IHSH-78 - Indigo Dyed Hickory Stripe Work Shirt
-
G, are u sure the length is correct on the xxxl? Only .2" longer then the xxl
-
Np thx boss
-
Measurements are on the IH Japan site too I think
-
Are they similar?
-
Having a hard time fighting off the urge to get this one. More extensive pics on Sunday will test me sorely.

Paging Snowy. Snowy to the 78 link, please…
Thank you
Doing the measurements now. What a happy Friday this is -
Measurements look so good to me but the 35 nor the 68 worked for me so alas… This seems to be more tapered though... Awaiting first review...
I'm still not sure what to make of the numbers…...A 33 Medium is almost the same size as a 78 Small....And Westerns are meant to be more fitted from what I recall? goes back to tape measure & mirror again
EDIT: Upon looking closer it's almost identically sized to 36. 36M fits VERY nicely. Trigger pulled.

I really wanted to sell my 07 and get this beauty but it looks as if the xxxl is gonna come up too short
Fingers crossed it was just a measuring error -
Hey pP, I checked on Iron Heart Japan's site, and although it's not nearly as reliable as a confirmation from G, the measurements look accurate. The sizing only goes up to XXL, but Heather's measurements appear to be within .2 inches of IHJ's; which is basically identical, considering the smaller stock (I'm assuming) that G received – potentially altering the averages due to smaller sample size.
Ultimately, I agree that an extra inch in length would have been great, but I wasn't deterred by it. If you look at the length of your 72 and the length of the XXXL here, there is only a .2 inch difference (I'm assuming the length of your 72 based on IHUK's measurements). The sleeves are still long, like the 75. I understand if you decided to hold off because you have the 07; it's a damn nice shirt. If you're like me, and are trying to add some work shirts to a western-dominated rotation, then I think you should go for it. Worst case, you know you can always send it back if it doesn't fit.

I second that. I have been waiting for a work shirt that will work…. I have oodles of westerns and will be nice for a change

Your never gonna get a long sleeved/long bodied Workshirt, unless Giles commissions it. People in Japan are not as huge as us North Americans. The 75 is different because it was commissioned by Giles. Workshirts are also supposed to have shorter sleeves and length (compared to westerns), so the worker doesn't get extra fabric caught in a machine or something (but that's just what history shows).
-
Right on. I'm just saying the 78 works for me so I grabbed it
-
Sean- by my measurements it is the same as my 72. The 72 is as short as id like and sometimes i even thint too short. The arm length seems great on the 78, much better then my 72 and not as silly as the 78 lol. I was jus really hopin for atleast 31-31.5 for length in a xxxl. Might do it anyway, still thinkin
Mike- im not expecting anything ridiculous for length lol. I just think that the length on a xxxl should be comparable to the other measurements. There is a .8" diff in chest for xx to xxx and only an increase of .2 for length. I guess its a good thing that all the shirts dont work for me or id be broke lol. This one is right at my limit of what i think looks good on me so im hesitant
