Great pics with the family but man, that’s a hard shirt to pull off in the heat [emoji3062][emoji3062][emoji3062]

It is. For some reason, the denim on this one isn't as breathable as the other 12oz denim shirts I own from Iron Heart. I shan't be doing that again. Sometimes you gotta just try something even though you know it's a bad idea.

@AdamJ out of interest, has the sizing on this restock changed at all?
I'm just personally curious as to what led me in April this year to buy the large, when the Medium now seems more than adequate, I usually aim for 21.6'' plus P2P. I love it, alot in fact, but I always wish it was a tad more fitted.

…set the hook on a XXXXL! Got to be a western cut man! Rock-a-billy madness! Stray cat strut!
-
…just took delivery of my 'Johnny Cash 3'. I am so fortunate that a XXXXL is an absolute perfect fit for me, if my P2P were just a couple of inches larger I would be out of luck.
...this shirt is a kick ass, rock & roll, country & western, bad ass, super monster killer mofo!
...so happy, so happy. -
Been rocking mine today too @vaquero357 after following @AdamJ washing guidance. Its now literally tailored to me and has overnight become a wardrobe favourite of mine. A badass shirt indeed, congrats on the scoop.

…even if you lack a personality, you could where it to the pub and the birds will just land on your arm, it's that cool!
...so happy.

I am little confused with Johnny Cash III measurements now. I bought one last year from Statement Store as XXXL, it fits good. So this shirt is for me as reference shirt for Western cut. I am now preparing to get new western shirt and noticed in comparing function that Johnny Cash III measurments are all „shifted“ to more big size….smth like old XXXL measurments are now XXL.

@hm1944, this happens more often with IH clothes when a restock arrives. The trick is to take the measurements of a well fitting shirt or pair of jeans as your benchmark, not the size tag.

Sizing varies between runs and/or fabrics for multiple reasons. If any brand says that all their XL shirt measure identically, they're bullshitting. A woven length of fabric can have different shrink/stretch characteristics form one end to the other because of the varying levels of humidity in the mill whilst the fabric is being woven.
This is why we do not have one sizing table for all our tops, or bottoms. Each product has its own sizing table.
The actual measurements of the shirt you have is the reference size for you, not the tag size.
For example, the IHSH-260-PPL being released next week is sizing smaller than most of our other shirts, it is likely that people will need to size up.
it would be a whole lot easier if everything measured consistently, but that just isn't the case I am afraid.

Thanks for responses. Yeah, this is exactly what I am doing, measuring and comparing, otherwise I would not have noticed this. Being away in tropics away from home some months my reference shirt is at home. Its earlier run Johnny Cash III XXXL with measured PtP 62cm (had to took out my notes to check it). So I remembered that Johnny Cash III XXXL is good for me, so I took this shirt to compare table in webshop. There I noticed the size shift and hence the question above. Everything is cool!

…the 'Johnny Cash 3' got me to break out the Stetson! But I'm more of a 'flat cap', 'Donegal' guy to be honest.
...even had a 'bartendress' at the pub on Sunday, reach across the bar and give the material a little feel completely unprompted! Put a smile upon my face.
...so happy.
