Well, a bit of a wild update here! Per my earlier post in this thread, the XL I thought I had tracked down through a seller on Facebook Iron Heart marketplace, which ended up ultimately being a purchase through eBay with the seller, was coming from a retailer in China he had tracked down, and after about three weeks of highly anticipated waiting, and like a young child on Christmas, I tore through the packaging only to find that the IHSH-368 was staring me in the face.. needless to say, I was pretty crushed. Apparently, there was a mixup somewhere along the way, and after many apologies from the Facebook seller, we set up the return process, and aside from some hurt feelings on my part, there was no damage done.
When I tell you I have been on the hunt for the shirt for the past eight months, I mean it! I went through all of the retailers posted In the original post, searching far and wide! And as you all know, this baby was sold out.
Ever since then, I have been checking in several times a week on all of the marketplace to see if one was popping up for sale. I thought I was being very diligent on the marketplace here on the forum, but two weeks ago, I stumbled across a post that I clearly missed from @Miiks back in October that he was selling his. I had very little faith that it was still available, but you never know, so I hit him up. Low and behold, he informed me it sold quite some time ago. And then a few days later, this SAINT of a man hit me up, saying that he stumbled across one for sale online, and he sent me the link. I couldn’t believe my eyes ! When I got onto Pinkomo’s site and saw that they had a medium still available! Are you freaking kidding me?!? The exact size that I have been hoping and praying for all these months, was still available!? I don’t think I’ve ever so frantically purchased an item before my life!
After my last experience, I was still holding my breath a tiny bit (unnecessarily, as Pinkomo is a pro-status shop). It arrived yesterday in pristine condition, in a beautifully wrapped box, so a massive shout out to the boys over at Pinkomo!
And so this, thanks to @Miiks and Pinkomo, is how I was able to track down, what I believe to be, maybe the last one of these for sale in the world!
It just goes to show that with a little bit of luck, persistence, and the wielding of the Almighty power of Iron Heart Forum, pipe dreams can come true!

@MSav32323 wow dude you had me through a loop there reading your post. I am glad you are so happy to have found a 398. It's a great shirt, the indigo goes so well with the copper snaps.
-
@Oaktavia let’s just say it’s been quite the ride!! And now with the news of a second chance at the 409, I think my IH wish-list will be fulfilled (until more glorious pieces emerge, that is).
Yeah this shirt though…wow! I’m so excited to see it evolve, and thanks to you I know it’s going to be great!
Also, are you a teacher? Seems like you’re in a classroom in some of your photos. If so, cheers from a fellow teacher!

@MSav32323 the 409 news is so awesome!!! Definitely grab one of those if you can.
Yes, I am a middle school art teacher in my 11th year. What do you teach?

@Oaktavia amazing, brother! I’m in my 10 year, currently Dean of Students for Elementary and a K-2 Music Teacher, and have taught Kinder for years before that. I’m at a K-8 school though, and MS students are great too. Hope the school year has been going OK for ya!
Maybe the IH squad can start us a “IH Teachers” thread lol.

@MSav32323 that's great to hear man. @Mizmazzle is one of us too. He just started MS after teaching
highelementary school for many years. I know there are more of us but I can't recall aside from him and @neph93 as well. -

@Mizmazzle @Oaktavia We got ourselves a nice little pack here! @Mizmazzle 14 years is solid! I applaud you!

@MSav32323 thanks bro. I’ve actually been teaching for 19 years total.
I taught 2 years at a residential treatment center as my first job after college. Then moved to South America and taught middle school math and science for 3 years. Then 14 years in public education in Colorado.
