      This sticker came with my pants. Before I go out on a limb here…does this translate to "iron heart" in English?

            it does, and I can confirm that I checked and double checked the translation for that so many times before I sent that print. I think I carried on checking after it went to print!

              We had a guy once who loved a particular shirt we made that had Haraki's signature on it, but would not buy it (even though we told him what it said) in case it said something like "I am a twat".

              He proved his point….. 🙂 🙂 🙂

                    You need to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise for it to read correctly. It spells our how Japanese spell Iron Heart in kataka

                      Im thinking now that if Haraki had in fact written " I am a twat" on that shirt, my god it would be a collectors item.
                      And totally worth buying:)

                        Stupid random questions…..

                        Regarding arm holes....

                        Generally and relatively speaking for the same sizes (L vs L), do CPOs have larger arm holes than westerns and work shirts?

                        Do work shirts have larger arm holes than westerns?

                        Thanks in advance and apologize if this has already been asked.

                          That is the kind of question I love. And probs not so random, i bet you have a reason for asking.

                          If I were to put money on it then I’d expect CPO’s to have larger armholes than westerns or work shirts of the same size. They are designed as an overshirt for layering and it would make sense to have more room there.

                          Westerns vs. Work shirts? Intuitively I would think work shirts have a wider armhole, just because they are otherwise a more relaxed cut, but thinking about my IHSH-118 and 119, I recall the armholes being slim.

                          This stuff intrigues me so I’m going to check it out when I get the chance.

                          IHSH-178 vs. IHSH-33-IND vs. IHSH-165

                          I’ll get back to you.

                            I think there’s a noticeable difference between the arm holes of the westerns I have (192 & 240) vs the work shirt chambray (which number escapes me at the moment), but the cut is a bit looser as well. Work being bigger, but also it’s a far lighter and breathable shirt than say the heaviness of an IH flannel.

                              I have an UHF in the workshirt cut, so I can compare that too.

                                My XXL wabash workshirts have larger armholes than my XXL 33 Western. That sais, all other dimensions are slightly bigger too due to the style and purpose of their original design (I suppose). Because sizing of CPOs is intentionally bigger, I have always sized down to xl, so can't make a like for like comparison, but as @neph93 said, it would be a reasonable guess to say they'd be larger.

                                  I’m sure this has been asked before but what deodorant do you use that doesn’t leave pit stains on t-shirts? I’ve read that deodorants with aluminum whatever as an ingredient leaves pit stains, but my current deodorant doesn’t have aluminum in it. Any specific brands you’d recommend?

                                    I use Old Spice or Dove deodorant but not an antiperspirant. I tried using Toms but it didnt cut it for a long day at work.

                                        I used to be paranoid about wet patches under my armpits, but now I just think fuck it. Our bodies are designed to sweat. I used a mineral based deo (pit Rock roll on). That deals with any odour. Other than that I'm not too fussed what people think… What next? Waxing my chest and shaping my eyebrows? We have so many social etiquette 'rules' in the west, seriously, let us be.

                                        I understand that some people have medical conditions that make them conscious of symptoms such as sweating prefusely, that's a bit different.

                                        Not caring too much about what people think is pretty liberating, and one of the best lessons CBT taught me.

                                          In most cases I don’t worry about pit sweat because I’m usually wearing a dark tee as an undershirt and I don’t sweat in the winter. I’m only asking because I recently bought a white band tee, against my better judgement, and noticed light discoloration under the pits, which really bummed me out. I guess I’ll spray it with some oxyclean and give it a soak to see if it goes away.

                                            Oxyclean does the job, but I fear it is unavoidable in some cases. I get yellowing inside the collar band of white shirts (IHSH-67 and 119) and I don’t  use deodorant on my neck. I think it is a consequence of salt/sweat/oils from the skin, reacting with the cotton.
