IHV-36-BLK - Primaloft® Gold Quilted Vest - Black
-
I’ve never bought a vest before so I would appreciate some advice on the sizing from the vest nerds out there.
I wear an M in 95% of IH shirts and assume that’s what I would take in this one. Especially since Giles wears an L and is always a size or two larger than me. I plan to wear it over a shirt and under a jacket.
Reuben told me last weekend that chest measurements are slightly different for vests due to the cut of the arm holes, but I can’t remember what that difference is. Is it that vest fits larger than a shirt with the equivalent chest dimensions since the measurement is taken lower?
The length seems a bit short. Approximately 3in shorter than a shirt of the same size. Is that how a vest is supposed to fit?
I’d go M if I were you. The armholes on this and general design is different to type III vests and work vests. As noted the arm holes are smaller so closer to your UHF measurement is probably good.
I’d most likely go L over a henley and XL over a UHF/tee. I take XL in UHF’s.
Thanks! I got an M.

I’m going to give it a shot. I feel like I’ve waited so long for this vest that it would bug me to never know if it fit or not!

You buying another vest? I'm shocked [emoji3]

I think I remember the IHJ-08 being made in a factory that specialized in Japanese military garments. Is this vest made in the same factory?
Anyone have any fit pics?
Mine arrives tomorrow! -
Terrible fit pics of a great vest. I sized an x-large and it will accommodate a flannel easy enough. Construction is over the top and makes my Patagonia lightweight pieces feel like Kleenex. I expect this piece to be pretty warm!
If it wasn’t still obnoxiously hot I’d wear it today [emoji3062]

Nice! I have the IHV-32 in a size L so I took a chance on this in an XL given the measurements looked similar… hoping it fits!

Just picked up this vest from Berkeley Supply in an XL as I have the IHV-32 in size L and the measurements seemed to line up well… happy to say the XL fits nicely! This has quickly become my favorite vest... it's super lightweight and warm. Pretty much perfect!

I'm hoping to track down one of these for my mom for a xmas gift. She's a slender 6'0". What size do you think I should be looking for? Thank you.
Edit: I didn't realize the product page has the height / weight of the IHUK crew. Thank you, that helps greatly.
I think she would likely be a medium… but now if I could only find one.
