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.

@UnTucked:

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.
@den1mhead:

@indigoselvedge, i have the IHM-09 and its a beast. enjoy your soon come IHM-10 

@thomas01:

What are you think? Sleeves are a bit on the long side..

To me the larger one is better. Allows layering still looks sharp. The sleeves is not an issue. They will crease over time and should get a bit shorter. When over a heavy jacket, they will go up a bit as well. It's a matter of personal preferences but I love this exact length for my jackets and even shirts. I'm in love with my two recent shirts, one of them I posted.

@Giles:

Most of our other shirts have longer sleeves.  Remember H likes a long sleeve so when he is on a bike, the cuffs don't end up at his elbows…..

True, G. My recent IHSH-110 and 76 are just spot on with the long sleeves the way I like them. So I like the tendency.

That's why I like your vests.

Yes, it's me[emoji1]

Possibly you meant yours, but from that moment when I explain my problem that way, it's clear what issue I have:-)

May be, but I liked the definition

Yes, the sleeves is always an issue for my gorilla arms (as G put it for mine and his:-)). But there are some exeptions sometimes which I'm happy with, like 110 and 76 shirts. Very happy with them both, my recent purchases.

@HeavyGenes:

Got my khaki today. I gotta say this thing is warm. I can only imagine how warm the coat and jacket are. And @Roma I think in the vest, khaki is the way to go. But in the jacket I'd say the black.

Btw, would you mind sharing fit pics as soon as you have time to do that?

Thanks for sharing, @HeavyGenes. I hope to get my khakj vest in a week.

Which color do you like best? Am I the only one who thinks that Khaki is the only way to go? Although the black vest is absolutely great.
