IH-526V-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Type III Vest - Indigo

[marlin]

After a little shopping break…just couldn't resist.

[neph93]

Don’t blame you buddy. Must be a wonderful vest and that is one helluva fit. How’s it feel?

[Jett129]

That’s so unbelievably cool looking,totally Bad Ass!

[marlin]

Thanks @neph93 and @Jett129!

Fresh out of the bag, it feels like a body amour. I really appreciate the push buttons for it's haptic and look. It is possible to open and close the vest with only one hand. Further I personaly didn't experianced that they pop up while wearing. I gave it a steaming hot soak for 30 minutes, since I was a bit in between the size. It shrank a bit, but not much. Since I'am a short guy I always fighting with the FL and BL as well. I put it on a hanger for about 90 minutes, and then worn the vest until it was dry. Overall I'am super happy.

With RMC boots and shorts.

Couldn’t help but notice the wood hoops on the drums. Who was playing drums? Anton Fig?

Ha ! I wish… and I wouldn’t have complained if it had been Mr Fig.
You must be a drummer...  I did notice these thingies too,
which are usually metal... they probably sound differently ?!?

This thing is seriously stiff. It’s gonna be a challenge to break in. But it’s gonna be so sweet when it gets all worn in. Here’s a few pics. Size L.

Had to do a tough guy one too [emoji1]

[neph93]

Great pics @Fadez  and congrats on the purchase. Looks like the perfect flexi-fit. Small enough to wear over a tee but with room for layers under it. What size do you normally take in shirts?

[Fadez]

I am L - XL in shirts. Yeah. I want this for year round wear. More layering options for fall though. It fits well over a hoodie or flannel. Kinda thinking I may size down for any other vest though so it’s just t shirt fit. But I do t think that’s be a 25oz one.

Anyone tame this beast to be semi comfy yet??

[Norrin]

I got mine to wear over my IHSH-99 & Indigofera Copeland, but it's way too hot to wear any of those at the moment.
I gave it a good warm soak, primarily so I could get the collar how I wanted. I've been rolling it up in all directions to loosen it up a little. I may start sitting on it, like I did with my Horsehide jacket, I'll have to put it in something though to stop everything turning indigo!

You are to kind @neph93, but there are plenty awesome fit pics around here, yours included!

Ha! That’s very kind of you to say but complete nonsense [emoji6] Mine are good enough, but really shouldn’t be mentioned in the same post as yours.
