Looking good.  Did you sized up one or is it your regular IH shirt size?  I noticed you have another shirt underneath.

Excellent choice and sadly, it won't be your last  ::).

[blakey]

I should keep away from these denim shirts, they really do fit incredibly weird.

[madmonday]

i have one or two Iron Heart shirts & beside the insane quality, the fit is another main draw for me.

i'm weaing my IHD-01 today & it fits perfect & even makes me appear to have good posture, clear skin, & just be a major bad ass, HahhAhahA.

*** maybe i missed your sarcasim blakey?  if so, i do apoogize.  i get alittle worked up sometimes about some of this stuff

madmonday, one or two IH shirts! You are kidding me right  ;)?

blakey, can you elaborate?  I am curious to know how it fits on you.

[Seul]

All my IH shirts fit as if they were custom made… 

[madmonday]

& we have been trying to get you to get bigger shirts    we dion't need to see all of that

HAHaHAHAHahA

[Seul]

Rest assured no more Smalls for me… Just copped IHSH-07 and IHW-01 navy in Medium...

[madmonday]

mad face really does just comes up

@Omega:

blakey, can you elaborate?  I am curious to know how it fits on you.

I guess its the way it sits on me, chest area seems small, but heaps of room around the back, perfect around the forearms but massive around the biceps, and the shirt really hugs cups my butt

Maybe I'm just weird or need to wear it in more…

[madmonday]

looking for pictures so i can give a thumbs up or down on what you are saying.  hard to make a determination based only off your perception of the fit.

Finally picked one(raw version) up.  Tried it on quickly last night to get an initial feel.

The good:
Bigger buttons are definitely the better choice
The pockets are a plus, they are there when you need them and quietly stand in the background when you don't. They don't billow out.
Fabric weight, colour and construction (tightly woven denim) are top notch
Feels almost bullet proof (still needs to catch up to the IHSH-08 SS Black Armour shirt!)

The bad/not so bad:
Chest was a bit tight (not supa thight in Beats speak  :P) even though I got it in the same size as my other IH shirts.
Shoulder and forearm sit on right but it rides up and there was a fair amount of room in the biceps area (similar to blakey's feedback on this thread).
Sleeve lengths slightly too long in my opinion. Two buttons on the cuff might have worked better, but it may be too difficult due to the size of the buttons and/or the fabric. Not too big of a deal, I can either fold it up or let it all hang out….
The body of the shirt seems to be in a cut slimmer than other IH denim shirt, and it seems to hug the body more. Don't think I can fit another shirt underneath at the moment.

Conclusion:
Need to rock it some more, sorry no pics  ::).  Due to the nature of the tightly woven denim and it is raw, I think the denim needs to loosen up a fair bit. The biceps and body should flow better after longer wear. Don't think it will ever touch warm/hot water as I don't want it to shrink.
Unlike my other IH shirts, I won't hesitate to keep all the buttons undone. Pretty versatile as a shirt (when all buttoned up) or an overshirt (with a tee underneath).
