If I was ever going to be manly enough to wear a vest, this would be it. Unfortunately I don’t think I’m manly enough yet. I wish I was though.

@DeeDee85 I felt the same and initially dipped my toe in with a second hand IH-9526V that I got for a steal on eBay a while back. It is a little larger than ideal but consequently works great over an IH hoodie. This has helped me to get used to the concept of wearing a vest. I'm probably (hopefully) going to get one of these in a smaller size / sized to wear over a tee or IH waffle henley (aiming for the kind of fit that @neph93 showcases in this very thread, which I think is superb).
I think you would quite easily pull one of these off, and plenty of fantastic shirts already in your possession to pair this with!

[DeeDee85]

@long_john86 thanks for the gentle nudge if it did happen I think I’d go for it over a waffle thermal rather than a tee.. if I ever make it down to gosport I’ll try one on with a few different bits and bobs and see what works

[long_john86]

@DeeDee85 the most gentle of nudges is often all it takes
Yeah getting that opportunity in person to just put a some sizing/fit queries to rest in Gosport would be awesome! Until then, I’ll be paying my £7 return label for ordering two sizes

@long_john86 I think convincing the wife I’m a “vest guy” is my main obstacle here

@Wlemon:

Looks stunning, @neph93. Just curious, how do you size your vest? Do you get your "normal" IH size? I always have noticed the pit to pit and other measurements are always a little different

The key is not to equate p2p on a vest to p2p on a shirt. As a rule the armholes on vests are bigger than on shirts and therefore lower down. The measurement you need is often smaller as a result.

The next thing is length. Some people want vests in or even above the belt, some want a waistcoat fit where the vest covers the waistband and belt. So this is important to check too.

I wish I'd have seen this sooner! Very good insight.
