IHV-22 - Alpaca Lined Whipcord N1 Vest - Olive, Navy, Grey & Khaki

Thanks UnTucked!
I was looking at a size S with the IHV-22, this would let me still layer with UHF's and warm woollen Sweater. I was looking at a temperature range between +5° and -10°C.
Wearing the Vest over a Jacket isn't a option for me, since I am with 1.73m/5.7ft a relatively short guy. Just makes me look as wide as high!
With my IHSW-23 Hoodie and a RMC Buco Racing Vest in size 40, I can get with a medium active level, comfortable down to -5°C.
Hmm, C-3 with collar…now you made my head working/spinning around!

This vest in khaki is calling my name. I’m a big vest guy and was about to pick up a patagucci down sweater, as that’s been my go to for years. Having a fairly IH exclusive closet and wearing a lot of dark denim tops lately, I feel like this piece could be one of those staples I use all winter. I need to better understand my sizing now though. All the conversation happening here has been very helpful.

Is Self Edge getting any of these vests? I may go try some on this weekend. I know they have the jacket in XL and XXL, so I may have to go try them on. Trying to really understand my new sizing post weight loss.

@joesaintjohn After getting my hands on the khaki deck jacket last winter (was my “go to” all season), I knew I had to have the vest in khaki too (although that grey is sick AF too 8)). When my size was available I scooped it up and it should be here tomorrow. I know it’s gonna get a ton of use this season.
I’m a XXL in flannels and ordered a XXL for this vest. I got my hands on a XXXL because I thought it would be good for layering under, but that was just a bit too big.
As it’s been mentioned, sizing is all about how you wear it, although you’ve been rocking IH way longer than me so you already know that. That being said, I can completely relate with post weight loss fitting issues. You’ve practically got a whole new body! When in doubt I’ve also just bought a couple sizes and send one back that didn’t work out.
Good luck dude. I think you’re gonna look killer in one of these!

I dig the darker collar on this years version [emoji41]

me too man…the lighter one is good too, but when I found out this year's would be the darker brown that were attached with the grey color, I was pretty stoked.
I actually have you to thank for this. If I didn't buy your deck jacket last year (which I work all winter and will again this year), I wouldn't have fallen in love with the whipcord outerwear

I’m still glad you got the N1 from me - makes me happy it’s been put to such good use. Maybe I’ll snag my size one day…

I need some sizing help. The XXXL feels too big.
The XXL fits much better, but I’m trying to decide if I should size down. Comments please:

The XXL looks perfect for what I think it’s intended use will be!

XXL looks good man. But like Reuben said, depends on how you will wear it.
I wear my XXL over flannels (see pics above) and hoodies and is a more relaxed fit, but what I like about the XXL is I can also wear it over my jackets but it looks a touch fitted.
IMHO the XXL looks perfect. But I can’t tell how it feels on your body. Also, are you planning on slimming down much more or are you in a maintenance phase. If you a planning to lose more weight, in 6m-1y that XXL might be to big.

Good feedback, all. I think I’m going to send back the XXXL and beg IHHQ to send me an XL, then I’ll do another round of fit pics and be satisfied in my choice. I’m going to wear the shit out of this vest and want it perfect. Double shipping is a small price for the peace of mind.
