IHSH-23 Small Check Flannels

[PacNW]

Hello to everyone. Hopefully this is the right forum but I am new to the whole Japanese sizing thing and want to make sure I get this right.

I have a RRL oxford shirt in medium (which I'm told runs a little small due to Japanese sizing). This shirt fits perfectly, it is fitted just like I like. I am looking at the sizing chart and just want to make sure that a medium in this case means a medium in normal Japanese/Iron Heart flannels. I noticed that the sizing for these new flannels runs all the way up XXL. Basically, I just want to make sure that a medium doesn't mean small, and a small means extra small. Sorry if that is confusing at all, lol, but I appreciate any help I can get.

Not sure if this will help but I am about 5'11" 165lbs, athletically built/proportionate.

Thanks again and I look forward to purchasing my first Iron Heart flannel!

I'm 6'2 and 185 and wear an XL.  I suspect you may be an L…G

I always measure a shirt that I like the fit of and then try to match that…

[Giles]

Perfect advice Daveo - couldn't have put it better myself…G

Thanks for the advice guys. Based off of the measurements I took of my RRL shirt that fits perfectly I'm leaning towards the medium. The sleeve length is the only thing that concerns me a little.

I've noticed that some of the measurements from this site don't match what self edge has on their site, ie. the heavy winter flannel. If I were to go off of their medium measurements, then I'm golden. I'd rather have it be a little small than a little big so I'll probably go with my gut and choose the medium.  Enough with the rambling and thanks again.

The only other "Japanese" sized shirt I have is a SuperDry shirt, which is a large and is just a little too big.

They are different shirts. Compare your measurements to those of this website's webstore. Giles (or Mrs. P) did the measurements and you can hold those to be spot on.

PacNW, if the sleeve length is such a concern just go with the larger size.  It's always better imo to have a shirt a little big than a little small, just because you can always take it to a good tailor and have them adjust accordingly.

I am wondering if I wash my IHSH-23 Purp, can I get it to be more muted like this??? The other purple is just too bright for me. I like how the Blue in this version is more dominant than the Purple…

[Guest]

I see what you say, Lando. I like both colors. However, I doubt you can mute down the purple in the new version to be a pale blue like the one you posted. That's quite a difference. Maybe after washing it a 100 times. But then it would probably be a rag anyway.

[Guest]

still thinking it's going to be way more white looking in person.

I was just thinking how if everybody who comes to the IH meetup in London was wearing the purple shirt…can u imagine ? Giles - they are gonna be at the castle first week of April , right ? Can´t wait to put this on in time for spring***

I was on the fence about it not only because I felt like it would be really popular but also because I liked the more muted color of the purple in the first picture. Against my better judgment, I told G to put one in my pile. I am now having a new feeling about the shirt, I want it!!! I might wait a little while to get it as there is other stuff I NEED! It would be hilarious to all wear purple and orange IH stuff to send to Haraki-San!

[Beatle]

I am delighted to hear that you decided to put it on the pile* maybe if it gets here before sfo I will wear it on the plane so u have no problem spotting me***

Hahaha! I am sure I will have no problem. I feel like I could spot any one of you in a crowd. I will look for the super stylish girl with the IH duffel and the new haircut.
