IHSH-32 Ultra Heavy Flannel Western Shirt
-
I bought an IHSH-32 - Black - XL from selfedge.com a few weeks ago.
Kiya was pretty awesome. Answering my questions about the shirt promptly and efficiently. Shipping was pretty quick too. My goods arrive about 2 days slower compared to ironheart.co.uk.
As it was sold out pretty much everywhere, I quickly pulled trigger and snap one up.
Honestly, I am not a big fan of flannel shirts. The reason is because they normally come in really bright colors which unfortunately, I do not pull off well. Thanks to my broad shoulders. grumbles
I have a love-hate relationship with my shoulders. It's awesome for taking a guy down, but man buying clothes is a bitch. Thankfully Iron Heart products fit relatively well.
The thing that stood out to me the most was the color. I love my black / dark colors. It mask the width of my shoulder well. Big checks doesn't work for me either. Hence, the small checks + dark colors are just perfect for me.
The shirt is a beast. It's the heaviest and thickest shirt I currently own. EVERYONE keeps referring it to as a jacket! I normally prefer a more fitting shirt as I tend to not wear any shirts underneath it. The snap buttons are bloody awesome too. Great stitching as well.
However, the sizing for this is neither here nor there for me. The shoulder sizing is either half an inch too small or half an inch too big. (My shoulder is 18.5 inch. Chest is 42 inch) I tend to pick clothes with either an exact shoulder length or half/one inch bigger.
Wearing a shirt with a smaller shoulder length than my own, makes moving/stretching my arms really uncomfortable.
The IHSH-32 - Black - XL fits comfortably for me. If I'm wearing a T-Shirt underneath, the shoulder sizing fits well. Same goes for the chest sizing. Any bigger would be too much. To me, it doesn't fit like a fitting shirt. It fits more like a fitting pajamas top. About 1-2 inches too loose for the chest, but extremely comfortable. Nothing a little alteration can't fix.
All in all another great product by iron heart. It's my favorite shirt for kicking back and chilling at my friend's or family's place.

+1 on so many levels. I am the same size (and so are G, Lando and numerous others on the forum I think) and most XL in IH shirts fit me well. Can't say the same on other Japanese brands….. If the chest gives me 2-3 inches extra room and the shoulder fits, I am all good.
Enjoy wearing it, and of course, fit pics please!

deanBoth SE and DC4 have sold out the grey one.
You can still get the red one in here: http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/craft-ac/ihsh32r.html
You will probably need to use a Japanese proxy and factor in service fee, bank charges and shipping. -
ddrock - Throw an entry in the WTB thread, too. You never know what can pop up.

http://www.sharpservice.jp is one I've used. Hide is very cool and the fees aren't bad.

Go to Sharpservice and send Hide an email specifying the item/colour/size you want, including the website address. He will email you back with all the fees/charges. He works almost 24/7! Fees/charges include bank wire fees/paypal/shipping/service. Pay him and he will do all the work for you. Shipping is fast and you will get it in a few days assuming the retailer still has it in stock. I normally get my fix from G or Kiya, but if they are out of stock, this is the route I would take. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out.
