IHSH-235-OLV - 13oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Olive
-
As an IH newbie I wanted to post my experience with sizing this shirt. The slightly larger dimensions resulted in my going down to an L from XL. I got an L with the biggest chest measurement that matched another XL western which fit perfectly. The shoulders were just a touch smaller. Despite the chest fitting fine in the L, the arm holes were just too high and the sleeve around my forearms were tight to the point that I could not fully flex my arms. Hope this helps others when debating sizing down. For me it was better to get a smaller XL.

Thanks for sharing. This is my issue too. I went for the L from the last run, but I’m actually a small XL. Sometimes it works out, but it is often what happens between the known measurements that cause a problem.
In this case, my L is borderline too small, and the arms/armholes were somewhat restrictive at first. I’ve stuck with it though and it is working for me as a snugger option.

My first IH shirt purchase was a Large that seemed like it would fit, based on measurements. Sadly, I had the same problem with circulation restricting sleeves. I've since learned that it's better for me to err toward too big, rather than too small.

This was a difficult and somewhat expensive lesson for me to learn.

I just wish I actually learned that lesson- as evidenced by my recent sales thread featuring two pairs of pants I never managed to put on.

Just received mine a week ago. Those copper snaps really add a lot to this already awesome shirt. Btw, for anyone who's feeling a little bit snug, I "powered through" the initial few days and now the chest area feels great.
Looks lovely. And agreed. It definitely relaxes. I can share that it also tolerates a regular 30C wash without shrinking

Hey neph do you hang dry all your iron heart shirts?

Most IH shirts speak for themselves without some pimpage, but the copper snaps really do elevate this shirt to another level. I love how this shirt fits comfortably over a tee, but I can also fill it out with this 3sixteen thermal underneath. Way too hot in Atlanta to actually wear this outside, so I’ll enjoy it in the A/C until fall rolls back around. Size XL:

My favorite snaps @boogersquish and an excellent choice for this shirt. Looks great.
