IHW-01 (Melton Wool shirt)
-
Another idea for this outstanding piece of art: quilt line it so it can be used as a rider's jacket in the winter. By winter, I mean wimpy winter in Paris, not winter in Chicago!

I think for riding you would want a zip. You could consider the IHW-02 (not quilt lined) in the wool version:

But Kiya is doing a quilt lined version with ultra heavy cotton flannel outer:

Thanks Giles, I had seen those, but I prefer the plain blue or black color of the 01! That's why I was making this suggestion.

Hey guys, a pal of mine who spends a lot of time in japan was kind enough to pick me up this shirt in medium on one of his visits (i think at a Hinoya store). The quality of this shirt is incredible!
It pains me to say however, that the medium might be a tad too small for me. I haven't decided what to do yet , but if i throw this up on ebay would any of you guys be interested? Ive only worn it about 5 times… Just thought id give you guys a heads up as it may be a 'buy it now' kind of auction. Its in navy.

You can always put it up in the Buy and Sell section first

Got my melton today and it's beast!

yeah, the XL melton is a bit small too, though all other ironheart XLs are fine.
the arm opening/cuffs are a bit tight, so i'll probably uncuff them
but i haven't worn it out yet, so haven't decided completely whether i should exchange for XXL or not -

1rst Edition Navy today. There is a huge difference in the feeling of my worn in version and my new Black one. It is funny, the buttons and everything on my older Navy one are loose, but on my new Black one things are tight and hard to get on. Don't fear, they will break in and when they do…... You will LOVE IT!!!

I always open the Melton before I go into the office..so weird when I'm just standing there trying to open my shirt …but I also think things will loosen up..
We can do anything

During the first week I had my Navy IHW-01, I broke two nails trying to button it! Now after wearing it EVERY FUCKING DAY (it's that great), things are more manageable…

Yeah, just like trying to button up the waist on a brand new pair of 634SR, but you will have to do that 4 to 6 times every time you put on this shirt when it is new. It's brutal on the fingers!
-
me too, the melton definitely made me feel like a weakling the first time i tried to button it.
