IHV-50-IND - 14oz Sashiko Dobby Cloth / Duck Work Vest - Indigo

There must have been a return because a restock notice was in my box this morning. It took about 11 seconds for me to pull the trigger (it'da' been faster if my connection were better). I had my eye on this from the outset and...missed it. Happy fella' here. I often wear the wabash vests with an old school knit tie and white button down Oxford, and I'll post a comparable fit here when the occasion arises. Think: moto-thug professor look. Looking forward to that telltale shipping notice.

@Mizmazzle yeah it may not be for you. How about this, you send me the vest and I'll wear it around for a bit and upload some styling options for you?

Mark, just wear it. What's the worst that could happen? someone calls you a loser?

[John Galt]

@Mizmazzle you could go back to wearing your fast fashion stuff and no one will ever give you a second look.

[Mister_Brue]

Wore mine for the first time over the weekend. I got the puzzled look. “Have I seen that one before?”

[Mizmazzle]

@jordanscollected haha. I’ve got some practice wearing it now under my (natty veg tanned) belt. Just a matter of figuring out how to make it my own thing!

I think we all might be a bunch of dorks round these parts anyway…I’ll just tell anyone who teases me my internet style friends think I look cool!

[Mizmazzle]

@Mister_Brue puzzled look from the Mrs. or society at large?

[Mister_Brue]

@Mizmazzle Oh, the other half. One I’d tucked away when it arrived. You know the score…

[John Galt]

@Mizmazzle this is the way

[Mizmazzle]

@Mister_Brue haha. Yup! I know that look from the wife all too well myself. “What this!? Oh I’ve had this for a long time!”

[Mizmazzle]

@John-Galt boom!!!

[Filson]

I have it too.

Awesome fit @Filson! I've had mine since the end of May and it's such an awesome piece.

[Filson]

@jmp777 Thank you, I have size XXXL.

[mecken88]

Do people generally size up on this or do they fit similarly to your regular IH size?

I’m usually size a large in jackets and shirt. With often a chest measurement flat between 22-22.5”

But looking at these size charts a large has a 20,5” measured pit-to-pit.

So for me to compare to my regular shirt size I would have needed at least a size XL (21.6”) or XXL (22.4”)

For those that own one, What’s your take on the fit?

[jmp777]

@mecken88
I’ve learned that I’m definitely a large. I picked this up in a medium though as I wanted it to be quite fitted.

[Mister_Brue]

@mecken88 I went TTS.

I normally go for 20’ or just under for shoulders and 24’ or just under for chest but I’m completely lost on what that would translate into for a vest.
Never really worn one before
