    I’m happy for all you warmer climate folks, I really am. The last major short sleeved shirt commitment IH made was a Spring/Summer collection about four years ago. There were a load of great chambray shirts in various colours but for some reason they sold slowly. That may be the reason there haven’t been too many the past few years.

    There seems to be a lot of interest this time around so I do hope they move a bit quicker. If they do I’m sure they will become a staple product line.

      Man I hope so! I know you've mentioned the earlier short sleeve runs in the past. I'm lucky to live in the Arizona mountains so I can enjoy 25oz denim with a UHF and jacket in the cold months and the 14oz (or shorts) with the lightweight short sleeve shirts in the summer.

      I honestly feel lucky to have come across Iron Heart. In the before times I had always struggled finding clothes that fit the way I wanted. Sometimes I think about buying multiples of certain products because I want to wear this stuff until I'm dead. So, cheers to you Iron Heart crew.

        If people buy it then it gets made and Giles will stock it. They definitely moved slowly last time around, but I do think the growth of the brand in the US over the last few years will be a decisive factor here, so the time seems right to try again.

        As for being thankful for IH, I feel you. Yes it costs money, and can be a serious drain on the finances, but I too appreciate being able to buy and wear clothing that works for my climate and lifestyle, that become a fixture in my life. It adds a whole new layer of meaningfulness to the prosaic activity of buying clothes and getting dressed in the morning.

          I've just seen this thread now, and my top three are:

          • IHJ-99-IND

          • IHSW-55-IND

          • IHSH-283-WHT

            Excellent choices Graeme… not sure how much wear I’d get out of the Boss shirt, but it really is nice.

              It was actually a toss up between the Boss shirt and the IHSH-276. But since the latter was getting a lot of love, I thought that I'd be a contrarian. 😃

              There are a few other things that I like. The Mountain Parka looks great.

                Well said, @neph93  !

                Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                Well, I have others.

                    Yes indeed. I think you will be quite impressed with this denim.

                      The turquoise fleece CPO

                      The black fleece CPO

                      The 888 SST

                      Of course right after I bought another pair of regular 888 21oz…

                      I need to go hit the axlotl tanks and grow more clones so I can actually wear all the stuff I want, brb.

                        Top two are easy:

                        • IHSH-284-IND - 6oz Wabash Short Sleeved Work Shirt - Indigo
                        • IHSH-277-IND - 9oz Selvedge Ombré Check Work Shirt - Indigo

                        After that there are several contenders for #3…

                          Had to sleep on this a bit

                          1. IHJ-97-GRN  Dig the green color a lot.  Looks like a chill piece that could get a lot of wear

                          2. IHSH-284-IND Wabash is a fever that only more Wabash can cure

                          3. IH-555-SST We all know H is a genius & I have faith my range of motion will be restored

                            I may need to use that in the future…. genius.

                            As for the SST... keep the faith alive and it will be repaid.

                              The SS21 collection has been revealed and it is big and bold. Lots to choose from, including a slew of new items, and reconfigured classics.

                              What are your reactions to the collection as a whole? If you could only choose three items what would they be?

                              My top three:
                              1. IH-666-SST

                              The idea of having the 666 in the dimensions intended and actually being able to get into them makes me so very happy.

                              2. IHV-40-BRN

                              I have the IHV-08 beach vest and it is one of my favourite pieces of all time. Pimping it with leather patch pockets makes buying another one an easy choice.

                              3. IHSH-276-IND

                              Just brilliant. A beautiful, beautiful shirt.

                              So I ended up not buying any of these 😄 The 276 went too quickly, the IHV-40 and the IH-666-SST are both still very real possibilities however. Bought a load of other stuff too 🥰

                              New thread for the F/W going up shortly.
