IHW-01 (Melton Wool shirt)
-
I just received this shirt. Here are my thoughts.
1. The navy is so dark that I would consider it black (which I prefer to navy anyway). You can see that it is much darker than my navy curtains and jeans.
2. I would recommend wearing a long sleeve t-shirt underneath unless you have leather skin. The inside of the elbows especially itched while wearing short sleeves. I bought a form-fitting long sleeve shirt to wear under it because I didn't want any extra bulk in the sleeves since they are fairly narrow. The cuffs and neck have a cotton lining to prevent itching. The neck lining does not extend to the extreme top of the collar but the neck is large enough that it's not touching my skin.
3. I wear a medium in every Ironheart shirt I have and got a medium in this as well. The shoulders and chest fit great. The sleeves are perhaps 1 cm too long but it's nothing I'll complain about. For reference, I'm approximately 5'11'' and 155lbs (180cm and 70kg).
4. It's a great shirt and I would definitely recommend it. I'll take some better pics outside in the sunlight when I get a chance.

I used a Japanese proxy since I wanted to get this as soon as possible.

Nice! A true addict. Can't wait for mine to come. Thanks for the insight on the long sleeve shirt option.

A couple of our customers asked to see me in an XL.
This with just a T underneath:
And this is with a T and an XL IHSH-16 (Heavy Chambray) underneath. Works just fine, can do the cuff buttons on both shirts up, the tails on the Melton are longer than the Chambray and the whole thing is super comfortable:

Just picked mine up from FedEx last night. Excuse the poor lighting and excessive fuzz. Fit pics to come soon…
