Brother, did you go TTS on this or did you size down?

Anyone else who owns this vest, I’d love to hear from ya. I found one in stock but it’s a large and I typically do XL in westerns. P2P is kinda scaring me but I know in vest sizing down is common.

Please chime in.

Did you guys go TTS to your IH tops or did yall size down?

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

@worn2fade I have the tagged Large sample. I reckon around 90% of my IH shirts are tagged Large.

I bought a medium IHV-02-IND years ago (which I later sold). It fit, but was tight to the point of being borderline uncomfortable. If in between sizes in the future, I’d buy the larger size and use the cinch.

@worn2fade

@ShopatIronHeart was this vest a one off? Trying to see if there’s any chance of a restock before even considering paying more than retail for one

@worn2fade this was a seasonal release and to play the odds…if you can find one now and you really want it…no telling when/if.

@worn2fade I went TTS, which for me is always 4XL in Iron Heart shirts, jackets, or vest. The chest P2P measurements on vests always made me a bit nervous, because they are usually 2“ less than on shirts. But since the arm holes are wider on vests than on shirts, the P2P measurement is going to be a bit smaller on a vest. I was always worried the vests would be too tight on me, but once I tried on one, I found they fit just right. I would NOT recommend sizing down.

Anyway, as @goosehd said, no telling when/if this vest will ever come back, so up to you.

@Alex_24 angry souls has it in an XL but after shipping it’s $400USD + tariffs. They said they’d help out with the tariffs but it’s still hard to drop 400 bones on a vest lol. I’m deciding between this one and the IHV-03-BRN I found in stock. We’ll see.

Thanks for the sizing advice!

@worn2fade I'm typically a XXL in IH flannels and denim shirts, sometimes close to an XL but I find it's usually a little too small when I do size down due to tightness under the arm pits.

I have this vest in XXL and I do wonder if an XL wouldn't have been better for a slimmer fit, I don't think it would have the same fit issues as a sized down shirt due being a vest. Still get plenty of use from it as is though.

Difficult to capture the color accurately, but here it is after lots of wearing and 1x wash:

Perfect day for this piece.

Do they give in slightly at all in the pit to pit area with wear?

[jmp777]

@Damocles I feel like mine did a little bit. Could be that I’m used to it. Wish that I’d grabbed an L instead of an M, but I was so new to Iron Heart sizing at the time and went with my US sizing.
