I don't think so I am afraid. I'll try and make sure we remember 4XL next time we order…..

You won't be disappointed. The 07 was my first Iron Heart shirt. It sometimes hurts my eyes and brain while I'm looking at it and the moiré effect is a trip.
-
Ditto that @Palmer, the IHSH-07 was my entree too. In respect of my interest and love of IH, it has a lot to answer for…
@jothishan it's a fantastic shirt, literally pairs with everything so well.
-
@GC You are correct! I need another shirt that I can pair with almost any bottom, be it a denim or a chino or summer shorts and I trust this IHSH-07 can handle that!
-
Shirt just landed - this one is really nice and I think will become a firm favourite!
Unfortunately.. I have encountered a problem in that Miss Thor now appears to recognise Ironheart packaging…. and she doesn’t appear to understand the concept of essential purchases

Ah… yes. That is a well known phenomenon. There are measures that can be taken, dark arts that can be learnt. But they come at a price. Your soul.

I've used the dark arts numerous times since I contracted a severe Iron Heart addiction. I may be going to Hell but at least I'll be dressed well!

I'm slowly and deliberately slipping into this addiction.

Hickory dickory dock
there was a knock
the door unlocked
and there came the stockIt felt like draping a cardboard across when I tried it first. I'm sure it softens after wear! Looking forward to breaking them in!
Love that red stitch lining!

What @den1mhead said

Guys, can I expect some shrinkage on this one? Right now it is a bit loose around the chest (P2P) area. Would like it a bit snug! So if I wash it at 40° C, can I expect some shrinkage?

Product page says no. Once washed already so little or no shrinkage.
40C wouldn’t do much anyway as the “one wash” would have been hotter than that. You may get shrinkage at 60C, and would almost certainly get shrinkage if you subjected it to a 90C wash. There is a trade off there however as 90C temps may cause some undesirable effects as well as the looked for shrinkage.
-
If I can get any shrinkage, that would be a blessing for me!
Another question, will this material soften after use / wash? It is tougher than the other 9 oZ that I got from IH recently!

Not sure if you already saw my post from earlier in the thread, but in case you didn't, here are my shrinkage results for a medium I bought in January.
I didn’t measure it in between the two washes, but based on the fit, my guess is the first wash gave it about 75% of the difference, and the second wash just snugged it up a bit more.
Can’t say the temp I used; it was my washer’s highest setting.
Shoulder: 17.5 => 17.3
Length: 30 => 29.3
Chest: 21.8 => 21.5
Waist: 20.5 => 20.25
Opening: 21 => 20.75
Sleeve: 26 => 25.3My experience is it starts off very stiff after the hang dry (maybe stiffest of all my IH shirts), but quickly becomes very soft.
-
So this shirt came back from a 30° wash and there is some shrinkage, but that is definitely to my liking (measurements in cm):
1. Length 73.0 -> 71
2. Sleeve 63.5 -> 62
3. Chest 52.2 -> 51
4. Waist 49.7 -> 49I hope it does not shrink any further!
-
Came back from a second 30° wash and I can confirm that there is no shrinkage any further. All the measurements post first wash are intact!
