IHSH-32 Ultra Heavy Flannel Western Shirt

[Omega Man]

Thanks for the info SepticSef.  Always cold wash if you are worried about shrinkage.

My first IH shirt lower than green on the color spectrum!

This fits like a standard IH medium (perfect for me) and the measurements are very close to the IHSH-20.  Note that a few recent shirts such as the IHSH-23, IHSH-34, and the garage shirt have been larger than the standard.  Due to the thickness of the fabric, there is a bit of stacking in the elbow region which makes the sleeves ride up a bit.  I actually prefer a slightly shorter sleeve though and find it irritating if the cuff touches my palm.

The snaps are of the IHSH-08 style in which a ring snaps into another ring, instead of the usual protrusion fitting into a small hole.  The pockets are the standard 15cm long.  A few of the recent shirts (for example the 34) have 16cm long pockets to accommodate an iPhone 4.  In my opinion, the shorter pockets are better proportioned and I prefer them even if they can't hold my phone.

As mentioned by others, the material has a vintage look which I believe comes from the white not being a pure white.  The pink squares help to offset the intensity of the pure red squares.

I soaked it at 30deg before wearing.  No shrinkage observed.

Overall, this shirt includes all of my IH likes and none of my dislikes.  I'm 100% satisfied with it.

Everyone looks really great in these….makes me bummed that I had to hold off, so here is to hoping that next years will be just as great (I am sure it will).

woah..what are you doing with the scissors ???

(BTW - cool combo, the od jacket and the shirt…)

[Giles]

making it into a vest

[tvshooter]

sir, please put the scissors down and step away from the jacket. . .

seriously- an OD vest would be insane.  but don't do it- i'm broke till next year!

@tvshooter:

seriously- an OD vest would be insane.

Yep. Seconded.

Edited to un-derail:  Folks lookin' good ITT. Carry on.

I received both colors today and everyone is right, these ROCK! The red is definitely "vintage"-ish… i get it now after holding it in person. HEAVY flannel, these are more like jackets! haha Very slim fitting in my typical size but G is right, i wouldnt suggest sizing up at all.

[cparsons]

So I wear a 42 in TFH saw tooth denim shirt and i prefer a little bit of a slim look. Should i go with a M or L in the black?

[Beatle]

It would make sense to compare the measurements.. I would say it´s safe to go for the same size..42 or XL

[cparsons]

I did compare the measurements and the L looks like it would be probably the choice for me thanks tho.

[DrPat]

I would also suggest a L.  But note that FH and IH have very different cuts.  FH is larger in the shoulders and narrower in the stomach than IH.

[cparsons]

Thanks thats exactly why I was asking because the Iron heart shirts have small shoulders and bigger chests, but flathead has a smaller chest and bigger shoulders.  Though, I think if I go with the L I should be good so I am ordering my first Iron Heart shift now! Thanks DrPat.

[Splattered]

I wear an L in IH and a 42 in FH.

I do wish that IH shirts were a little more tapered like FH though because i have a smaller waist
