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

[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!

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.

[madmoses]

ya @marlin, you're definitely doing it right

Just got this vest yesterday…oh boy is it a mighty beast!

[neph93]

^ nice one @madmoses I can only speculate as to what they must be like (until July when I can actually try one on [emoji15])

[marlin]

Thanks @madmoses! Oh yes, it sure is a beast which needs to get tamed, enjoy it!!!

[Fadez]

Sized down one. This is the fit I’m going for. It’s still such a beast.
