      The ombre got a unexpected cold soak last night on the bike, outside still drying, see if there is any shrinkage at all. I am expecting very little.

        Thanks @Giles, I need to add to the "what you think we should make thread".  Been keeping close tabs on the release schedule.  I think my bank account will suffer enough without a crimson and grey flannel in the mix

                  I'll just echo what others have said, in that the color is so nice in person.  Such a stunner of a shirt, but alas the sleeves are too long for my lumpy body so my XL is going back to IHUK.

                    The sleeve length is the only reason that shirt isn't currently hanging in my closet. Emailed SelfEdge and Kiya said they'll have them in the stores on Sept. 22nd. Going to go and try one on and see if I can deal with the sleeve length. Also been reading up on sleeve shortening. Some say you should shorten from the shoulder,and some say you should go from the cuff. Anyone have any experience in that area?

                      No experience but surely cuff is the simplest option?

                        Not sure how that would work with the extra snap.

                          At yes… Good point. As a fellow T-Rex I sympathise. Hope you find one that works.

                            I also pondered if I should keep the purple ombre and have the sleeves shortened.  But even if I succeeded in finding a tailor that is up to Iron Heart standards, the final sum would be an awful lot of coin for a shirt.

                              That's why I want to try one on and see it in person before I decide what to do. Stay tuned!

                                Maybe hot washing it will work out?

                                    Problem is the only thing I want to shrink is the sleeves. So I should take the sleeves off,wash them in hot water,hope they shrink about an inch and then just reattach them. BRILLIANT!!!! You have to understand that I genuinely want this shirt. I'm also not a work shirt guy.

                                      If I were in your situation, I would see two possible solutions  🙂

                                      1. calculate the amount of time that you will wear the sleeves rolled up.  for me this is >60% at the very least.
                                          -so then zero fucks could be given about the sleeve length

                                      2. commit to buying-hot.washing-wearing.while.damp, and then wearing hard for a time to crease the elbows and wrists and cuffs enough to eat up that extra length you are so desperate to avoid.
                                          -when you combine that  with whatever amount of shrinkage you are able to achieve, i believe it should solve the problem.

                                      i am 5'7" with wide shoulders.  I wear a M and L in IHSH's, so a size bigger than what is ideal for my other dimensions.  Sleeve length has never been an issue, the creases eat up some length for me

                                        @adam313 Thanks so much for taking the time to help me resolve my shirt dilemma. I'm about 5'8",but I weigh about 175. Thanks to 45 years of beer drinking I have an old guy/dad bod,so I need all the dimensions of an IH XXL,but the sleeve length. Like I said I'm going to go and try it on and see how it fits/looks and I'll keep what you said in mind. Once again thanks for your input.

                                          Well the new sizing is something to consider = a full inch longer sleeves than previously.  Glad I got my shirt fix in before this, as I consider myself to have relatively long arms, and the previous measurements were spot on.  An extra inch is too much fabric for me to wrangle with given the overall cost of the shirt, even though I roll them up most of the time.  Will have to watch and admire from afar.  This one is a beauty.
