@volcano:after reading the thread twice, i reckon i'd get a medium since my chest measures 40" and well if it turns out too big, i'd return it to G for a small.
now i just can't wait for the parcel to arrive from the castle. its got my IHM-02 and this IH-9526V in it.

yap perfect lad! well done…
thanks buddy. after seeing so many fantastic fits of this beast, i knew i can't wait any longer. first thing that i love about this jacket is the side pockets! i was thinking, "yay! deep enough for a pack of cigs! ;D"
-
And then I advised him to get an S and it was too small. Damn
hahaha but it all worked out perfectly in the end. and i go happily ever after with this beast.

Volcano, do you reckon you've got enough room to layer a hoodie underneath that vest?
a hoody? hmm i reckon i could but its gonna be pretty snug fit. at the moment i wear it with my medium IHSH-33 and a hanes beefy tee under it. after all these, there's still space for comfort and jumping around. so it depends on your hoodie. if its bloody damn thick like 2-3 fingers, i can still fit in. but anything thicker than that, i'll probably suffocate myself.
however because my waist is 33" the last bottom button have to be unbuttoned whenever i wanna side down and lay back. else the stiff vest would go up and make me look like im shrinking inside the vest.
btw, i wear a medium in all my IH clothes. and here's my measurement to help.
shoulders - 17.4"
chest - 40 to 40-5" there about
waist - 33"
height - 174 cm or 5.7 ft
weight - 82kg (yes i know, im fat! ;D)hope this helps.

I'd go for a Medium in this
-
Thanks for the advice…I just think a vest looks better when it fits snug and I think I can do M, at least I can in Levi's vests.
-
tbh i think i wouldn´t cop a medium if i was you…L is totally the way to go with imo. you still can wear it with just a t or layer with a t/shirt or hoodie combo...i think i´d choose the "bigger" size to make it more versatile instead of just being able to wear it with a t alone!
-
and I'm sure after this you would return it for a Large….
again for fitting, imo only go down one if you wanna wear it exclusive open with only a tee under. If you want to be able to button it up and or layer it and stay comfy, go for your normal size...
backed! thats what i found out after getting my hands on this. i had a chance to try both small and medium but sadly. small was too snug when worn with a just a tee. btw im a medium in all my IH shirts and my measurements are above.
-
Hey volcano: you have the same measurements than me (minus the chest plus I'm one cm. taller)…
Random, but felt like sharing Jacket looks fab on ya...
thanks alot for your kind words mate. and yeah my chest are kinda huge (probably my manboobs. ;D) and as for height, im asian and we all know asians are born short like a dwarf compared to you guys. wish i had the height of G and the other guys here. 183cm or 6ft would be perfect.

commercial brands like levis have got what i call vanity sizing. they write tagged 32 but they measure 34. makes you feel slim. not saying you're fat but if you wear a M for levis, it might be a L for IH. (harsh truth hurts)
anyway go with your usual sizing mate. like if you're a L for all your shirts, get L. you will get a wider field of play with the vest than to downsize. you can wear with a hoodie, shirt or just a tee.
