It doesn’t have the reinforced button, is it genuine?

i think they stopped with the reinforced buttons because of quality control issues.

& sorry i can't answer your question based on just your single image. i will say i have never seen or heard of an Iron Heart product being bootlegged . . . if that is any help.

Looks genuine
Button prob fell off
There was a problem with that for a while
Since corrected

[madmonday]

looks like the real deal to me.

i really think they stopped with the backing of the buttons cause of the issues they were having.

in any event, if it is a knock-off, it looks pretty good from where i'm sitting 

[jacoavlu]

you may be correct
mine has them
bought it a few months ago
just before the last restock

[Giles]

yes, we stopped adding the reinforcing buttons because they caused too many problems and we found out that they were stronger without….G

I got one of these waiting for me at the office… It's hard to say on a saturday morning, but I almost can't wait to get back to work... my first iron heart shirt

nice, I know that feeling!  This was my first IH product as well (and still my only one actually, though I hope to change that soon).  It's a good choice!  I love chambray shirts and have had a ton of them from all sorts of companies.  I have and have had a lot of really nice ones but none that was the equal of this….it really is the ultimate in a chambray workshirt.

another weekly driver for me.  pretty sure you can catch me wearing this with my 666s & IHSW-02
at least once a week until May 2012, then i might take off the hoodie(s)

Just found out we are going to extinct this.  We will be doing another run of IHSH-13, but the IHSH-21 is to be no more…..

[Simon]

Sad news indeed, still my favorite shirt    Must be a big seller?

[Giles]

We are releasing 2 new blue chambrays in this cut soon, if that helps alleviate the pain…...

[Simon]

Suddenly the future looks rosy again!

[madmonday]

sad to hear this, was hoping this shirt would be the shirt equivalent of 634S.

two new blues you say, got to look through the Japan trip thread to get reminded of what might be coming down the pike.

I have no doubt they will be stellar!

Just began hand washing/ boil soaking my XL. Forgot to take pre measurements but the site has them so not to worry. I will document the shrinkage as soon as it dries.

IH UK Site Measurements for raw XL:

Chest - 23.5"
Shoulder - 19"
Sleeve - 26"
Length - 30"

My measurements after a 1 hour hot soak, machine hot wash, and hang dry:

Chest - 21.75"
Shoulder - 17.25
Sleeve - 25.5"
Length - 29.5"

Looks like I definitely got some needed shrinkage out of it!

haven´t expected all that shrinkage.
glad it worked out though…now you don´t have to trade/sell and have one extinct item more in your closet ;)...

Exactly. It is still a bit loose but that is the nature of a workshirt. Glad all my annoying questions to G worked out. Apologies to everyone that had to deal with my mental slip ups on this one as well.
