        Did you hand sew the patches? If so it came out great.

          Yes indeed just a quick hand sew for each of them. I also have an 888 octopus patch but it's trickier has lots of curves.

            I think your hand stitching looks great. Did you glue them into place first?

                @EdH:

                I've got a gift voucher burning a hole in my pocket, and a strange desire to get my sewing kit out and put some patches on something. Noting the last restock seemed to be just a few items, any idea when a more substantial restock is anticipated? I think I'd probably be an XL (my IH type III size).

                I have an XXL I bought from IHUK (I got the only one] late last year that I’ll be selling in the next week or two. It’s slightly too big for me so I bought a replacement from Self Edge in XL. I’ve probably worn it less than three days total over a hoodie, it’s essentially new.

                  Interesting @nrtphotos... I'll get the measuring tape out and do some comparisons to figure out how that might fit, but I might be tempted.

                  Take the dive...

                    Managed to find an XL on eBay. Seems like it’s barely been worn. Love it.

                          Weird question: Has anyone else found these to be fairly uncomfortable around the arms? I now have an XXL and an XL. The XL fits perfect in terms of shoulders, chest and length. However, if I have my arms raised straight out the fabric around the arm hole digs into my tricep/armpit. I’ve noticed that the fabric between the edge of the armhole and breast pocket gets scrunched up on both sides when my arms are raised forward.

                          It’s not very comfortable and I’m really confused as to what causes this, the shoulder looks perfect and the chest isn’t too tight. I’m a pretty skinny guy and do NOT have big arms. I’m pretty bummed, these were expensive and it wasn’t immediately obvious. The weird part is none of my other IH jackets have this problem. Anyone else have this?

                            Slightly smaller arm holes makes sense because it's a vest, not just a jacket without the sleeves attached, and they are designed to go up into the pit a bit more to give that waistcoat look. I did notice a bit of that armpit digging when worn over just a single layer, but with thicker garments it's not been an issue for me.

                            I'm not really understanding how it's digging into your triceps when you raise your arms in front of you though... That bit of fabric between the hole and the pocket that scrunches up meets my arm at the inner-bicep or anterior deltoid when I raise my arms. I assume that you mis-spoke? Anyway, that part of the vest is now pretty creased on my vest already (other than take it off to sew on a couple of patches, I've been wearing it pretty much constantly since getting it 9 days ago) and is pretty soft already.

                            I'd say keep wearing it, perhaps over a hoodie or something, and it should soften up. I can wear mine comfortably over just a T now.

                                  Yes, I was talking about the wrong muscle lol. I’m hoping it does soften up a bit or stretch, it’s made my plans of selling the XXL get put on hold. I just need to stop being a baby apparently.

                                    You probably won't get much stretch, but with a little wear and time it will soften up. That section of fabric on mine is pretty much permanently creased now so doesn't dig in anymore.

                                      Added another patch, just below the left arm hole. The skull peeks out from under my arm. 💀

                                      Battle vest coming along nicely.

                                      Now where to put the octopus… 🐙 and where to find a matching purple thread.

                                        I also have an 888 octopus patch but it's trickier has lots of curves.

                                        The trick is to do much shorter stitches, and do your best to ensure that the needle goes through as close to perpendicular as possible. Then look at the other side of the fabric and make sure your next stitch is very close to the last one, and 9 times out of 10 you'll come out the other side where you wanted to. (Don't push your needle all the way through until you've checked where you're coming out.) Longer stitches and you'll end up with a cut-corners look on all those curves.

                                        Edit: like this
