Picked this one up in my western size. Immediately ordered the black after trying it on.

In my opinion, it's warmer than the 14oz sweatshirts. I like how it's slightly more fitted as it's just perfect as either a solid layering option or standalone.

Same here... went with work shirt sizing for a snug fit. Probably could have also sized up and used the cinch if needed.

@VegaS10 Adding to what @Luijim78 said, it's very wearable. I was pleasantly surprised the first time putting it on. I don't have the Indigo Lefty to compare.. but it's more robust than the 526-SBG.

It might be my favorite IH piece if I had to choose. I also have the 777-21od, and it doesn't feel even close to this jacket. There is just something about wearing the jacket that feels and looks so badass.

Damn I really learned my fit lesson the hard way.

A lot of us did as well. It's just all part of the journey.

For what it's worth, I agree with @jordanscollected that it doesn't look terrible and it may settle after some wear.

It's an awesome vest... a little lighter in weight compared to the wabby vests. I'm generally in between sizes but glad I sized down to XS for this reason.

Sorry for the terrible pics including the random loose piece of thread in the second one.

Super happy with how this one turned out.

Plenty of room for a hoodie under. I have a tendency to roll up my sleeves even with CPOs and jackets, and the wider sleeves allow for this. It's a really versatile piece that filled that need for a pure black heavyweight jacket in my wardrobe.

Thanks for the pics everyone. Mine arrives tomorrow and I'm hoping for the best.

Most of my Type 3 jackets are slim fitting, and I also knew about this model's wider sleeves going in. I'm hoping this one will fit nicely into the rotation providing an option for layering under.

@Nostradamion I also have both the Lefty OD and now the SBG, and I think there is a time and place for both.

The Lefty OD is just badass in look and feel. The SBG to me will be slightly more "tamed". And of course, both are totally different colors that will be even more evident as time goes on.

@Luijim78 Same here buddy... I'm thinking the "boxier" fit will be just fine.

@Mizmazzle Thanks for the heads up! I grabbed the henley version and it's a great shirt.

They got me though as I added three other items to my order just to get the free shipping.

I'm really looking forward to this one. I'm all in for the shorter length with hand warmer pockets and black W.

In size S, the dimensions are very similar to my 2526J except for a slightly longer arm length... exactly what I was hoping for.

@John-Galt @Luijim78 So sorry to both of you... I grabbed the only XS.

I spent a lot of time deciding between the XS and S. I have the IHV-27 and IHV-02-BLK along with another Momotaro sashiko vest and I compared the sizing between all. They all fit a little bit differently and I just felt that the XS for the IHV-47-IND would work best here.

I am surely willing to trade with either of you if my calculations end up being wrong. I know you both were eyeing this piece from the very beginning and I just wish there were more of the smaller sizes made to go around.

Really digging this shirt and I semi-intentionally checked in this morning a little later instead of at release time. I'm a little relieved all in my size have been snagged.

I also have the 352-RED which I love. Totally different shade of red but for me it's one of those colors that I can't wear all the time.

I've been waiting for this one too and finally snagged it. Been wanting one for BBQ days and the kitchen.

Also snagged a black wabby one for those days where it's too hot outside for 21oz.

@Crispy-Heron I'm glad you got it... I probably would have snagged it if you hadn't. I'm thankful you eliminated any decision I had to make myself.

*edit: would love to see fit pics.

@Mizmazzle Saw the same thing earlier. I have found good deals at WF before, but this time I ordered one of each color of these tees at RCH which was still way cheaper even after the price correction.

@Luijim78 Same here, but I wear my IHE-37 the same way as you are and I don't feel like I'm wearing a fanny pack at all.

Looks awesome on you.

@MassiveThighs In my opinion, it all depends on how you plan to wear it. Although I do agree with @Boit that it looks one size large especially in the shoulders and sleeve length, I think you may be able to pull it off if you plan to wear it as an overshirt.

Maybe try it on with some layers underneath?

@nrtphotos I don't really do much social media stuff so I didn't see any IG post, but if what you're saying is indicating that a work vest in this fabric may be on the way, I'm definitely excited. I have a good collection of vests including a Momotaro sashiko one, but one in this fabric would be on another level.

@Luijim78 That makes two of us buddy. Feeling lucky I was able to snag one of the size S as well. There are a few others floating around out there from the stockists, but you're right... not too many.

I picked up a 295-ib during the sale after convincing myself they are both different enough to justify the purchase. Hoping I can give both the wears they deserve when the weather cools back down.
