Hiscox for Iris OG

[tomh]

Has anyone gotten a Hiscox for Iris OG yet? Just trying to decide on what size to get, and I don't know how tight they fit.

A medium classical seems too tight on the upper bout by about an inch, and right on the line for the lower.
The large classical is 1/8" small on the upper and 1/2" too big on the lower. I am thinking Large should do it unless someone knows of a better fit.

For reference the lower bout on the OG is 14 1/2" and upper is 11 1/8"

Thanks for any input.

I ended up using a 000 sized Hiscox and added two of the pads they sell on either side of the end block. I hot glued them in place.

That's also what I did with the Hiscox Jumbo case I got for my Iris DF Smeck - added one pad on each side of the end block - worked like a charm for a custom fit. (Had to go with a jumbo over the dread case due to the 5" body depth of the Smeck).

Tomh - go with the larger case and get the spacer pads. The Hiscox website has a good tutorial on how to tuck the tail end for a seamless install. I used double sided carpet tape for mine, and they have stayed in place for two years now. The pads are pretty cheap (like $4) each.

Here's a before and after pic to get an idea of what they look like:
