed in a toy ambulance. But I’m nearly there [emoji23]

              Toilet mirror shot at work as a dubious bonus…

                          @Max Power  you got hold of them both?

                          I have to say now they are pictured with the vest, maybe the black/gold is the best. Also maybe placed higher?

                            @neph93 yeah, I do things quite excessive  😃 I also got a few more small ones incoming so I will choose which composition makes the most sense. I like both colours, but think the green one is still my favorite.

                              The green is lovely. Really great. If I had any relationship with the band I’d love one on Iron Heart OD.

                                  Cheers guys. I indeed have a close and special relationship with the band. Got a third option incoming but that design is my favorite, also got a signed print from the artist framed so the choice is pretty easy.

                                    Almost done, still misses three small patches.

                                        In this sense, only an ‚Iron to the Bone‘ patch is missing on the inside of the vest.

                                        Great work @Max Power and sending delayed birthday wishes.

                                          And that patch would be truly great. The little one likes it too.
