IHV-03-BRN - 17oz Cotton Duck Work Vest - Brown

@Twistlock @Danimal506 @Oaktavia @CosmoSix5 Thank you dear friends thank you

The lesson here for me is not new: always trust the IH numbers. One of the things IH figured out from the start is that a reliable fit is just as important as the premium product. It's still the case that so many other fine Japanese brands really don't offer a "serious" fit chart. I compared this vest with the recent Sashiko and an older Wabash example, and that made ordering the correct size a bit "odd" (Am I realllly a XXL?) but the chart makes it clear and you should more (and less) ignore the tag size.

@worn2fade awesome choice man

@Oaktavia Thanks dude. It was difficult grabbing something that wasn’t indigo or black since it’s what I’m so accustomed to wearing but I convinced myself this vest would look dope with the contrast stitching on the 33 I’m currently rocking. I sold my CPO and miss having extra pockets so this seemed like a solid buy. Awesome intro to duck as well.
-
@worn2fade the brown duck pairs marvelously with indigo and the pockets make everything more convenient.

Alright folks, just got the vest in but I honestly have no idea how I feel about it. The plan was to wear it on top of the western full time but I feel like I look kind of crazy since the western is much longer than the vest in the back.
I love how it looks with a T but realistically, I’d never wear it this way because I always have my western on and I carry things on my hip that I don’t want anyone to see.
Do you guys think It looks weird on top of the untucked western?
I added the pics of it with the T-shirt & the western tucked in for fun, but I truly need some insight if I look off with the western untucked and the vest on top.
-
@worn2fade honestly not a fan of it over the western unless tucked in. Looks fantastic over the t-shirt and you could try wearing the western over the vest as a overshirt/CPO…

Yes, definitely give this a shot. It's how I usually wear my vests of the same cut. Over a tucked in tshirt under a western or CPO unbuttoned or snapped.
I also quite love the way the vest is styled over an untucked shirt in the image below. Buttoned up top and loosely goosey below. It just looks casual as can be and completely comfortable with one's self. I don't have a pic of me wearing my setup but I have a IHSH-136 I style this way with my IHV-02-DD.

and get well soon
