      …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!!!

      Haha, good luck! I own a few vests in two sizes. They hang over each other on the hanger, I wash my own clothes, and almost certainly forgot to tell the wife about doubling up [emoji1]

      I really like the vest over hoodie thing you do here a lot so you’re good for that, but in my experience different sizes for layering, while an expensive luxury, is the only way forward. I have an IHV-21 (lined 18oz denim, collarless typeIII) in XL that I use over hoodies and flannels, but I lack a sized down denim trucker to wear over a tee. I’ve asked Graham to try a few sizes of this vest for me to work out which is best.

        I have two both same size the reason for that is I will hammer the hell out the one I wear in all weather and other for later use. The photo is pimp with GAH SNAPS still raw and stiff how I want it to be still. Water soaks maybe later to early yet.

          @Kasi That vest is amazing and those pimped buttons are incredible.

          Question, you had them install one button on the "inside" of the second to top button rendering it unusable?

                      It is surely a vest worthy of love. I need a smaller size type III vest to wear over s tee this summer and it is between this, the duck and the Superblack. This is easily the least appropriate of the three but also the one I most want [emoji849]

                        @neph93 Let me Play devil's advocate here. I don't wear any other vest as much as the duck vest. It's just so versatile in terms of weight and colour. The suberblack sometimes is too heavy / warm and Indigo/Indigo is sometimes not my kind of style.

                          I have both 21oz super black and the 25oz indigo, the indigo 25oz is killer of them all.

                            The IH-2526V is in many ways the best choice. Versatile, a good fabric and weight for summer and IH duck is sublime. The problem is I’m concerned that the L will be too small. The IH-526V-XHS is just awesome because it is XHS and a vest but probably isn’t what I need really. The IH-9526V will get used a lot for sure and the measurements look perfect, but I have the IHV-24. It’s a bit of a first world problem, but I can’t make my mind up…

                              My votes on the IH-526V-XHS all day long the best. [emoji4]

                                  My 9526v is so great, but I often find it too hot/crispy over a tee. It’s gotten a lot of wear and been washed a couple times, in any case. Now that summer is officially here in the southern US, I don’t expect I’ll be able to wear it much.

                                  All of that being said, I still lust after the XHS vest, and look at it all the time. [emoji23]

                                    I get your point that I why I brought two of them. I don’t think I can wear less than 25oz the only one I have is 21oz super black.

                                      That is exciting. It eliminates the IH-9526V from the conversation and actually pushes me more towards the duck now which sort of helps.

                                      Of course what I should do is save my pennies and finally cough up Kurt Chen’s goatskin vest.
