1st wear to the office…...
New to vests (at least in the workplace), I was concerned it would draw too much attention [emoji55] but it was more than fine [emoji106]
Train via Wimbledon?
Looks great btw

Thanks! I'm tall but slim and these come pretty long, so I went Small @Appfaff
But in most IH Westerns, I'm a(smallish) Medium.
It's not tight at all with a regular office shirt or an IH T (7.5oz) but I wouldn't layer a 12oz IH shirt under it. I might never wash it [emoji55]Thank you @sabergirl [emoji4]

Day 2 at the office for my V-02DD.. Love this piece, the only vest I'll ever need [emoji8]
(Apologies for the WC background)

I used to be local to @zatenm and @Cutlasshound - I lived in various places in East Sheen, Richmond and Teddington. These days I live in Richmond, but it's the antipodean one.
Nice vest.
-
Thanks, it really is a special piece and I can't recommend it enough!
Had to look up the word ('antipodean') @Graeme -
just echoing everyone else, fit is great on you @zatenm I like the other shirt better though
oh I had to look up that word as well, freckin' @Graeme
@Anesthetist yours fits great as well, cheer up buddy, hahahahaha
-
Very kind @madmonday
I prefer the other shirt as well
I find colour on the vest is very versatile and can be paired with nearly any shirt as long as you wear denim bottoms or better yet, its matching 816s ::) -

Good way to break it in @Anesthetist - these clothes are after-all, workkwear. And the flip side is @zatenm rocking it in the office! Way cool.

Great work with pics on this thread @Anesthetist @zatenm @Bluegrass .
Can anyone give me an estimate as to how much shrink there is in this vest? And is it mostly in the length or the chest as well?

Unfortunately I can't comment much as I've only given mine a soak and I don't think I've noticed much appreciable shrinkage. I think it was a lot stiffer at first which made me think it had shrunk but in hindsight it doesn't feel any snugger. I may yet give mine a hot soak with light agitation but I'm very cautious so I don't create any marbling.

I hear you on that. I see @georgeel is talking about an 1" of shrinkage on what I guess is a small/medium. I'm a little wary having chosen poorly on my 02-IND, but if I fit this based on published measurements then I'm an L for a snug fit, based on the idea that I'll never wash it. Either that or XL to be safe (and boring
)
