IH-526V-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Type III Vest - Indigo

[Kill switch]

Ahhh man my vest story ain’t nowhere near as cool as that, I just wear mine when I ride. Those inside pockets are deep and they come in handy. It’s a badass vest that damn near feels bulletproof

@neph93:

Worn XHS vests are obviously like the nr.2 bus where I live. You can wait ages and not see one then two come along at once. Very nice indeed @The_Bourbon_Denim_Guy

I wear mine whenever the weather allows me but still not a lot of fading going on. This mofo takes a while to break in

I have upgraded to a bigger size, am thinking shall I soak or not
@neph93 what your opinion…

Has anyone soak... their first, or worn raw

It should shrink in line with jeans. The only experience I have of shrinking type III's is with my IHV-21. It is was the old 18oz denim, but lined. The lining made shrinkage harder but I gave it a super hot wash which did the job.

I say go for it, especially if you'd like it a little more trim.

As a matter of interest, what are you doing with your old one? 

[Kasi]

It’s hot soak now… even GAH snaps are shining

[Kasi]

Last time I brought this vest I worn it RAW, felt very uncomfortable button kept popping open.
Am starting all over again.
Now I after soak it this time fall’s in the right place how it should be crunch up in length

Nailed it mate. Great vest fit.

When the rich gets richer..

@Giles I did says I would do this when the time is right.

Thanks to @Graham and @Chesson for the effort and hard work to pimp it.

Check it out the full house

[neph93]

Congratulations @Kasi. Incredible stuff!

[Giles]

WOW

[jordanscollected]

@Kasi your wardrobe is the modern day version of someone having a chest of the finest silks and fabrics from around the world in their attic just waiting to be passed down for generations.

That's impressive. Even Herrods doesn't have a nice enough shop to house this vest.

one more quip. that's not the full house, it's a royal flush

[vaquero357]

…9 buttons! Wow! is right!

...wheres my calculator, better not let that one out of your site @Kasi!

[vaquero357]

…10 buttons!!! I missed one!

[motojobobo]

10 GAH SNAPS!!! Wow @Kasi , your wife surely hasn’t signed up to the forum I gather. 

Stellar pimping there.

[Jett129]

The Full House is the perfect name for that vest. If that's not Denim Porn,then I don't know what is. Well done.

Kasi, looks amazing, I’ve been wanting to do the same thing with mine!

[John Galt]

Any plans to restock these at some point or going extinct?
