@ARNC The fit looks great - how does it feel? At least the colours work in your outfit!

@ARNC Thank you - and for you too!

I just purchased an XXL and should have it in Toronto next week. I will report back on how it works out. Cheers!

Many thanks for your replies @Anesthetist & @ARNC.
This will be my first vest so I have nothing to compare to.
I think that your reasoning @ARNC is very sound about the P2P measurement being a little higher on the body than other vests due to a smaller arm opening. I will therefore go with my work shirt size XXL instead of sizing down to XL. And this will leave room for a Chambray shirt and t-shirt underneath.
In my experience all IH products shrink a little after washing even in cold water, so best not to go too small.

Thanks @VegaS10 - without trying them on I would be hesitant to size up and purchase them sight unseen. Maybe next time...

Though I have many IH jeans, shirts, as well as the incredible N1 - I have never bought a vest. But this green looks too good to pass up - it would look fabulous over a Chambray shirt or a Foxfibre t-shirt.
I need some guidance on choosing the correct size. For IH shirts XXL fits me well (I'm 5'8", 192 lbs - no longer as svelte at 67). From the measurements of this vest I could go with either XL (23" pit-pit) or XXL (24" p-p). I think the XL might be a better fit and the XXL too loose. What do you advise?
How do people generally size vests compared to their shirt sizes?

I have a growing collection of IH 888 jeans in size 36 (14oz, 18oz, 21oz). They are fantastically well made and a joy to wear.
They usually measure true to size - so very close to 36" in size 36 (17.6 - 18" across waist). These new 17oz natural indigo jeans measure small according to the chart - a size 36 is 34.8", so actually a size 35 not 36. And the next size up (38) measures at 37" - which is too big.
Have people found these 17oz jeans to fit snugger that your usual size in 888 or have you had to size up from your usual size?

Many thanks for the explanations - I managed to snag a pair of 1955s earlier today in my usual size, all my other IH jeans being 888s in 14, 18 and 21oz.

Wow - that drop disappeared quickly!

How does the 1955 cut compare to the 888. It looks like the 1955 has a higher rise but less tapered at the hem - or are they more similar?

Thx - I'm in Canada - it is not a good time to be buying from the US...

Wow - these shorts sold out very quickly - is there a restock in the pipeline?

Many thanks - glad to hear that it does not seem odd to tuck-in an IH work shirt - I've just never done it...

Though I always wear my Iron Heart Work Shirts untucked, I could imagine wearing this shirt under a blazer/sports jacket, in which case I would want to tuck it in. Does anyone wear Iron Heart Work Shirts tucked-in?

Does anyone wear this tucked-in - under a blazer/sports jacket?
