IH-9526V - 21oz Non-Fade Denim Type III Vest - Superblack

[crankyfart]

finally got my hands on this beast after hesitating for quite awhile. despite having some sizing issue initially, i finally got my hands on this beast that fits me perfectly or at least i like the fit of mine.

while waiting to board the Eurostar to Paris with my bright orange luggage.

Volcano, what size did you end up going with?

[Finn666]

@volcano:

after reading the thread twice, i reckon i'd get a medium since my chest measures 40" and well if it turns out too big, i'd return it to G for a small.

now i just can't wait for the parcel to arrive from the castle. its got my IHM-02 and this IH-9526V in it. 

[Qinhan]

Oops.  Thanks Finn.

And then I advised him to get an S and it was too small.  Damn

[Qinhan]

Volcano, do you reckon you've got enough room to layer a hoodie underneath that vest?

thanks buddy. after seeing so many fantastic fits of this beast, i knew i can't wait any longer. first thing that i love about this jacket is the side pockets! i was thinking, "yay! deep enough for a pack of cigs! ;D"

a hoody? hmm i reckon i could but its gonna be pretty snug fit. at the moment i wear it with my medium IHSH-33 and a hanes beefy tee under it. after all these, there's still space for comfort and jumping around. so it depends on your hoodie. if its bloody damn thick like 2-3 fingers, i can still fit in. but anything thicker than that, i'll probably suffocate myself.

however because my waist is 33" the last bottom button have to be unbuttoned whenever i wanna side down and lay back. else the stiff vest would go up and make me look like im shrinking inside the vest.

btw, i wear a medium in all my IH clothes. and here's my measurement to help.

shoulders - 17.4"
chest - 40 to 40-5" there about
waist - 33"
height - 174 cm or 5.7 ft
weight - 82kg (yes i know, im fat! ;D)

hope this helps.

I'd go for a Medium in this

[rocket]

and I'm sure after this you would return it for a Large….

again for fitting, imo only go down one if you wanna wear it exclusive open with only a tee under. If you want to be able to button it up and or layer it and stay comfy, go for your normal size...

[Max Power]

Thanks for the advice…I just think a vest looks better when it fits snug and I think I can do M, at least I can in Levi's vests.

[Finn666]

tbh i think i wouldn´t cop a medium if i was you…L is totally the way to go with imo. you still can wear it with just a t or layer with a t/shirt or hoodie combo...i think i´d choose the "bigger" size to make it more versatile instead of just being able to wear it with a t alone!

[rocket]

problem is that if you go down, you won't be able to layer at all. For example I could prob get into a Small, but it would be really tight and I wouldn't be able to button it… But as always, it for sure depends on your own build... safe way = your normal size
