Perfect look. I like this vest so much.

@brentkuz:

I wear an XL in the 62, 121, 33, 107. A large for the 102 and XXL for the 127.

I'm thinking large or XL. I will not be wearing it over leathers or that. More over just a button down or UHF.

I am leaning to the large the measurements are close to an unlined vest I have.

Question does the pile make it a smaller tighter fit due to the heft etc. That will make my difference between large and XL.

I wear an XL in all I have from Iron Heart. If I had gone with an XL for the vest, I would have been able to wear it with an UHF, but it would have been a bit small for a leather. So I went with an XXL and it went fine. So I think an XL will be fine for you.

I went with my normal jacket size, to be more precise. I usually take a size up for jackets compared to shirts. It does run big but for the purpose I'm gonna use it's  perfect. I'm gonna wear it over my leathers which are supposed to be used in fall and spring and cold for winter.

I just got it. It's awesome. Great over my Aero A2 and I also think it will be good over my thicker Langlitz. A quick silly pic I've made so far. Will get somebody later to take some more pics. Thanks Paula, G, Matt. And Sam for the model fit pics.

Yeah, if I put it over my leather jacket it's PERFECT…. Over a UHF isn't quite so perfect, and that will be my normal wear setup... I could have sized down, but then I lose the option to layer it over jackets.

Hopefully this weekend, I can make time to stop in to a heavyweight denim shop, and maybe they can cinch me up!

Would be great to check out the fit pics before you cinch it up.

@UnTucked:

I got the black one… I'm thinking to add a cinch-back to it. I wear a medium in everything IH so far, but this is a wee bit big for wearing over a shirt... Though, it's perfect size for wearing over a jacket. I think a mid-back cinch would fix that right up for me.

I know they run big since they're supposed to be worn over a top jacket or a thick shirt. Having that in mind and knowing that G wears XL over leathers, I went a G+1 size as I always do because my plan is to wear it over a leather jacket. Hope to share fit pics soon since the vest is released by customs but UPS will be delivering it tomorrow.

Hello Everyone,
Greetings from North Carolina. Saw the 301s online at Self Edge and fell in love with them. Just pulled the trigger. Can't wait to see how they fit. 

welcome @BullCityRez - fit pics are essential

Yep, would be great to check it out.

Mine is getting thru customs today. Hope to get it tomorrow.

@TrickHell:

Possibly dumb question, but why does this not have a hood?

Ask the USN

Yep, a hood is not a mil spec I believe.
