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

[Robert Z]

Looking for some fit advice. If I'm normally  an XL in UHFs but want a slim fit for this vest over a thermal or single layer should I opt for a L or M?  I'm 5'9" so shirt length is fine.

I’m an xl in IH shirts and I have a large in this vest. I wouldn’t go down to medium.

OK thank you that helps. XL shirts and UHFs fit somewhat snug on me so I should definitely stick with a large then.

Same here. Am XL with the UHF and I own one N1 vest tagged L. It is.
Definitely go with a tagged L, Robert[emoji106]

i'm very interested in one of these vests provided it is not extremely warm.  I own the IHV-32-IND and wear it frequently, but would love something in a white or tan like these.  Can anyone compare the warmth of this to the IHV-32?

[sabergirl]

The alpaca lining of these is going to be waaay warmer than the cotton and synthetic batting of the 32.

Finally picked up the IHV-22-GRY.  It's a little on the larger size with just a tight long-sleeve T underneath, but it works well with a hoodie or jacket.

As the cold approaches, another year goes by of the regret at not buying the Navy version of this when I had the chance

Fit pic from @konadog makes me want one too. I don't think I'd make use of the full N1 in the UK climate, as I always opt for double denim on colder days, but I think this vest could find its place in my wardrobe quite nicely...

@T4920 Having just tried the IHM-37-BLK on, my position on not needing a deck jacket has changed

[T4920]

@AdamJ Based on past experience I'm not a fan of oiled fabrics.

If y'all put out a 21oz denim N1 I could be persuaded though...

Looks like you're one step ahead of me

How does this thread have no posts!? I wanna see evo pics...

@T4920 Thats one epic piece!!

Hand wash or dry cleaning.....
Any tips how to take care of the vest ?
Thanks

@Punatnik

Spot cleaning the whipcord with a damn cloth is the way to go, however, i know plenty of people that have put their deck jackets in the washing machine, just takes an age to dry!

I would avoid dry cleaning.

[jordanscollected]

@Punatnik I know that @Nik has laundered his before. he may have insight.

[endo]

if you asked me, this one only dry cleaning

[Nik]

@jordanscollected yep spot clean as Graham says is best unless you want shrinkage and marbling, both of which can be desirable.
