IHV-32-IND - Cotton Padded Vest in Indigo

[Alex]

Not today, sorry Mike.

I'll PM you the day they launch.

Okay thanks.

I also don't want to miss out on these… having trouble deciding between colors... what color are you guys prefering?  I feel like the black plays nicer with the denim yoke but it's hard to tell on screen.

[neph93]

They’re both really nice but I think the contrasted blue body/black yoke wins it for me.

[Giles]

The yoke on the blue version is indigo….

@Giles:

The yoke on the blue version is indigo….

Ha, I'm a twat 

The contrast between the blue body and dark indigo wins it for me then…

I just wanted to take minute to thank the Crew for the best cutomer service ever. I am beyond stoked to be getting the vest.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

The vest is incredibly awesome @Alex Thanks so much. I absolutely love it. I've wanted a Woolrich/Levis vest like this for a loooong time. I will post pics as soon as I can. First impression is that it is very warm and comfortable. It's lightweight. And the zipper pulls are monstrous. @neph93 is right that the denim looks black because even up close it looks black.

There's stil at least one of every size, so I wouldn't sleep on this guys.

[neph93]

Really looking forward to seeing this in the wild. Great score @Filthy

[Alex]

You’re welcome, @Filthy

Least photogenic person on the forum? Quite possibly. Sorry that I don't have anybody to take proper pics.

Luckily everyone agrees that: any pictures > no pictures. Thanks for posting.

More fit pics! I normally wear L in work shirts and XL in westerns… with this vest I went with an M based on measurements but I think it came up a little small on me (little too short and a little too trim).  L might have been better for me but I suspect that I might just be in between sizes...

I also think the shape of the neck on this vest makes my shoulders/neck line look huge.  I wanted to love this vest and I think if it's ever made without the denim yoke I'd probably go for it 100%.  Anyway, this M will be making it's way back to IHUK soon...

^^^IMHO too small to you.

Enjoy ya addiction[emoji158] [emoji149][emoji148] [emoji1587]‍️

[neph93]

Agreed. You’d be golden with an L I reckon. The measurements are external so you have to reckon with the padding taking up a lot of space.

[spitfiredealer]

yeah get a large and you will be golden.

Thanks guys!  I have a IHV-31-BLK in a L coming my way I'm gonna try out first… only thing I'm worried about with that vest is if it would be TOO warm given I live in the south and we only get like 1-2 months of cold weather.

Anyway, back to the IHV-32... the color and weight of the body is great on this piece.  The denim yoke is kind of hard and rigid fresh out the box which probably contributes to the vest making my neck/shoulders look huge.  I'm sure with some effort you could get the denim to break in there... maybe with a few washes or something?

Would be great to know how that breaks in over time so @Filthy if you are getting a lot of wear on this it'd be great to know how it goes with the denim yoke!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

It's 21 oz denim, so it is sure to be a stubborn fader. It's also 70 degrees F here so I won't be wearing again until it gets colder.
