      @J-IV:

      Please do not feel like you have to censor yourself on here. It's what makes this the forum so unique, though sometimes a bit brash. Its rarely personal and other viewpoints and perspectives create much more depth of conversation.


      With that being said, I've owned way too much UHF's in my lifetime (before they even coined the term lol) and I think I understand what was trying to be conveyed. They're heavy duty flannels which in most cases reward the more wears you have on it. So if you expect something comfy and buttery (ie. silk-blend) from the get-go, you might not be as impressed.

      Well said!

      @JP I don’t think you offended anyone. As someone new to these shirts, your perceptions will be different to others with more experience with them. Our personal definitions of “soft” will be different.

      It’s like with the 25oz being famed for being like “sweatpants” with wear. Objectively, they clearly aren’t, however relatively speaking it is amazing that such thick, rigid denim can be transformed into something so comfortable.

            Nope, I am afraid not.  Nor XXXL.  Japan never stock XXXXL and very rarely XXXL, so when we do a raid, there are never very rarely any of the largest sizes to steal….

            Sorry.....

                    Great.  Just missed an XXL I needed.  Will this ever restock again or am I out of luck?

                      @BrianA I suspect you're out of luck, unless there are any returns

                        Sorry Brian.  That's it unless as @LewisStonehouse mentions, we get a return.

                        Did you sign up for notifications?

                        https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=12250.0

                        I urge you to do so, that way if we do get a return, you will get an automatic restock notification.  Of course, if more than one customer signs up for notification on a particular size and we only get one of that size returned, the one with the slowest fingers will lose out.

                        No reruns planned, and if we do, it'll likely be a few years away

                          I have always been a western guy and copped the western.
                          But IMHO, this colourway goes better 😎 in a workshirt than a western.

                            That was certainly my opinion.

                            By the same token, I love the colour and pattern of the upcoming yellow and black crazy check,  but the IHSH-303-YEL western version works best by far for me.

                            I’m not refined enough in my sensibilities to know why, it’s more of a gut reaction.

                              Whoa.  I got some sort of lucky.  The XXL released from someone's cart and became available and at that very moment I snatched it up!  So lucky.

                              Had to get this color because my 2-yr. old daughter is fairly obsessed with anything purple.  On some mornings she demands a purple smoothie in a purple cup with a purple straw… and that's only the beginning.  She's always looking for the purple crayons and markers.  Her new toddler-sized car seat had to be the color... you guessed it...

                              It all started a few weeks back when I took her to grandma's for her 1x per week babysitting visit.  For whatever reason, grandma turned everything into "purple day" with both her and grandpa wearing purple clothes and all food getting served on purple plates and drinks in purple cups and she got some sort of purple-colored toy.  There's been no going back from that.

                              Anyway, I really wasn't planning on buying anymore clothes this year and my 2 UHFs are more than sufficient to meet my needs however, when I saw this purple-colored UHF I could not get it out of my head.

                                That is also one of the best justifications for a luxury purchase I’ve ever heard [emoji1]

                                    I completely agree.

                                    The only two UHF I am buying this year are this 299 work shirt and the 303 Western, best of the bunch in my opinion.

                                      Wondering if it's too baggy on me for a size large, and I am assuming it will shrink in the wash. It was hard to size as I am tall and lanky. opinions?

                                        It will shrink if you wash it hot or tumble dry it. Cold washing/air drying won’t do much. If you do go for shrinkage then be careful with the arm length.

                                        I think it looks good although the western cut may be a better fit for your body shape.

                                          This is my first work shirt and I really liked the look of it over the western for this color way.

                                          I’m assuming if I decided to wash it (to shrink out the torso part a bit), I would have to deal with the sleeve shrinkage as I’m not sure there’s a way to hot dry it without involving the entire garment?

                                            You’ll get shrinkage just from a hot wash. Not need to machine dry. By the look of things you have long-ish arms but you could afford to lose  half an inch or so.

                                            I’d recommend just a hot wash and air dry first.
