Y2 IR-42, IHSH-389-IND, 888-nin

Indigo Single Rider (IR-42). Around 20 wears in, getting some creasing on the arms and shoulder mobility is getting better… but this is going to take I think ~100 wears before it’s comfortable!

I’m sorry, did you say -TWENTY ONE- oz work shirt?

For what it’s worth, I used to be a huge Arc’teryx fan. They were subsequently sold to Anta (a Chinese company), who left the BCI (better cotton initiative) to continue using cotton from the Xinjiang region of China (where forced/slave labor of Uighar muslims to work crop fields has been reported). Of course, I’m not an international trade expert, or cotton expert, or clothing expert, or… you get the point. I also don’t support 3Sixteen (India) and Post O’alls (China) for reasons in the same bucket. Again, I’m not an expert, I can’t say I have even a tenth of the information, and I could be completely wrong in my decision.

Iron heart appears to be a company that supports ethical manufacturing, fair pay for workers, environmentally conscious sourcing and development practices, and just plain appears to treat people well. It’s becoming harder and harder to find clothing companies to purchase from that can say all of those things. So, very grateful to you guys and the work that you do!

1. That 21 oz monster sashiko shirt
2. The duck bomber I’m going to wear over it
3. The Tiger camo pants I’ll be wearing with the above combo as we survive the post-apocalyptic wasteland

7 wears in; XXL on 6’1”, 210 pounds. The arms were quite tight initially, but have loosened up nicely with wear!

Damn you all. In for one from Iron Shop Provisions

@JerkStore it probably eats it alive, buttons and all

It’s an absolutely beautiful shirt! That being said, if it’s sold out online, I’m sure we’ll all be able to find another amazing indigo IH shirt in its stead! I believe in each and every one of you and your ability to buy another blue shirt

@corralitos size charts are usually finalized a couple of days before release, so you should know in advance! Best of luck!

i'm looking to incrementally shrink this shirt. i first washed on 40C at 600rpm, and got a bit but not enough in the length. should my next step be 40C at a higher rpm? or is 60C at 600rpm a better choice?

@ShopatIronHeart

Is ‘ShopatIronHeart’ the forum equivalent of the Batsignal?

@Gavin666 I’d jump on that deal at £225 new!

My favorite menswear shop in the US, by far

@Buckeye
It looks like I might be a xxl as well in this jacket…what size western and or uhf do you wear? I have the opportunity to grab a xxl but not sure how the fit is

Hey! I’m an XXL in the westerns and UHF, typically prefer to go XXXL on jackets for the shoulders and the chest. The XXL in this piece is perfect, and happy I didn’t go XXXL. I’m 6’0”, 207-ish. Hope this helps!

Forgive me if this is too off-topic, but wanted to learn more about Levi’s lawsuit regarding trademark infringement against Fullcount (and more concerningly, Standard and Strange, along with Franklin and Poe). My short takeaway is that if a court does agree that these jackets/pants are too similar (which… they’re not similar to me!), could Levi’s bring successful suits against the entire heritage repro denim industry?

Us and a few hundred others would be in line for it!!

@FlavourFade yeah man, looks great! Shoulders will soften up nicely after around 20-30ish wears

@nrtphotos said in Y’2 Leathers….:

@Daniel-San are you saying yours loosened/opened up a bit in the rain after getting wet? My western Henry is a tad tight in the chest, I haven’t worn it in the rain so I’m curious…

My experience with Y2 Horsehide has been that it softens up in areas of high tension (tight areas) and creases/shrinks in areas of low tension… but unfortunately no stretch

It’s an absolutely beautiful shirt! That being said, if it’s sold out online, I’m sure we’ll all be able to find another amazing indigo IH shirt in its stead! I believe in each and every one of you and your ability to buy another blue shirt

@Mizmazzle hey! I’m an XXL in IH, and went with a size 5 given the advice above regarding shrinkage!
