      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]

            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.

                just echoing everyone else, fit is great on you @zatenm I like the other shirt better though  😉

                  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 😉 )

                                      @neph93 - looks like there is only 1 XL left in shop - I did my part and removed the XXL from stock so you wouldn't be tempted to size up too much 🙂

                                            Goes for mine as well @neph93
                                            But I did read somewhere that is does shrink quite a bit in hot water (possibly @georgeel ?)
                                            I remember because that comment got me seriously concerned about shrinking and decided never to wash it if at all possible
