      @neph93 so even with my Grinch belly you're suggesting an XL would be better for over a t shirt? If so I will reply to the invoice and ask for a size down from my OG order.

            Really hard for me to say. What one considers a good fit is very subjective. I’m just saying that I sized down, and basing your choice on comparing chest measurements with jackets is not wise, as it apples and oranges.

            If you want a concrete recommendation,
            now I’ve thought this through, I say stick with XXL. You’re fairly tall so may need the extra length, and the great thing about wabash is that you can wash it at 90C and get really good shrinkage if you need it.

                Fwiw, I’m an XXL in the lefty and a trim XL in the V-02

                I could size down but the length would not work, so mine is pretty cinched in the back.

                  Perhaps an XXL would for me with a tight cinch? Totally guessing 🤔

                    Cinching is your friend, and the hot wash option is always there. You’ll lose half an inch in most dims if you want to.

                      I think that might be the route I'll take, hadn't considered that before.

                        Vests looks good cinched - it’s like tailoring 🙂

                        I think they look better (subjective) cinched to pull in the silhouette - you will probably be happy with the XXL - just know the shoulders relax with wear or a soak..

                        Mine has never seen water in 4 years.

                          Oaktavia I am xxx in most IH shirts and jackets and sometimes xx and I have this vest in xx and it's fine over heavy oz IH shirts but if I were to do over I would have ordered xl.

                          To wear over a t shirt I think I would need to shrink it unless I want a relaxed fit. I should have ordered xl and then just wear it open or partially open when worn over heavy oz shirts.

                          In general with IH vests, always size down. Ptp is lower, arms holes bigger, and this throws your usual shirt or jacket measurements out the window. Unless you want a real relaxed fit or wear over heavy oz shirts. To wear over a t shirt 2 sizes down from your usual shirt or jacket size would not be uncommon.

                          I think xl would be the best choice in your case. I feel this way even though I always error on the too big side of things and love my fits relaxed.

                            Well I just confirmed with Graham via email to send the XXL over the pond to Maryland. If it's big out of the bag, I'll blast it with a hot wash and cinch it if need be. Will update soon, as IHUK packages send lightning fast.

                            Just saw the last two comments, which provide differing suggestions. With an XXL, I have sized down one from my Lefty Trucker. Time will tell…
