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

I picked up the last XXL last week. I'll upload some pic's soon. I have been scheming with Rob at IHUK about how to purchase this piece (long story). Anyhow I'm actually "opening" this "gift" in mid December.
Anyone else in MN, USA have one?
What's a good response to "man, don't you wear anything else?" because I'm not leaving the house without this on for some time to come.

Sorry for the dark lighting/shadows. I was in a speakeasy in a back alley.
Worn over the IH Hickory Stripe Work Shirt. This vest also looks great over an UHF, Sweatshirt, short sleeve work shirt, it's very versatile as seen from other posters.
If you are considering getting one, do it before it goes extinct. the $400 will be forgotten about, and the vest is a statement piece that will be worn, enjoyed, and collected for years and years

“Do it for the forum” is the line my wife got sick of very quickly while in Charleston, SC over a long weekend.
Lots of compliments on the vest. This is a special piece.

She’s far from the only one. We should start a support group [emoji1]
She takes great photos though and that vest is glorious.

Few years and these will look amazballs

I finally gave this a hot soak to get some shrinkage and I've posted some photos of the results. I've been wearing this 2-3 days a week since mid-December. My method was to lay flat in a tub submerged in hot water. I let it stand for about 90 minutes and then hung it to dry outside in the wind for a few hours, and then inside overnight (it took about 24 hours to air dry completely).
If you have one, cheers and enjoy. If you don't, it's only money, join us!!

@neph93 What do you think of the fit? I think an XL would probably fit me better (this is a XXL), but it would lose the layering functionality. When I put it on with just a t-shirt, it feels like I'm a small turtle moving around in a larger turtles shell. It's partly due to the stiffness of the product, and also the boxy nature of the cut. I keep second guessing my purchased size over and over again.

If worn over t shirt go for a true size but if a over hoodie size up….

@Kasi so what I'm hearing is that its perfectly suitable to own both sizes for both scenario's? I'll see what the wife (who doesn't like $400 vest #1), thinks about $400 vest #2.
Wish me luck!!!
