@Crit_Obs These are in production, but only just. So expect to wait 2-3 months. If you have not already done, click on the red cross on your size in the add to cart area and you will get an email when we do restock….
Thanks Giles. I did sign up for the restock notification, but I spy there are some in size L left at R&H, might yet cop one from there…
Is the IHSH-178 restock to be expected at a similar schedule as well?
Okay it seems I was way off with my estimation of which size I would be. Had a chance to take an IHSH-207 out for a spin today and had to go with XXL as couldn't lift my arms with anything smaller; also dabbled with an IHSH-33-Indigo in L and that was a non-starter.
Do you take the same size in 177/178 as you would with an UHF such as the 207? Giles does, do others? I can read the measurements and see where they differ, but I also realize the different fabrics affect the fit.
177 is still in stock in XL as well as XXL and 178 in the latter… Wish I had done this research a couple of weeks ago.

By the sounds of things XXL might be right for you. I’d go XL in the 177 and take XL in UHF’s. I could get into an L 33 without a problem although it maybe fitted.
Judging by the photos you are like 6'3" with wide shoulders/athletic build, yet you could consider wearing a 33 in L? I call sorcery.

Only 6’ (6’2” in Wesco [emoji1]) and I weigh 202lbs. An L would work although it would be snug. I’d maybe go XL because of shrinkage. The 177/8 is all shrunk out so you won’t have that problem.
I think the wisdom is to go with your standard IH size with these but I guess how you wear it may play a part. If your looking at layering as is intended or if you’ll wear it over a tee or a-shirt.

Heya gents, is there an restock of these fine, fine shirts on the radar?
Late January as per the most recent update:

I used to have the IHSH-76 which was the og version but it was a little big for me so I moved it on. I miss it badly but the fit wasn’t right.
You know, I had the same issue with the 178. I had picked it up in a size L, same as my UHFs, but it just never fit quite right. I had to keep telling myself "this looks great!", but the sleeves were too long.
I had the opportunity to try a M at SE:LA and instantly fell in love. Some might say the fit was kinda small but not me (I'll post pics soon). Since then, I've practically been living in that shirt. I put it on as soon as I get up and it stays on me until I fall asleep. I'm so glad I sized down on it, I recommend you try sizing down if yours was a tad big, because it's too practical, tough, and beautiful to skip!

@Paul9221 I think it's something about the way the 76/99's and the 177/178's are cut. They are designed as jackets that look like shirts, (longer sleeves, longer in the body and slightly wider through the middle, and intended to be worn over layers (hoodies/shirts). I don't look good (or feel comfortable) in that double shirt combo that a lot of folks around here rock so well. The point being if you want to wear these badboys as a shirt over a tee or a singlet (my preference) then tts or size down.
