IHSH-290-GRN - 10oz Mock Twist Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt - Green
-
Hey what size would this be for Giles? I usually get the 99% of the time I grab the same. I notice Graham is a XL in this one and I usually size up from him but the chart is throwing me off.
Giles will be XL. @Graham used to take XL in everything but has slimmed a little and takes the occasional L when measurements allow. I suspect the L in this was borderline for him and he was in-between sizes.

Green is my favorite color, I was so worried when I saw the initial measurements and short sleeves.
But… many thanks to @Ben for finding me a sleeve length in size L long enough to cover my gorilla arms!
Looking forward to seeing this next to the IH flannel, denim, kersey, serge, twill, and wool in the closet.
Fit pics to come!

Hi.
Quick question for anyone in the know. Is the green on the dark or light side?
Thanks -

@piranha I would second what Boras said and put this shirt at a solid medium green.
An interesting thing I've noticed so far however is that the shirt tends to "catch the light" and appear darker or lighter depending on your surroundings. Right now my shirt looks quite dark – but it was nice and sunny earlier and it looked much lighter. And actually case in point, you can see this effect quite dramatically by looking at the photo I posted above vs the photo of @Graham modeling the shirt for IH.

I feel like I need to post something in this thread for posterity.
I hope that this won't be the case but the fact that these shirts haven't already flown off the shelves has me thinking that years from now, someone is going to say "Man, you guys should re-run the IHSH-290-GRN!" and someone (probably Reuben :D) will chime in that a re-run is unlikely because it didn't sell that well originally.
I just want it on the record that it's taking a WHOLE LOT OF WILLPOWER for me not to pull the trigger on this shirt. It hasn't happened mostly because you guys have damn near cleaned me out over the last 6 weeks with fantastic drops! Like @sabergirl , I'm saving up for the 888XHSMB and I just can't pick up the 888XHSMB and this shirt. But let the record show that that the absence of my credit card being ninja-starred across the pond is not due to the shirt's lack of awesomeness, for it lacks none, but due to the state of California insisting that I pay stupid sums of property tax.

Move out of CA. Problem solved…

I was ready to pull the trigger on this but the measurements weren't in my favor. Thankfully the red western is perfect. Any Iron Heart chambray is an instabuy for me if the measurements work.

Honestly @Paul9221 you might want to make an exception. I have just about every ticket item from IH at this point and I must say that this is probably my favourite.
There's just something about the colour and quality of construction (albeit this obviously applies to all IH products…) that screams best dress shirt you'll ever own.
And for anyone talking about measurements...outside of the arms being too small just go to a tailor. You're paying so much for the shirt, what's another 15-20?
