IHV-52-OLV - 12oz Duck Canvas Hunting Vest - Olive

Thank you @neph93 and @will6er - much appreciated! I will give this whole vest thing a try...

I never wear new clothing without washing it first - working in front-line healthcare through a pandemic will cure you of not washing your clothes...

I washed the Olive Duck Canvas vest in cold water and hung it to try. Before and after measurements of a size XL showed slight shrinkage with washing of 1/4" P2P, 1/4" waist, and 1/4" in length. That's a shrinkage of only 1.1% P2P. It still fits, but does feel a touch snugger. I imagine it will relax with time and use.

It surely will!

Got away with the L! More or less exactly the fit I had hoped for.

This is a glorious vest. Love the cut, love the colour, and the material is gorgeous. Lighter than I had anticipated and with a lovely hand. Surprisingly stretchy for a plain weave.

@neph93 great to see you Rueben and excellent fit on the vest. That should suit you well over the summer.

First proper wear and it’s already picked up a couple of real-world comments (positive, one for the general look, the other for the capaciousness of the pockets). Overall very happy!

[neph93]

That is country-gent cool, right there @ARNC Brilliant.

Thanks! If this gets the @neph93 seal of approval, I must have done something right.
