IH-526V-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Type III Vest - Indigo
-
Has anyone soak… their first, or worn raw
It should shrink in line with jeans. The only experience I have of shrinking type III's is with my IHV-21. It is was the old 18oz denim, but lined. The lining made shrinkage harder but I gave it a super hot wash which did the job.
I say go for it, especially if you'd like it a little more trim.
As a matter of interest, what are you doing with your old one?

looks great Kasi–-- you tamed the beast

@Kasi your wardrobe is the modern day version of someone having a chest of the finest silks and fabrics from around the world in their attic just waiting to be passed down for generations.
That's impressive. Even Herrods doesn't have a nice enough shop to house this vest.
one more quip. that's not the full house, it's a royal flush

…9 buttons! Wow! is right!
...wheres my calculator, better not let that one out of your site @Kasi!
-
…10 buttons!!! I missed one!

10 GAH SNAPS!!! Wow @Kasi , your wife surely hasn’t signed up to the forum I gather.
Stellar pimping there.

Kasi, looks amazing, I’ve been wanting to do the same thing with mine!

No plans, but Japan have a few in smaller sizes (XS-L) available, so if you would like one, please drop me (and cc @AdamC ) a PM….
If size xs available in Japan, are there any dimensions available for the size xs? The posted dimensions chart does not include for size xs. I have the IH-9526V in size xs which is a perfect fit. Possibly if a size xs available as you suggest, it may have similar dimensions - or at least be shorter in overall length. Thanks!

@John Galt i actually didn’t realize an xs existed and I may have actually opted for that had i known.
it looks like measurements are on the japan site. that said, i went with a small and i was able to get about an inch of shrink on the shoulder and chest flat with a 40C soak. It looks like the vertical length stayed the same. right now, it fits more like a jacket layer rather then a snug shirt layer and i think it works given the heft of the fabric.
