Transparency breeds loyalty in my opinion G

Sorry for being offtopic, but I strongly hope for lighter weight shirts in the future. Self designed or not (but prefereably self designed.) Wasn't it intented, to do lighter weight stuff under the Triple Works label? Please don't stop doing them.

[Giles]

We have no intention of stopping them do not worry…...

Great great read above. This is why IronHeart stands out to me compared to the others.

Anyways to keep this on topic, I'm curious on how this sells. The pattern is pretty different compared to the other heavy weight flannels I've seen in the past.

if you live anywhere but the surface of the sun and you're an iron heart fan and you do not own an ultra heavy iron heart flannel then you're out of your damn mind

that is how good these are

[zhivago]

Is it just me or do these look thinner than previous years? I know it's hard to tell from the pics and I am praying I'm wrong, I really really hope not.

[Giles]

No they are super heavy - well the fabric I have on my desk is.  I dont have an old one to compare with, but this stuff is super heavy

[zhivago]

Thanks G. Now I can carry on about my day worry free!

Same sizing as last year's?

[Giles]

You know the rules.  I don't publish until i have them here and have measured them myself…..

Hey, I'm new to Iron Heart (and Japanese sizing) and I have a quick sizing question. I recently bought an OriginalFake flannel and it was 45 in the chest, but it fit like spandex. I was thinking a xxl or xxxl for this shirt. I'm 5'10" and weigh 200.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[jacoavlu]

welcome Mike, these shirts aren't here yet so all just guessing until Giles can measure them himself
though you can see last years heavy flannels here

sizing of these likely to be similar

[MikeC]

I'm just looking for an idea because I plan on buying this as soon as it drops. Regardless, I'm going to have to try on a suggested size to be fully sure. It would suck if I got a xxxl and it ends up being way too big.
PS I know the rules on askng about sizing and fit prior to Giles getting them in hand. I probably should have worded my initial post a little different.

[jacoavlu]

I don't think self edge is getting these this year if you're thinking of trying on there… though maybe they're getting the solid color version

[MikeC]

Im just going to buy one from IH UK and hopefully it's the correct size, if it isn't, I'll return for the correct size. I've been watching the forums and it seems like all the good stuff sells out instantly in all average sizes. Giles mentioned earlier in this thread that this particular shirt has a ton of request forms in already. It seems like sleeping on the hottest IH drops is not smart.

[Giles]

I think the link that Jaco posted should be pretty representative, Haraki says the 51 is the same size as the 32.

[bagley920]

Awesome, can't wait for measurements on these!

G, when these arrive would it be possible to take multiple macro shots? I am looking for evidence that these are as thick or thicker than the past heavyweight flannels. Maybe a side by side with one of the old ones? Thank you and sorry to create more work for you.

[Giles]

If you want these shipped out before we go to Japan, no…..
