IHV-02-BLK - 12oz Wabash/Duck Work Vest - Black/Black

[Giles]

Dohhhhh - being fixed now…

[Bluegrass]

No matter, I ordered it.  I love vests.  I'm always a XXX in IH, and if it's a little bit roomy I can cinch it.

We saw….........It went straight from the measuring table into a blue bag......

Small world we live in!!    Can't wait to get this.

Looking forward to fit pics Bluegrass .

First impression, I really like it, but still not sure how/when to wear it.  Fit is a little bit funky - seems quite a bit roomier than my normal XXXL but I couldn't really size down imo due to the length - I have a pretty long torso anyway.  I cinched it in the back and I think that works pretty well.  I love the material - it feels more broken-in than a lot of IH heavy gear.  Very solid/substantial but still quite pliable.

Here are a couple of pics wearing it over a thin t-shirt, it might work/look better with a beefier cotton t-shirt.  You can see how much I had to cinch it in the back.  I actually could pull it even tighter.

And here it is with a heavy flannel… I tried buttoning it with the flannel and it didn't look good - almost seems like you need to tuck your under-shirt in when you button it?  I might try it with my Johnny Cash or chambray work shirt.  First world problems.

I'd like to see some more pics of how other folks use this vest.

I really like the look of it over the tee and it doesn't look bad with the flannel either IMO. When the front of my shirt ends just past the belt line I'll button up. If there is too much front and tail I leave it open. I imagine it would look cool with a chambray (white, blue, red) or a lighter colored flannel. For inspiration check out the other vest threads, I know there are some good looks there!

[Bluegrass]

Thanks Anesthetist, I will peruse the other vest threads… First non-denim vest for me.

Looks great to me @bluegrass. I'm having the same conundrum with this one! Really want it but not sure how I would wear it. Your pics may have just tipped me closer to the edge though! Ps I have seen a few shots of non denim vests being worn with the 13 and the combo of the wabash and the chambray looks pretty sweet!

Glad to hear you are wearing it! Would like to see some pics when it starts to show some evo.

[Bluegrass]

Will do it for sure….

[Bluegrass]

Update on Wabby vest - no real evo - but I have been wearing it a bunch (I just love vests!).  It is too short for me esp. with lower wasted pants like these Roys, but fuck it, I don't care.

[JCMx800]

Yeah feck it, I like the look!!!

[jock1624]

Hello all , need your input here lads and lassies . Have this bad boy in L and feel like it may be a tad short . Of course my other vests are all far longer , as you can see in the other photo . So wondering if I size up to an XL (which is not that much longer really ) if that will cure my ailment - fashionably speaking .

Thanks,gracias,merci,arigato

Bluco vest

Yours looks like a skirt compared to mine!  IMO it seems like sizing up more the vest would be way too big - you'd be swimming in it…  I think it looks good - I like that length better than your other vest personally.  It comes right to the top of your britches and still shows off your nice belt buckle.

[Cutlasshound]

I agree with @Bluegrass!
