@Max Power how do you attach your patches? Machine sew? Adhesive? They look great!

[Max Power]

@Oaktavia thanks man! I used to stitch by hand but as that took me very long and im not really talented at it I got a very cheap used sewing machine and taught me how to (badly) do it

[Oaktavia]

I have run into the same issue with adding patches to older vests that don't fit anymore. My hand sewing looked pretty bad and took forever- especially larger patches. My wife actually was just given an old sewing machine from her grandmother so I'll try that out.

You should x-post to the music thread. I'm discovering a tonne of good bands I'd never heard of thanks to your vest. Thanks!

[Max Power]

That's awesome.  Cheers @EdH

if i wear a size 42 (XL?) in the IH-526PJ, which size should I get in this vest?

[Max Power]

Pretty sure XL should be fine then

[konadog]

just picked up this piece in the XL.  will post fit pics soon.  will this stretch?  i dig the fit, but would dig it more if it broke just a little bit.

[Giles]

Not in any significant way….

[konadog]

it's fitted, more than it's tight.  if it gives 1/4" i should be good

[Jett129]

Is not wearing it buttoned a deal breaker,as it looks like it’s pulling a little bit around the chest area.

[konadog]

Here are a few better pics:

I think it can work if it just gives a little.

There’s not really any give in the duck. And tops don’t stretch like bottoms do. Better off sizing up imo

I have 3 IH vests and none of them have ever stretched,and I wear a UHF and a heavyweight hoodie underneath it. Your probably not concerned with that,but at some point your going to have to wash it,and that would at the very least bring you back to square 1.
