Great looking bracelet, can you give some details.

@neph93:

Type III vests aren’t really my speciality. I have one (IHV-21) and had another from the Marketplace briefly but wasn’t happy with sizing.

Both the two you mention are beautiful. I’d be tempted to go with the IH-526V. Classic 21oz, heavy but soft. The XHS version is gorgeous and the denim is great but it will be crazy stiff. If you don’t plan on wearing it daily it will stay that way for a looooong time. This was the way with my IHV-21. I had to force myself to wear and use it for working in to get past the stiffness.

I'm leaning towards the IH-526V, for the same reasons you mentioned…
I'm SURE the IH-526V-XHS will be amazing with some serious wear, but I just don't know if I'm the guy who can/will make that happen, lol!

I love the 25oz fades. But they are high contrast so the bits that don’t get much abrasion stay very dark. On a vest that’s almost all of it.

Good ol' @neph93 … You think of everything!

I kind of miss @davito's incredible and inspiring posts. I hope he and his canine are doing well.

I'm gutted that his IHV-05 won't fit me…

[UnTucked]

Still going strong!!!

Thanks, Bro.

It's definitely one of my prized pieces, along with my IH-816-DD's as well.

North Sea Clothing Bodywarmer in quilted wool. Currently on sale…

[Graeme]

Even more on sale in camouflage!

[Chris]

Dammit, Graeme!  Now I want these shoes.  And maybe a t-shirt…

The Bodywarmer looks good, and I don't even like vests.

[Graeme]

@Chris you know that this place is one big pit of temptation!

The trouble with NSC is that it doesn't really get cold enough for most of their gear in Oz.

The shoes look good, but my feet are a size EU 48, and they top out at 46.

I do like the smocks they do, and they've got my size in them…
