IHSH-344-KHA - 10oz Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt - Khaki

@SashaDBZ bro I don't know, L seems to be the perfect fit. XL definitely too large for you.

Perhaps try a western shirt, you'd prefer this fit better.

Fit is subjective and you have to be happy with your purchase. Too many people have tried to force a fit and end up not wearing the item or selling it. I do agree with the other posters and the xl shirts all look big with the shirt hanging off of your frame. The large looks better on you.

I see what you mean - the L is draping a little wrinkled around the armpits. That may go away with some wear and a wash, when the fabric softens up.
As the others have said, XL is definitely too big for you.

@SashaDBZ I'll be honest, I have noticed many Iron Heart shirts with that dreadful armpit to chest fold, regardless how dialed in the sizing is. I can't quite figure it out but it drives me crazy on certain shirts. Love to hear from the team about this, it's the elephant in the room.

Thanks for the feedback. I now also see that the XL is just a bit too baggy. The L doesn't fit on the chest, no room to move.

IHSH-395-KHA 7oz Fatigue Cloth Work Shirt - Khaki seems like an interesting option. According to the size guide the L fits between XL and L of the IHSH-344-KHA. The fabric also looks a bit more sturdy/boxy

Hi,

According to the sizing, the Khaki XL Western should be a bit tighter on the chest and shoulders than the Work Shirt XL. So that should fit better. But the sleeve length is even longer on the Western. Does it make sense to try the western in this colour with such long sleeves?

With the Western in blue, the L should have a bit more space than the Work shirt L, the difference seems minimal, 0.2 cm on the chest and 0.5 on the shoulders more space. But the sleeves should fit better.

Too bad the Khaki Western in L is 3 cm narrower in the chest than the blue one.

@SashaDBZ You may need to email the IHUK (Ironheart UK) crew at shop@ironheart.co.uk and ask for help re: sizing. Every shirt released will have slightly different sizing due to the way it's made, the people sewing them, and the materials used. In general IH shirts are known to have long sleeves and has been done so due to the way it's been designed.

Ironheart is a motorcycling brand and the extra length in the sleeves is so that when you are riding a motorcycle, the sleeves are still long enough when the arms are stretched out (holding onto the handlebars) and the wind pushes them up.

@SashaDBZ imo you should try western XL if L work shirts were the best choice so far. Give it a try just to be sure, no regrets that way.
