IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo
-
@long_john86 man I think you’ve got a winner there! Sleeves don’t look too short to me at all. They will come up a bit perhaps, but the fabric should also relax a good amount as well I’d imagine.
-
Mine arrives today, the suspense is killing me!
-
Yeah @long_john86 I agree with @Mizmazzle, doesn’t look too short at all in the sleeve, and personally I associate the work fit with a little more room in the body. Of course if you’re not feelin’ it, you’re not feelin’ it. Could always sleep on it for a couple days!
-
I'm very tempted to order a size up even though my first size hasn't showed up yet . It just irks me that some stockist refuse return and make you exchange it.
-
@Denimminer I have found that more the norm recently, which is weird. If they're out of your preferred size (to exchange to) - which in this case is likely, you're basically SOL with a credit.

Not that I'd have a problem finding something to exchange for especially with new UHFs coming out but sometimes I'll exchange for something I wouldn't normally buy just for fear of the store credit being "lost"

@popvulture cheers dude. It really is the sleeves that are the deal breaker for me unfortunately. There will always be that little voice in the back of my head that I won’t be able to shake. I’d accept that for a lesser garment, but not for this beauty. We win some we lose some. Holding out for what comes next!

That's the way I was with the 12oz cpo, just a tad short where if I lifted my arms the skin on my waist would show. Had to cut losses....then I ordered this

Where do you live where store credit can be lost?

The USA , I'm just saying I don't trust computers them going down, "no record of you having $415 credit" scenario.
I did order a XL from jamesdant so I'll have a L and XL. -
@Denimminer But they don't accept returns either, do they? So you'll have a credit there then?

Just keep an email copy as a record and anxiety should subside. I also really hate how no stores accept refunds anymore. Just completely gone.

They do not, and the Large I got from ironshopprovisions and they don't either. This shouldn't be hard to off load if i want to do it myself I suppose to recoup.

@long_john86 I’m not even tall at 5”10 and can see where you are coming from.. I recently ordered 3 UES flannels direct from Japan for a great price and while the quality was great and they fit pretty much spot on.. the sleeves seemed too short after wearing pretty much nothing but Iron Heart. I love that with IH I can fully stretch my arms out in front of me and they still cover my fore arms.. is that weird

The reason I came to IH in the first place.

You need to size up.
-
@tody at least I know I’m not alone then! I didn’t realise how much I’ve grown to love it until I tried a different brand of shirt. I ordered an orSlow chambray work shirt a while ago and while the fit everywhere else was spot on, the sleeves were almost comically short.
-
-
@long_john86 Right decision imo. Sleeves 100% too short. It also looks as if Westerns may be a better shape for you?
The 399 is awesome if you can find one in your size.

@Mister_Brue cheers matey Yes I may need to venture into international territory to snag one!
