Really bummed this didn't fit right. Just got my 526SV and it's a lot better as far as the way my body fits the vest.

Sucks when that happens. But not every piece is right for every person. I hate that I can't wear the 634 cut.

It's a challenging vest as well. That 18oz is unsanforised and stiff as a board. Can I ask, were you using it over leathers?

No, the only size left was XXL so I was going to wear it over flannel, but the arm holes were too small for that, and the area in the back of the neck was bunching up. And it buttoned up, but would unsnap whenever I sat down.

These are so sweet.

If you like fasting fading tops, the DD is your jacket. This is 2 weeks or so of effective wear:

Yeah for real. 2 weeks of wear on my loom breakers and they have about 6 months worth of denim fading.

Are these the same as the as the non selvedge version that are on rakuten? I have a pair that I purchased over 2 years ago, and I would like to get another pair eventually.

Going to have to return this. Does not fit my body well. Too stiff, and lumpy in weird places. Going to settle on the 526SV and hope it works out better.

Just bought one. Hopefully XXL fits as it was the only size left that was close for me lol. Stoked on the price though!

Congratulations. It's a great vest. If it helps, I'm an XL in most IH shirts and got an XL in this. It goes great over my OD Type III, my IHJ-37, and an IH hoodie. I can also wear it over a tee and a UHF. I'm actually tempted to get the M and wear it over just t-shirts. It's an amazing bit of clothing.

Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to update when she comes in!

Just got my pair! Holy cow they're nice! Fit is on freaking point!

Jim, doesn't that stain your bathtub?

Haha! @trail and arrow that's exactly how I hang dry my Iron heart to keep the waist from shrinking too much! Good stuff. I can't wait to get my pair!

Just ordered mime! Thank you G for making a size 40! Can't wait for these to come in!!!

I really appreciate the time and effort you put in here Giles

I understand G. Thanks for at least making a few bigger sizes. I am going try a pair of the 1955s in the next month. After a stretch, a size 40 non-selvedge 634 fits pretty good, I just want another pair that's got a little more taper to it.

Yeah, but unfortunately when a straight cut jean is sized that high, and my foot isn't an enormous size, it fits like a boot cut jean. I think I'm going to give the 1955 a try soon though.

I guess you don't move a lot of 40+ waist jeans. I had to turn to Japan to find the 666-xhs in a 40. Still a bit too small. Is the demand not there for sizes over 40?

Thanks G and Seul! I don't plan on taking them off anytime soon. lol!

Just picked up a pair I had ordered. Let the stretching begin! How much do y'all think the top block will stretch? I can barley button them. I almost need pliers.
