    Thank you, Jim. I'll be giving these shirts some serious consideration based on your recommendation, since I need to start looking for healthier shirt alternatives.

      I wear a size small in gitman vintage shirts. Curious to know how iron hearts shirts compare (size wise). The small gitmans fit me nicely (maybe a little snug pit to pit and a tab too long). I would be looking for a slightly less "fitted" look in iron heart shirting. Advise appreciated.

        I recently bought a shirt from them. It was very nice but too small. Waiting for the bigger one now.
        I normally have an L in most shirts, sometimes even M.
        I ordered this in L and it was too small, especially the sleeves were too short. But then I have long arms.
        So you might have to size up.

          I think it can depend where you fall on the size spectrum.  I have a good handful of Gitman shirts, all in size large.  They are definitely more generous fitting than my IHSH-21 which is also in a large.  The shirts are very good for the price I think.  No, they aren't super overbuilt like the IH shirts but at 1/2 the price I wouldn't expect that either.  For oxfords they are very well made, nice buttons that are solidly attached and they hold up (and wash up) very nicely in my experience.  I think the collar is one of the best things about them, they have the nicest height, shape, and roll to their button down collars.  Oxford cloth is nice and substantial, but the new Japanese oxford-chambray fabric they are using on some styles this year is my favorite.  It's lighter weight but just has something that I really like that is hard to describe.

            ^ I couldn't have asked for a better write-up. If I am a medium in most–if not all--IH tops, would you recommend opting for a small or going with the same size?

              Alright, I now received the shirt in XL. And if you have long arms (I need 26 inches) this is not the shirt. The sleeves are still to short and the cut is now quite baggy. L was fitting much better except for the sleeves. I should have kept that and just wear it with sleeves rolled up.
              All in all a nice shirt, just not for slim guys with long arms. But I have that problem with most shirts.

                    I'm a XXL in most Iron Heart shirts, but do have a slim fitting IHSH-21 in XL. I use L in Gitman Vintage, so I would definately size down.

                            got my grubby paws on two larges & i they are nice shirts (photos this evening).  the construction & fit are great & i can wear tucked or untucked & they still look pretty good.

                            on the hunt for a blackwatch plaid in a L for less than retail (so i can match my kids school uniforms  ;D)

                            not sure if i would do retail on these, but you know, i say that about most things these days

                                    Backed. Unless it's IH items but that goes without saying…

                                      the cuffs & the collars on these shirts are strong & seem to be constructed to take plenty of abuse & still last a while. i have shirts from other manufaters & the difference in those two areas are what really stands out about these shirts.

                                      thanks to a great guy that must of had the holiday spirit i scored a nice bundle of really grade A+ shirts:

                                      any body with Gitman Vintage shirts in size L, with reasonable asking prices, i'm all ears.

                                        I'm cold. Must be because I gave away all my Gitmans… Glad they arrived and that you are happy with them! Apparently I am a Medium.

                                          yeah i think you would be a medium based on the way these Larges fit me. . . . don't worry they are getting plenty of play (all bright & sh!t) & i have to get up flicks doing my old man steez with my nice Baracuda that i snagged from some nice gentleman.
