    Vests are tricky and personal to each person tastes and interests.  Are you layering over a t-shirt, a t-shirt plus a UHF, over a jacket, etc…It all depends on how you're going to wear it as well as the overall look you are going for.

    Phone the shop or drop them an email with your thoughts and concerns and they are always more than helpful.  They are always the number one resource you should be checking with.

        @the246guy:

        I'm considering adding my first IH vest and after looking at the size chart, the measurements point to L. I'm normally an M on UHF's. I compared this vest size chart against my recent purchase of the IHSH-295 BB and the measurements point that I should go with an L. Is my assumption correct?

        Where do I find the stockists for these in Germany? IH Hamburg has them but no L in stock.

        Vest measurements are tricky to look at cause the armpit is typically cut higher and therefore look smaller, I think. I have found that for IH vests the same size or even a size down from my flannel size is best.

          I can echo the same advice above. My additional input is that I've found going to a smaller p2p that you might with a jacket or shirt is less problematic for me because there's no issues with tightness across the back due to reaching with not having sleeves. Also the couple of numbers worth paying more attention to are the length and opening. For me that really helped determine how and where the vest would sit and layer or not.

            Thanks for all your suggestions. I went with an M. Will see how it fits.

              So my question for anyone who has this vest is the shoulders. The 3XL measurements are perfect for me but I was wondering how the shoulders would sit. If they are the same as my type 3 jacket would they stick up because I don’t have sleeves pulling them down? My type 3 has 20.4 shoulders and it’s perfect. I just want to know if maybe they’re sloped down more than a jacket. I think I could get away with a 2XL. Thanks!

              Less is more

                I have this vest and the 526J type III in the same size (42), and the 526J is about 1/2"-1" or so wider in the shoulders than the vest.

                  I went with the same size as my UHF's and the fit is indeed very much perfect.

                    Asking for your opinion on the fit. Is it short from the length? Every other measurement is spot on for me. Sorry for the crappy lighting.

                      If the chest fits it is the right size for you. Might point is the vest is not too short, but wearing long shirts under type III vests will result in a lot of shirt tail showing.If that is not your thing then this is not a great combo.

                        it's hard to tell from that view, but I'm also being thrown by where the sleeves appear to be falling compared to the wrist which has me questioning the length of the shirt as well, since we can't see the belt line.  But the width across your body looks spot on. Is that done up with all the buttons fastened?

                          That exactly is my problem with some of my IH shirts where the sleeves end up being smaller after a few washes. I'm wearing my IH-246-NIN which is the most worn IH shirt and the sleeves on them have probably takes some shrinkage after repeated wash cycles. I have been sizing a Small on most of the IH shirts, but these days I realized that I should go with an M. Size M looks boxy on certain areas, but they kind of settle down to being a perfect fit after a few washes.

                          Regarding the vest, I feel that even though there is some visible tail length of the shirt, I'm not that much disturbed by it.

                          @pechelman Yes, that is done with all the buttons fastened.

                            A trucker kinda vest/jacket is meant to be short that’s how they are invented in the time cause all of the denims back in the time were worn a lot higher then we wear them now a days. It takes some getting used to, at least that’s my experience. But like someone pointed out i would be more concerned about the length on the sleeves of your shirt. For me, that would be to short. I don’t wanna be rude but just give you my opinion. For the vest i would say that you have a good fit and you gonna enjoy it 🙂

                              Monkey arms and shorter sleeve lengths on Size Small IH shirts are to be complained for that short sleeve length on that shirt. But I got used to it and it does not bother me that much anymore as it used to.

                                      If any of the Dice collab items are patches sold separately and not already on a garment then I know exactly where they’re going. Especially a large back patch. 🤘
