@Max:

Somebody needs to talk me out of this 

Talk you out of it? I may well join you [emoji847]

[Max Power]

@neph93 what size are you going for? I think we're the same size (XL), so it might be tough to get one anyway.
My wife always wanted me to buy the IHJ46 so I think I could get away with a vest in that fabric

It's a wonderful vest…talking out is difficult!

I’d be an XL over layers but I’d want this as a summer vest over a tee so probably large or maybe even medium.  Everyone enjoys a nice bit of duck… [emoji1]

[Max Power]

Good, L for you and XL for me
@marlin your Posts made me consider it in the first place, i looks awesome with good wear

Restock due today…....

[Max Power]

Ok. You're really doing you're best, do you?

However I'm a bit unsure about the size. XL is perfect in all dimensions besides the chest, which is around 0,5" smaller than on every other vest / jacket I own. I figure that this won't be an issue if I wear it open, but as I intend to layer it it might end up too snug. XXL is way too big on the other Hand. I'll give it a try nevertheless and hope for the best.

Well, that's a flawless timing! Must be a sign as well…it's supposed to be.  ;):D @Max Power

RESTOCK

Can't wait for it to arrive and I hope XL works out I'm just unsure wetehr to put patches on it immediately (I think some White ones from branca Studio would look awesome), but then I'm somewhat hesitant to do that on a pristine vest. Also, as duck ages it might leave some darker spots in case I remove them some time… 1st world problems.

[neph93]

Those will be perfect. I say patch it now. The duck ages quickly and the patches should wear in with it. I really want one myself but I can’t swing it right now…

[Max Power]

Will see what I can do, thanks @neph93

[Max Power]

Cat & wife approved 

[neph93]

Perfect fit @Max Power  amazing that it looks so good with a tee but you can still get a hoodie under it.

I didn’t realise that the chest comes up smaller on this than on other vests. I’m unsure whether I should go XL or L.

[neph93]

Do we know what @Sam is wearing in the newer shop photos? The text still refers to young Patrick in his XS…

[metz]

Vest looks perfect @Max Power 

[Alex]

I'd guess medium @neph93 as that is the one in the rest of the photos. @sam, can you confirm and fix the product please

@Max Power Did they custom make that vest for you,or what. Didn’t know you were a Black Sabbath fan,saw them many times including their very first show in the US in a bar. My ears are still ringing.

[Max Power]

Thanks a lot guys!
I love that vest, it will only look better when the folds have worn out.
@neph93 i wear a pretty thin hoodie underneath but think even my heavy stuff would work. Will take a few more pics when i tried… My superblack vest in L and the 21oz indigo vest XL and the 2526V fits similar.
@Jett129 to be honest i discovered them late, when i got into metal over 20 years ago i skipped a lot of great pioneers because i thought they weren't heavy enough. How wrong was I. The vest will definitely get my iommi pin.
