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 Send an email to shop@ironheart.co.uk and ask for a photo

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

Such a great piece. I’ve been wearing this more and more lately and it’s becoming a favorite.

Recently I purchased my first denim style vest. Indigo/Duck Wabash. The fit is just about perfect with the cinch pulled tight. I'm sure it will be loser when I'm layering a bit more. My question is on the cinch itself. Ive never used one like it and I don't think I'm using it right. I get it to tighten but with wear it loosens up. Each time I take it off I need to redo the cinch. I'll keep playing with it but maybe it's just the way it is? Thanks!

@CosmoSix5 I have moved you post to here. Please let me know if this is the correct version of the vest that you are inquiring about.
Can you post a picture of the back cinch and how it is currently routed? Might help to see if something is not quite right?
Thank you.

Yes correct. And my wife fixed it. I just had to run it through the mechanism lol. Simpleton<

@CosmoSix5 Fantastic and glad that it’s sorted out.

Sorry, but the anally retentive pedant that I am couldn't let this go.

Will this bleed onto my new white western shirt? Only worn the vest twice but washed once to shrink it. Also will it look stupid over said shirt
