IHV-02-BLK - 12oz Wabash/Duck Work Vest - Black/Black

^^ Would appeal to me too!

Scored this from @BULLITT BEE (thanks again, dude!) in an XXL (I'm an XL/L in vests) just to see. It was far to big in the chest but the length was perfect. A couple of weeks with the local seamstress, and voilá. She's taken it in at the sides to a 54cm p2p, and not touched the shoulders, so the silhouette is different to the OG. I'm happy. This is my happy face:

Agree, wish mine was that long on me…
Thank you, gentlemen. I'm satisfied enough that I'm considering buying the indigo and getting the same job done.

Looks awesome dude.

Mighty good lookin' on you, Sir! The length was also good for me, but the buttons on the chest were hanging on to dear life. I'm glad it's gone to a good home.

Bit of documentation for the greater good:
In conjunction with buying (yet another) 02-IND I did a test wash of my tailored 02-BLK. It's an XXL that I had taken in from 56,5cm p2p to 54cm p2p. The length was 67,6. I washed at 50c and 500 rpm in a European front loader. then let it drip dry, and got the following results:
Post tailoring/prewash –-> Post wash
P2P: 54,5cm --------------> 53,6cm
Front length 67,6 ---------> 66cmSo shrinkage to be had with a warmish wash.

@Cutlasshound, @neph93, @Graeme
A couple of questions on fit and sizing if you don't mind! I want to order this but am stuck deciding if an XL or XXL will fit best. I have wide shoulders but a relatively shorter torso and am trying to fit this vest snug (but not restrictive) while also making sure the length is such that you can still see at least some of a belt buckle at the bottom.
The only IH shirt I have is the IHSH-156 Western in Charcoal and I had to return the XL for an XXL purely due to the shoulders being tight and the chest slightly snug (all other measurements were perfect). I could have lived with it but, given the feedback that it would shrink when washed, I was recommended to size up to an XXL.
Would you gents mind sharing your shoulder, P2P, and height measurements? And also if you own the IHSH-156 that would greatly help me understand what would work best for me.
@Graeme did you end up going with the XL or XXL? How did you find the fit?
Sorry for the long post but I've never bought a vest without trying it on first so I'm struggling to understand the fit. Cheers!
