I love the blue except I have limited opportunities to wear flannel…

[Beatle]

suprisingly  enough I love the green

6.8 oz is too lightweight for me to bother with this shirt.

There are seasons other than winter, you know…

@Daveo:

Good point Daveo. I know I'm weird. I'm just obsessed with Iron Heart heavy…and as I've mentioned before, I live in Oakland -- it pretty much never gets "hot" here. One can always justify a jacket, especially during evening hours. Still, I think Iron Heart's "best work" is in the heavy domain.

Jeebus, I wish NY would pick a season week to week…it was close to 80F last week and today it's around 50F...

Shit, just couldn't wait.  Proper pix in natural light tomorrow.  This is an XL….

Thank you G! I love that color!!!

[Giles]

So do I.  This one was an after-thought of Haraki's.  The Blue and Green are endangered, this version is (as we say in England), as rare as rocking-horse shit.  Maybe 10 at most coming out of Japan…G

I have now decided on 2 of these…

Large (yes there is one hell of a wind out there today):

[Giles]

Extra Large - I feel much more comfortable in this than the L. ..G

[Giles]

And Extra Large in (what Haraki calls) the Pink.  Not the best background to show it off at it's best, but possibly my fave of the 3 colourways in the large chacks:

Thanks for these fit flicks G! And your comment about feeling much more comfortable makes me much more comfortable with my XL decision for both IHSH-22's. Now do I get the XL of the IHSH-23 and shrink it like the good Dr., or do I get the L and carefully soak it only when needed?

G would you be so kind as to post the fit picks of a L and an XL on the IHSH-23 so I can go to bed after I confirm my size?

I got the IHSH-22 in size Medium.  I found it to be slightly larger than most IH shirts, but not as large as the IHSH-23.  I gave it two warm soaks, one at 40deg and one at 60deg.  The shoulders shrunk from approximately 46.25 to 45.25, and the other dimensions comparably.  The amount of shrinkage was a bit less than the IHSH-23.  Post-soak, I would say the fit on this shirt most closely resembles the IHSH-18, but with each dimension approximately 0.5 to 1 cm larger.

The IHSH-22 is much shaggier than the IHSH-19 and IHSH-23.  It's thicker than the IHSH-19 and seems to have approximately the same thickness as the IHSH-23.  The nap becomes matted down after washing but wearing the shirt causes a quick return to its shaggy state.  Unlike the IHSH-18 and IHSH-19, the pocket flaps and cuffs are not lined with chino.  This is a detail I would have liked to see in the current release of shirts, but perhaps they are too thick for it.

The pattern is possibly my favorite from IH.  I was considering getting the pink IHSH-22 to balance out the number of blue shits I own but I liked the design of the blue one too much.
