      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.

                Our shipment of these, and the khaki and natural chambrays (and all those special jeans you ordered - sliver rivets, crotch rivets, special lengths…..) left Japan today.  Hurrah

                  They're here.  This is an L (not an XL like I normally wear in Iron Heart).  I'm 6'2" and 175 with a 42" chest….

                    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:

                          Good fit on the IHW-01 Lando!  The MFSC P-Coat looks great too (in SuFu)…

                              argh, i've been waiting for the melton since it was first announced but still can't spend the money after buying my 634SRs. since i live in the bay area i'm sure i can just use this as a jacket..

                              maybe after the new year.

                                            Not even on the inside of your elbows?  I always wear a long sleeve shirt underneath.
