IH-526V-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Type III Vest - Indigo
-
Indigo warp, black weft. I'm only speculating, but it could possibly end up looking like this: https://www.heddels.com/2017/06/fade-friday-3sixteen-shadow-selvedge-3-years-unknown-washes/
Edit: except the fade would be predominantly more black because of the reactive dye they are using.

XXL measurements are PERFECT for me… ugh...
but I need one of these like I need an Arsehole on my elbow.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I've worn mine every single day since I got it. @Matty123

One last post before I take off: I was just admiring how the inside of the vest feels like the softest velvet.

I should rephrase…. I want one badly. It’s not in the budget right now. I’ve got a 189 with brass buttons somewhere in the UPS system.

God willing it’ll be in the budget

@Filthy:
when this come out I will be glad I have both.
exactly what I was thinking…

I was thinking maybe on the next run of 25 oz XHS vests a bottom button would be a good idea instead of a snap. Mine comes unsnapped pretty easily because I am a fat ass. There's a good 4 inches of room in the waist. But because of the length it comes unsnapped when I sit because of the deflection off my waist… if that makes sense.
Also those 2 toggles or whatever you call em come unsnapped from my backpack pretty easily too. It might be good if those where buttons as well.
I posted this here so others that own the vest can share their thoughts. Rather than posting in the Where do you think we can improve thread.

@Filthy same deal with my IHV-21. It becomes less of an issue as the fabric softens and becomes more pliable.
The bottom button thing is the reason why there’s this sartorial rule about leaving the bottom button on vests undone. On less robust buttoned vests, having it done up means the vest bunches up and looks weird when you sit.
I’ve decided the cinch tabs actually look pretty badass flying free, although it should be said that it also became less of an issue when I stopped giving a fekk. [emoji38]

Yeah it's gonna be a long time until the denim softens up. I mean, the hand is as soft as it gets. But it is soooo stiff. I've even been rolling it up like a newspaper. I roll one way and the the other. I soaked the collar and ironed it flat, left it dry, rewet ir again, then folded it down lower than where they ironed it at the factory I now have an inch of fold over vs.the .5 I had when it was new. This thing is so f'n stiff.
