IHSH-235-OLV - 13oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Olive

Ugh… I’m jealous. Mine is crawling int’s way to me, seemingly stopping for a rest at every opportunity. This is my first new IH shirt in forever and I neeeeed it. Did you go with tour standard size?

[Wlemon]

It will get there!

I’m normally between an XL and XXL, and I opted for the XL since it was a little on the larger side for the measurements. Did I make the wrong choice? 

[Paul9221]

That fit looks great!  I also opted for my regular UHF size, even though it was on the bigger end.  Also waiting on mine to arrive.

[Wlemon]

The fabric, from last year, is very stiff at first but then becomes much softer with wear and a wash or two. The color is very lovely. Wish it was 94 in Los Angeles.

I'm in Playa Vista today. Brought my IHSH-33.  Too dang hot, even for that.

@Wlemon:

I’m sure you all want to see a sweaty picture of me in my garage trying the shirt on while my kids are screaming inside the house? I’m sure someone out there requested that.

You wouldn’t be a true IH fanboy if you didn’t go to extremes for a fit pic

Nope. you did not. Looks trim and fitted. Very good imho.

Also this news makes me ecstatic as I am a small XL. L measurements have always tempted me and when these came up slightly bigger I took the risk.

[Wlemon]

The fabric is very stiff, but my tan one from last year is very soft now. It just takes a bit. The color on this one is amazing. Looks even better in the light.

@RoxRocks86, I have to give the fans what they want…

Looks epic on you @Wlemon congrats.

My size M arrived this morning, thanks @Iron Heart Germany

Oh my it's exceptional, certainly a killer piece of shirting. It's dimensionally, excluding length, identical to my 'M' IHSH-246-NIN (my only other IH shirt in M) but its snug due to the difference in fabric weight /stiffness. I am left questioning if a Large would have been better. (Not that I had a choice in what turned out to be a race to the check out).

Is this military serge fabric known to soften and give a little, if so, I might be persuaded to persevere?

[Wlemon]

It won’t have the stretch like denim but it will become softer overtime. I would say it behaves similarly to the duck fabric. I think that would be a good comparison.

[GC]

Thats a useful comparison, thanks man.

We are discussing with Haraki about making this (and a work shirt version) as a constant item.

[Wlemon]

@Giles seems like a good idea. The fabric is lovely and the color of the green and last year's mocha are out of this world. Would love to see it in other earthtones colors.

H thinks it's possible, just double checking with Tom san…..

Been out of town since mine shipped [emoji2361] it’s waiting for me at the UPS facility… looks like I’ll just barely make it back in time before they send it back to Gosport [emoji1694]

This is a fantastic idea. The 13oz. Serge is wonderful and this green is epic! [emoji41][emoji122]

[neph93]

If this means making lots of the fabric then summer weight cargo’s in the 888 cut has to happen.

EDIT: North Norwegian summer. Obvs.

[sabergirl]

Cargoes in the black serge would be great.

I don't own cargo pants but this material could convince me to change that.
