IHV-44-BLK - Primaloft® Gold Quilted Vest - Black

[Matt]

That’s funny. I think we’ve the same exact build and I almost always go with a M as a rule but often fear I should be going with Large. I just recently started picking up some leaves when the measurements are below 21.5” chest or 17” shoulder.

The L does look great and since this would almost always be layered over something bigger than a tee I’d probably do the same thing.

@Matt that is funny. I almost always try to get some shrink out of a large depending on the measurements. Have a few mediums too. They play nice with the larges in the closet

[Giles]

I'd go with M, because I think PrimaLoft works better when snug....

Proper head fucking if I ever saw one might be one of those pieces you’ll forever second guess no matter what you end up keeping

@Giles swooping in to put me back at square one

[Matt]

Ha.

Perhaps I'll add a little more to the confusion then.

Reasons not to get M:

• Overall length looks slightly short to me (this would probably be more obvious if we could see a comparison over e.g., an untucked T-Shirt)
• Armpit area looks slightly tight with "just" a UHF under it (see arm opening)

Reasons to get L:

• Overall length looks spot on
• Armpit area is neither too loose nor too tight and just right with a UHF
• You can always decide to add another layer with the L, but not with the M

I would generally agree with @Giles' comment regarding Primaloft working better when snug, but I'd depart from that opinion if the overall fit is going to be too snug for you to the point where it'll affect you from having a better mobility and layering whatever you want to ultimately layer under it.

Now I just want that sax flannel.

This vest, man….

…here’s my $.02

[Nocturama]

@goosehd - maybe this?

[goosehd]

@SKT Hope you don’t mind us having a little fun at your expense. If all of us agreed all of the time, this place would be boring as hell…

…as stated 1000 times before, fit is subjective and depends on what you’re comfortable with.

…and as I mentioned the other day, “like herding cats”

Good luck and let us know how you make out!

[SKT]

@goosehd “having a little fun” is the reason I’m here! I think I’ve settled on the large. The length and layering versatility won out. Here’s a pic of it (x post from WAYWT)

[Brandrea]

@SKT Not much more to say, that looks fantastic on you!

[cityofdelusion]

Looks great.

Waiting on delivery of a Primaloft muffler that I managed to pick up in the for sale section of this forum. Hopefully one day I can also get hold of one of these to go with it!

[jdwaid]

@hjl360 depending on your size, there are still a few floating around on Ebay. I think Shop Vancouver still has some as well.

[hjl360]

@jdwaid yeah I do check from time to time, pretty confident I would need a large which so far I have not seen one for sale. Also I'm in the UK and not too keen on getting one from overseas.

There was a large on eBay from Japan a while ago but it had a tear in it and according to the description "smelt strongly of tobacco" so I decided to pass on that particular one!
