IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo

[americanathreads]

The suspense was real with this one. Had to wait 8 days for it to arrive. Like many I felt right in between sizes - Large and XL. But given the measurements, felt my usual size (large) was more likely to work. XL measurements looked bigger than any shirt I own. Overall, the large is a pretty good fit, but I could use .5 inches more in the shoulder. Even with slightly tighter shoulders, I think it’s a keeper and XL would’ve been too big. Those who have had it for a few days, as it softens do you feel more give/space in certain areas? 6’0, 84kg/185lbs, 40.5 inch chest. Appreciate any thoughts!

@indigostiff @americanathreads both of you guys look good. I tossed my large and XL on again just now with jeans, I feel like the XL for me goes on more like a jacket. I'm leaning towards the large now.

@americanathreads great fit. shirt breaks in all the right the spots. Congrats. Shirt looks great on everyone. Wish I had bought one but had for something else this time around

@americanathreads I think it looks great on you, after 2/3 days it drapes better on the body and I think you will feel even more comfortable with it

[Luijim78]

@indigostiff beautiful my friend! congratulations you look great

Taking shape nicely! Worn daily since getting it, plus a couple of bonus sleeps..

This'll be my first time actively trying to fade a shirt with daily wear.

@T4920 definitely shaping up nicely! Seeing any electric indigo popping yet?

This shirt is about to see some serious miles, loving the break-in. Been wearing it since it arrived - I'm 6'0" and 170 size M for reference. Pics snapped on a 4 year old phone so apologies.

This and my 295ib have my full attention this year…no doubt we’re all gonna have some epic results with this one. Going to be fun to see them all develop.

@E-Malus Nice shirt, but you gotta update that phone man.

-sent from my 7 year old iPhone 8.

[E. Malus]

@jordanscollected Gah, tell me about it brother. New phone eats into my IH budget and just keeps getting moved down the priority list with every drop

[guiltyparty]

I dunno how but we still have 2 Mediums hanging around the shop. If you know anyone who missed out, send them our way.

I regret not getting one of these for myself because these shirts are so fucking good.

[Denimminer]

I sent my XL back to JamesDant for anyone maybe wanting

[americanathreads]

@Denimminer @Luijim78 @Boit - thanks gents! Hoping it softens in nicely with some wear.

My 3xl is scheduled for delivery tomorrow from Withered Fig. The fit suspense is real. Also the tracking says it's still at a post office facility in Virginia so....

Boy I really hope the IH crew is kicking around the idea of doing a type III jacket in this beautiful stuff!!

Such beautiful texture…..

So my 3XL shirt came today. The chest measures 23.5 and the .5 is me pulling the tape taught and still adding out of deference to the guys at Iron Heart. 24.6" is the displayed chest measurement for this shirt. The good news is I'm smaller than I thought because it might fit. Sleeves and shoulders are great hem is normal IH for me. Even the top button is very comfortable. I'll get some pics maybe tonight or tomorrow.

Thoughts on fit? It's definitely snug. I love how trim the sleeves are. The openings are small on the sleeves. That extra inch across the chest would be great....
