    Fastest way is to just check the measurements in the online shop Silver

      I always check the measurements.

      But sometimes things fit strangely, one reason or another.

      You never know until you ask for specifics when it comes to clothing.

        That is all I would do.

          I'm not saying checking measurements is inaccurate.

          What I'm getting across is that even for the exact same item, across 2-4 different retailors, they will all have slightly different measurements most of the time. Usually, it's not an issue. But sometimes reported measurements may be different, causing some potential headaches when the item cannot be tried on in person.

            We always measure the same way.  And we measure again when we get a restock to ensure that any difference between production runs is highlighted.

            http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2834.0

            This is the way that the Japanese measure.  Other retailers choose to measure in different ways.

            So there are 3 reasons measurements between different retailers could vary:

            1. Different measuring method
            2. They don't bother measuring accurately, or when they get a restock
            3. "Japanese Seamstress Tolerance".  As human beings make this stuff, there is some variation even between items of the same size/model

            On the whole, you can trust our measurements, but you have to read them in conjunction with our measuring method.  We do, of course, make mistakes, but these are usually spotted by the more hawk eyed amongst you and are quickly corrected.

                Just snagged a large red in this from blackheart off eBay. Skipped the bidding for this gem, since H may never make cord again I've been on the prowl for one . Real fucking stoked. Can't wait till I've washed it 100 times

                  IMO one of our best shirts.  I have no idea why we still have so many left…..

                    I personally hated the feel of cord when I was a kid. So I still have an Aversion against that material.

                      If I gave you this to  hold with your eyes shut, you would have no idea it was cord….

                        Ok, could be worth a try 😉 I'm not sure how to say it in english - often cord has a kind of "blunt / velvet"-like touch. I always found it itchy and uncomfortable on the skin. But that goes for cheap trousers I was forced to wear in kindergarten.

                            Basically feels like velvet or velour. Fantastic stuff.

                            Think it, be it.

                                I'd love pyjamas made out of the IHSH-70 gray colorway with red collar and accents from this cord 😃

                                    Dude….. This shirt is amazing. Totally different feel than the cord pants. This is super soft with no coarse feeling immediately when you put it on. The pants were very coarse when you rubbed downward against the ridges.
