@Tago-Mago thanks! I Will get better photos whenever the wife gets home.

@tody In my excitement to see pics, I must’ve missed that! It doesn’t really irritate me, I know it will settle down, but I was a little surprised

[Twistlock]

@Anesthetist , i see some marks on mine, right sleeve only. Could be from having them folded in a suitcase for a coupe of days. Don't mind them, think they will disappear over time.

[Mizmazzle]

@Twistlock I’m looking at the stacking on your sleeve. Do you think this fabric would produce some
Deep stacks?

[TENDREL]

Just got these bad boys in hand and wow do they feel great. Such a wicked shirt, excited to see how these things transform over time. I didn't want to take it off, but my trusty CPO Sashiko calls....

So, my tightest(while still comfortable) IH shirt is IHSH 295ib with a chest of exactly 24". The XXX 397 is listed at 24.6" what's the consensus? Impossible to size up due to availability. I'll be ordering from a USA retailer so only a slight return hassle. Looks good on paper... Thoughts? Buy or pass? Thanks!

[Mister_Brue]

@CosmoSix5 If the 295 is comfortable enough, and you have the option of returning, then I think you may regret not at least giving it a try?

If it was a Western, or even had snaps then I would have bought one myself. Great fabric, especially if you want to see some interesting evo

[Buckeye]

I suspect, that given the popularity, they’ll bring this back… maybe even in a CPO or Western cut. Then again, it may take 5 years, or it may never happen! Better to go for it, return for some credit (and an excuse to buy the next thing you fall in love with)

[steelworker]

This look ok or am I kidding myself?

[JerkStore]

@steelworker it’s perfect

[Mizmazzle]

@steelworker oh yeah!! Spot on!! Looks like you have a touch of sleeve room to account for stacking. Length and shoulders on point!! Congrats.

Hey, I’m new to the iron heart family and this was the first piece I bought from the brand. I came into self edge looking to get into the UHF and found this in the boxes they didn’t even unpack yet. I put it on and couldn’t put it back. I’m 5/11, 180lbs picked up an XL for a looser overshirt feel

[Mizmazzle]

@msafrons hell of a great start!! Welcome to the obsession!!

[steelworker]

@JerkStore @Mizmazzle thanks gents

[popvulture]

I got the XL earlier, right before I had to pop out for an art class. Didn’t get to try it on but at first glance I was like “hm maybe the XXL will be the way?” I’ll probably wait til the latter arrives tomorrow so I can try them both on to compare, but the fabric itself is awesome feeling. Hefty and duck-like, but a little softer. The fade potential once it’s in hand seems a lot more obvious.

@steelworker it's perfect my friend, I really like how it looks on you

[endo]

@steelworker great look, great choice!

[Luijim78]

Good morning my friends, I've been wearing it for an hour and I'm already madly in love with this shirt
P.S.I hope I got the size right

[AdamJ]

@Luijim78 looks spot on to me mate

[Mister_Brue]

@steelworker @Luijim78 Gentlemen, these both look great. If they feel good, you’re onto a winner.

[Luijim78]

Thank you so much @AdamJ and @Mister_Brue
