      @selvedgejack:

      My chest measures 21.5" and my shoulders 18" off of my favorite shirt. Favorite shirt has a little give but definitely slim fit. When I raise my arms from the side vertically, I can feel the fabric restrict but still allow me to comfortably fully raise my arms vertically.

      So my height is 5'5" if that helps.

      My guess is that I am probably not a SM, although I can probably get in it. A MD and LG is probably where I need to make a decision. From looking at the chart, it feels like the difference in a MD and LG is quite modest.

      Any tips? Right now, I would err on LG just for the comfort and the possibility it might shrink even a eensy teensy bit (versus i doubt it would ever stretch).

      Hi there, first of all, this shirt will not shrink at all. It is over-dyed and that is quite an aggressive process that strips all the shrinkage out of a material. It may stretch a little, but that will only be in the areas put under stress (so shoulders and chest) and it won't be much as the amount of material involved isn't a lot.

      You should also consider the fabric of this shirt as a 12oz it is quite a solid item. Going too small can be a problem with this heavy a shirt.

      Finally I think that getting the fit right on the chest first is the best move. If you fit that correctly then the rest should drape of form to your body after a while. Good luck.

        Thank you neph93!

        I did not consider the heftiness of the fabric as much as I should have. I’ve measured a work shirt I also enjoy wearing that closer resembles the fabric as opposed to my favorite shirt is a chambray button down.

        So when I ordered, my IH sales person said the shirt they have is actually 18.5 shoulders and 22 p2p. My work shirt is actually 18.5 as well and my chest is 21.5 on both so I am satisfied. When I move my arms around with the work shirt, the heavier fabric acts a lot differently than the chambray button down so I think I ordered the L correctly.

        I’ll update later this week when I get it. Hopefully future buyers will find this exchange useful!  😉

            I am not sure why there are not more posts about this shirt. It is so awesome in person. I have the IHSH-178, which is a beast, but this holds its own. I'd love to see more pictures of a couple months wear.

                    @floho.hh:

                    Bought the 33B around one year ago. Since then a trusty companion on my travels if I need a light "jacket".

                    Really love the shirt.

                    Did you do a soak on that shirt when you first got it?  Any agitation to start a little fade?

                      @D-Hess Ah sorry, I just saw you asked me a question.
                      No, I didn't soak it at the start. Just wore it quite a lot in the first year and the fades will come quite quickly.

                        I've been wearing the shirt more often. Everyone mistakes it for a jacket but hey that's Iron Heart for you.  🙂

                            I understand that the overdyeing process makes this shirt a size smaller than it otherwise would be, which presumably accounts for Sam taking an L instead of the usual M. But then what accounts for Giles taking two sizes larger than Sam rather than the usual one? (I ask because 'one size larger than Giles' seems to be a pretty good rule for me!)

                              @Yltas I too follow the "one-larger-than-@Giles" rule. We seem to overlap sometimes, though. I have an XXL in this shirt. I'm normally around a 23.2 inches pit to pit and the shirt fits me perfectly. Hope that helps.

                                Actually @Sam  has been taking L’s for a while now. Too many pies [emoji23]

                                I believe @Giles (and @Sam, I was only jesting earlier) sizes up in this beacause of the length. It would come up very short on a tall guy. It is worth mentioning that G increasingly wears XL’s also.

                                  Thanks guys, that's really helpful. @Wlemon your pics have been influential in steering me towards this shirt actually!

                                    That's awesome! It's an underated western imo. It seems like there are some core IH products that go under the radar. I think it's because of all the awesome special releases. Anyway, I love this one. Part of me wished I "pimped" it; however, and I can't say for certain, the snaps on my seem different, like they also went through the overdyed process. They have a muted black look to them in person, almost as if they were dark blue. I'll take a picture when I get home.

                                      @neph93 I was feeling outraged by that comment until I noticed I was eating a slice of pizza for breakfast…  😞

                                        We all know you have the physique and louche poise of a top male model and the metabolism of an 18 year old @Sam . I bet you couldn’t get fat if you tried [emoji8]
