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?
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

@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!
Damn you all. In for one from Iron Shop Provisions

Just to reiterate what’s been said about TJ and his service/support…everything I have purchased through him has been exceptional as well as his communications with me during the process.
He has always answered my questions and will double check a measurement if I needed. He has also been supportive after the sale by confirming fits (sent by pictures) to him as well as phoning me once to make sure I was happy with one of my buys.
He’s got a great thing going and I support him and his operation 100%.
To be certain, TJ is one of, if not the best, in the business. Great guy!

@Buckeye @Daniel-San I was following the process of TJ wearing the sample and love everything about it but the price is just way too much for me .. I can't tell if it's maybe worth it but no matter how much I like this jacket, I can't wrap my head around 2.5k+++ on a single piece of clothing. Still thinking about one of the chores
I don’t doubt that it’s worth the price… but the idea of being unable to try it on (as I suspect it’ll be pre-order only for this jacket), along with the inconsistency of sizing just make it a difficult venture. It’s another thing I love about IH: the meticulous quality control and the availability of exact size charts prior to product release. They haven’t done any pre-orders from what I can recall, and really give every chance to ensure a piece will work out before the purchase is made
@Giles said in Iron Heart Products - What do you think we should make?:
Yes it is possible, but duck is one of the hardest fabrics to get a reliable supply of. Years ago when I was talking to Haraki about the limited supply, he told me that he was one the 4th mill, the other 3 having closed down....Things will not have got any better since then...
I’m guessing that the Indigo double duck will not be making a return in the near future, then …?
Beautiful new red chore jacket (with a zip and snaps) from TJ at The Shop Vancouver. Interesting (and slightly concerning) to see the price increases for horsehide, with this one coming in north of $2400 (with customs on top, for most of us). The Real McCoy’s Buco J-100 has also gone up from $1600 to $2430. I wonder if this is more the price/availability of horsehide, or the general Japanese economy.
Admittedly I wasn’t there in 2014… or 2018… but this really seems like the golden age of IH. Thanks for all of your excellent work!

@Buckeye Was it quiet? Felt like my whole world was the Flat Box for the past 24 hours haha.
Ah, sounds like you weren’t quiet; I think I should’ve just been listening better!
@guiltyparty incredibly quiet Beckman Flatbox release you did there! It’s one of the most beautiful shoes I’ve seen in person; they still have pairs in 9/9.5/10.5/11 for anyone who’s looking for a pair!
To be honest, this didn’t look super impressive online and I couldn’t figure out why it was flying off the shelves. I bit the bullet and grabbed an XXL, and I’m so glad I did. Perfectly constructed lightweight bomber; will definitely get lots of use!
@nrtphotos said in IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo:
@FourHorsemen good question. The SJ is very long, I actually like this as I find most IH is barely long enough for my size and taste - I have to size up in UHF’s for the extra bit of length and I find they are not a great fit as a result. The SJ is also a more tailored modern fit, I like this too. As for the fabric, they feel pretty similar in terms of weight. I own a PBJ sashiko jacket and consider PBJ the absolute king of Sashiko, SDA isn’t far behind. The IH stuff labeled as Sashiko isn’t really Sashiko IMO, the SJ stuff is a bit more in line but not the puffy stitches you will see on some of the real deal fabrics. My SJ shirt actually has a couple minor QC issues, they are not made in house by SJ. The IH shirt was as expected in terms of fit and finish. If I had a gun to my head and could only keep one it would probably be the SJ as it’s a bit better fit for me, I’m happy to have both, though!
Thanks for the helpful review!! What were the QC issues? Do you know where the SJ shirts are made?
