IHV-02-IND - 12oz Wabash/Duck Work Vest - Indigo/Navy
-
Oh sweet, sweet day. After one thing and another (not least the Norwegian postal service fekking up) my IHV-02-IND arrived today. And it's a thing of beauty. Pics later (when the wife goes out
)For now I'd like to say thanks to @Giles for picking the right size for the kind of fit I wanted. Good work, Mr Padmore, good work.

The by-now-obligatory shite iPhone pic from the bogs at work (notice the pimping on the phone).
Couldn't be any smaller and I'm nervous of shrinkage, but this is definitely the fit I wanted. I sacrificed length for a well-fitted chest and got lucky on there too. Hint of belt buckle at the front and just meets/covers the belt at the back on my 666D and BB-SBG. Going to have to steer clear of 777's in the future though.
Beautiful fabric and of course well-made, but also surprisingly delicate. I'm very pleased.

Congrats @neph93! Absolutely superb fit Sir….
I wouldn't want it any longer, nice for the buckle to show and and you get to sit down without bending much of the bottom part when bottomed up.
You could add an inch or 2 in theory but I think yours is how it is supposed to fit - perfect in my book [emoji106][emoji106] -
Cheers @zatenm
I think a bit of belt, especially buckle is fine, good looking in fact, but too much shirt showing at the back is want I wanted to avoid, so this worked out well.
Just checked out your fit pics for the 02DD and we've come up about the same length-wise. I guess you must be taller than me (at least relative to weight) as it turns out the 02DD is in fact longer than the 02IND/BLK by a good 5cm so I might give that one a miss, which is a shame as it looks great. On the other hand it could be worn with lower rise bottoms… ::)

Very similar fits indeed! The shorter length unfortunately puts the wabbies (and most other IH vests) out of my reach.
Luckily, I could get away with ONE great vest that works (courtesy of Trail and arrow it must be said :D).
The wabby is such a beautiful piece though..! Wear it in good health Sir and do post some pics when you get the time -
Same here! Common problem it seems [emoji1]

Whaddya mean "as opposed to"? Do I have to choose one? Because nobody told me that…
It occurs to me that this could be a quite a popular thread in it's own right. It also occurs to me that it would have to be password protected and possibly anonymous
