I ordered one from pinkomo yesterday as soon as the went up - was over the moon as I missed them everywhere else - paid in full, but they’ve just emailed me to say my order has been cancelled for some reason

Ok, so I copped the well-sought-after Iron Heart IHSH-409-IB in a size Medium.

I have around 15 IH shirts — all Westerns/CPOs and all size Medium.

Funny (perhaps dumb) question: will the pit-to-pit stretch at all if I soak it and put it under some pressure?

Most measurements line up with my other shirts, but this one is noticeably tighter across the pits. It cuts into my armpit/pec a little and creates a slight balloon effect above the chest pockets.

Any chance of gaining a little width there, or am I dreaming? Will it loosen up…? Will it shrink? I know it says no, but my experience is they all shrink a tad.

@Adero I don’t think it will stretch much but material will soften.

For reference my XL arm hole measures 10”. My UHFs are 10.5” and other shirts range 10.5-11. So I think this one is a size smaller than most IH shirts. I’m gonna size up to XXL if I can find one. I know from experience I won’t wear something if it’s not comfortable right out of the box.

@shumu111 I don’t think it’ll shrink that much. None of my shirts really have. Even if it does shrink a little it should still fit, especially since I don’t plan on layering it over another shirt

@Daniel-San thanks. Really nice, this is a properly hefty shirt
