@STR777:

Hi guys so I'd like this to be one of my next purchases from IH.

I wear a medium in IH shirts and I'm thinking I should get a medium in this vest. For reference I'm 5'7" and about 160lbs.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I consistently fit an XL in IH workshirts, but I wear an L in this vest. For that reason, I’d suggest having a word with the IH team. If I recall correctly, I originally ordered an XL and it was way too big …

Size down unless you’re planning to wear over two layers.

@Kingsselvedge:

Hi all,

Sorry if this isn't the right section but any pointers on the best vest for work? I tend to wear waistcoats as full jackets are too warm. Want something warmer but not too outdoorsey like a gilet. This work vest is looking good so far.

It is a good work vest for sure. I would also consider one of the type III vests for the added functionality of the inside pockets.

Very pleased with the new vest. I had to immediately wear it to a gig the same evening. Fantastic quality and beautiful fabric. Can not wait to see how it evolves. Customer service was great too and shipped very fast. Great job all around!

@94atromero bad ass bro!! Suits you quite nicely!!

How is the pocket size for carrying a modern cell phone?
Over the winter I've gotten used to wearing a chore coat as my outer layer, and I've found it so much more convenient having my stuff in those large lower pockets. I can get my phone out of the pocket while sitting down without any futzing about, even with a seatbelt on, and nothing falls out of those big pockets as I move about!
I'm considering this waistcoat as a warmer weather substitute for the chore coat, but I want to know if it serves the purpose... Are the pockets deep enough? Does the phone pop out when you sit down, if it's done up? Does it fall out if you reach down to pick something up?

@CanadIan iPhone mini 13 just about fits. Anything larger will stick out.

Need the forums help on sizing. I’m in XXXL shirts right for IH. They aren’t tight but I’m not swimming in them. So I have IH shirts that go from 24.6 to 24.9. I was looking at the Wabash vest and the XXXXL is 24.9. So is that too much for putting over a dress shirt? Possibly the IH Chambray

@joephoto I'm an XL in iron heart shirts and I went for a large in this vest. I really like how it fits but It only works if the under shirt is tucked in. The length of the vest is another important factor for people. You can see how mine sits at or a little above the belt line showing my belt buckle. If you look back one previous page in this post you can see @Daniel-Sans fit is a little roomier and the bottom hangs over his belt line (i think he went with the same vest size as his typical shirt size). I think both fits work visually and it comes down to personal preference. sizing down would prove more difficult if you have a larger beer belly, but the construction of the vest doesn't taper at the waist so for me a neat fit in the chest works in the belly too even though i have some extra lb's in the midsection.

@jordanscollected thanks Jordan. I’m not a V shape. So vest same size as shirt or above might work. As the XXXL is sold out I’ll try the XXXXL
