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.

Thank you G! I love that color!!!

I have now decided on 2 of these…

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.
