IHSH-46 - Chambray Work Shirts

[Sugar Mountain]

Quick question: are the sleeves on the 46 and other workshirts intended to be somewhat short? The length is the one thing that puts me off buying my normal size, as all other dimensions are spot-on.

Weird.  I have monkey arms and all IH shirts are long enough for me…..

[Sugar Mountain]

I just wondered if that was the nature of a typical workshirt cut. Like, for practical reasons when, erm, working at a buzz-saw or something! The sleeves on my IHSH-38 are 24.4" whereas on the 46, the length is only 24" and the shoulder measurement is the same. I may have to stick to westerns for the most part.

Hmm, do I read the sizing correct if this in XL is similar to the IHSH-08sbg in XXL?

IHSH-46 XL chest: 23,3"

IHSH-08sgb XXL chest: 23,2"

if so.. I might need to do something irresponsible.

You read correct - just re-measured

I don't know.  Just know that all IH shirts are long enough in the arms for me

Perhaps my arms out-monkey yours? 

Cheers anyway.

S0110XJ + red 46 = best combo!

I just got the red shirt in large. Love it. Iron Heart has the fit figured out. Many other Japanese brands just don't fit me right in the arms, and I am about as average as it gets in terms of body structure. Whomever designed the cut, I salute you!

fit = perfect!

[SpaceGnome]

thanks Finn.  Im loving it.  wore it all weekend.  almost had an issue when my not very good english speaking mother in law came at me with scissors.  at first I thought nothing of it, then I saw her going for the stitching run off and I about shit my pants.  Im pretty sure she got the message with my animated expressions.

The red one is sadly gone EXTINT, but black and green are also fabulous.
I decided not to buy them only to save my life. My wife gave me the choice: die in green chambray, or live without.

Looks pretty fine–the trip stitching, the run-off, etc. For the coin, I would probably like to see a split yoke though, or know why one is not in place. Also, from the photos, the placket looks fold-over, not separately sewn on, but I cannot be sure--again, for the money, it should be explained clearly. Are the buttons plastic? Resin? I would like to know...How are they stitched on?  As everything is done in Japan, I imagine that it is all top-tier, but I would like to know these details to know for sure that I am getting the quality that I am paying for and also to have fun with the shirt and explain the quality to my friends...

I would like to see this kind of detail on the descriptions...basically regarding every element of the shirt--written in terms of benefits to the wearer, not simply a list of details. ("Features tell, benefits sell!" Dude!)  EG, 10oz selvage mock twist chambray sounds interesting and top-tier, but I am forced to google the term to find out what it is, and why it is used on this shirt...what makes it so great, etc.

Anyway, maybe I am just being grouchy.
