IH-526SV - 21oz Selvedge Denim Modified Type III Vest - Indigo (w/ Pockets)
-
Absolutely still in love with this one. It makes its way onto my back at least three times a week.
Not a fast fader, but it will be around for a very long time.
Now just patiently waiting for a 526SV in SBG

@94atromero vests are cool and that is a nice diverse collection you have.

Washed and wore mine yesterday for the first time in a while. I think I'm gonna try and break it in more this summer by just wearing it with a tank top and letting my arms breathe.

@94atromero
As a vest expert, what dimension do use when trying to size a vest for purchase online? I generally use the shoulder width measurement to size tops but that doesn't hold for vests. Purely chest size? I hate when the shoulders on a vest over hang but also it can't be so tight the buttonholes look stretched when buttoned up. -
Depends on the vest type. For the IHV-02 work vest style Pit to pit is most important to me since the shoulder are cut small anyway.
For the type 3 and N1 vest both the shoulder and pit to pit measurements are important to me. First I look at the shoulder size. I also don't like a vest to go past where my shoulder rounds over. Im rather small at 5'2" and 130 lbs so the corresponding chest size typically works out for me, but I also wear the type 3s open most of the time. The N1 is cut with more room and has no problem zipping up with a thick hoodie and shoulder size as described above.

@94atromero amazing aging in that indigo vest.
I have the IH-526SVOD (overdyed vest from Self Edge Austin). But I’m waiting patiently for the OG you have. Vests are so much more wearable in the Texas heat, even tho my 21 oz IH-526PJ (modified type 3 with sleeves) is surprisingly wearable in higher temps.

@El-Fanatico The last update from November states no firm plan/eta translates to it could be a while…as in a long time, but not forever. I’ve tagged the IHUK for confirmation, but don’t want you to get your hopes up.

@El-Fanatico Hi! No further updates since my last post in November 25 I am afraid. This place will be the first to know if/when that changes

Thank you both for the update!
