I wish I could look at this pattern and not think of Pugsley Addams.

I'll be adding pictures of me in mine soon. Hopefully I'll cure you of that [emoji28]

I have to confess to having loved it from the moment I saw it. When G said he wasn't bringing them over I was gutted, but he went and sorted me out anyway. Legend.
I'm pretty sure I'm not "cool" enough to pull it off, but fekk it, I'll only be 42 once…

I actually would get this in a dark solid colour.

Quick and dirty (the mirror AND the photo's):
Big thanks to Giles for picking this up for me (twice[emoji16]). The XL was undoubtedly the way to go.

Thank you gentlemen, I appreciate your kind words, (også de som er på norsk @hajduk
)!Bit of a review after the first day wearing it: It's chest/length ratio is a little trimmer than other IH vests, so it's a different fit than the IHV-02, for example. This suits the material. Anyone familiar with the IHTB-01/05/06 will know that this in wonderfully soft and heavy, so it drapes really nicely on the body. These two aspects combine so that it feels almost like an armless cardigan, more than a vest. It'll be interesting to see how it keeps its shape with a lot of wear, though.
Whenever I get my hands on an IH product there is always a surprise detail, one thing that I wasn't expecting to make an impression, but that really stands out for me. In this case it's the constructional stitching. It's black, subtle and only visible on the grey, but very well done and finishes the garment beautifully, making it more stylish than something in this material could be expected to be. Like @tmg says, it isn't as "in your face" in real life, as the bold stripes might lead you to believe, and despite it being jersey cotton, you could absolutely dress it up if you wanted to, white shirt underneath, black jacket over the top, for example.
I'll be wearing it with the ducks and black boots like today, but also with my SBG BB's. When it comes to tops, in addition to tees, I'll try wearing it over my IH Henleys and my IHSH-67, although the western yoke might fekk that plan up. In which case I'll have to buy the white 119 I've been trying to pretend isn't in stock. Also the IHTL's are looking at me screaming "cool combo, buy me". I'd better log off now….
In short, I'm pleased.

great review. I like cardigans more than mister rogers, may have to take a look at this . . . .
