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

[ARNC]

I wasn’t going to share this (vest delivered to the office yesterday, no IH stuff with me until I go home tonight, originally taken for my benefit because eyes lie but photos don’t) but it might help with the sizing discussion. Feel free to laugh at the ridiculous combo! I think it will be good over a slightly thicker / more appropriate shirt.

@ARNC brilliant!!

@ARNC The fit looks great - how does it feel? At least the colours work in your outfit!

[ARNC]

@MarkNo that combo is never to be repeated

It feels great. Obviously lighter than the regular 17oz duck and with its own character. I guess it will provide a little extra warmth but I suspect its real strength will be the pockets on days when a jacket is too much.

@ARNC I think over a heavy shirt it will be perfect! But FWIW I dig the formal hunter vibe going on

@Anesthetist thanks!

Unbutton the 3rd hole it looks better imo …. Trust me

@Jaffy718 while I would do that with nearly every vest I own, I will not with this one. The number, size and placement of the buttons make it unnecessary. The height of the lowest button on the placket means the practicality of an opening is still there, and three large buttons mean it would be counter productive in terms of style.

@Jaffy718 @neph93 i had pretty much the same thought process. The third button hits a good way about the waist and I think it looks odd leaving it open. It’s too high to make any functional difference (if you believe the old story about Edward VII).

Not sure if this is the right place to raise that interest but I would be in for an untucked shirt with copper snaps with this color/material
