IHV-02DD - Double Indigo Duck Vest

[Cutlasshound]

@zatenm:

Thanks! I'm tall but slim and these come pretty long, so I went Small @Appfaff
But in most IH Westerns, I'm a(smallish) Medium.
It's not tight at all with a regular office shirt or an IH T (7.5oz) but I wouldn't layer a 12oz IH shirt under it. I might never wash it [emoji55]

Thank you @sabergirl [emoji4]

Day 2 at the office for my V-02DD.. Love this piece, the only vest I'll ever need [emoji8]

(Apologies for the WC background)

I used to be local to @zatenm and @Cutlasshound - I lived in various places in East Sheen, Richmond and Teddington. These days I live in Richmond, but it's the antipodean one.

Nice vest.

[zatenm]

Thanks, it really is a special piece and I can't recommend it enough!
Had to look up the word ('antipodean') @Graeme

[madmonday]

just echoing everyone else, fit is great on you @zatenm I like the other shirt better though 

oh I had to look up that word as well, freckin' @Graeme

@Anesthetist yours fits great as well, cheer up buddy, hahahahaha

[zatenm]

Very kind @madmonday 
I prefer the other shirt as well 
I find colour on the vest is very versatile and can be paired with nearly any shirt as long as you wear denim bottoms or better yet, its matching 816s  ::)

I'm very educational these days.

Good way to break it in @Anesthetist - these clothes are after-all, workkwear.  And the flip side is @zatenm rocking it in the office!  Way cool.

Great work with pics on this thread @Anesthetist @zatenm @Bluegrass .

Can anyone give me an estimate as to how much shrink there is in this vest? And is it mostly in the length or the chest as well?

Unfortunately I can't comment much as I've only given mine a soak and I don't think I've noticed much appreciable shrinkage. I think it was a lot stiffer at first which made me think it had shrunk but in hindsight it doesn't feel any snugger. I may yet give mine a hot soak with light agitation but I'm very cautious so I don't create any marbling.

mine hasn't touched water yet.  try not too…...

I hear you on that. I see @georgeel is talking about an 1" of shrinkage on what I guess is a small/medium. I'm a little wary having chosen poorly on my 02-IND, but if I fit this based on published measurements then I'm an L for a snug fit, based on the idea that I'll never wash it. Either that or XL to be safe (and boring )

[Appfaff]

@neph93 - looks like there is only 1 XL left in shop - I did my part and removed the XXL from stock so you wouldn't be tempted to size up too much

Goes for mine as well @neph93
But I did read somewhere that is does shrink quite a bit in hot water (possibly @georgeel ?)
I remember because that comment got me seriously concerned about shrinking and decided never to wash it if at all possible
