IHSH-305-BLK - 13oz Heavy Solid Flannel CPO Shirt - Black

[ARNC]

This is a beautiful shirt.  I think I got away with the sizing but would appreciate honest thoughts.  The body feels good. Shoulders and arms are at my lower limit. I expect to wear it as a shirt with bonus pockets rather than a jacket.

I think it looks great @ARNC , I’d just take extra care when you come to give it a wash

[Joberwocky]

I agree with Lewis, especially if your plans are to just wear it as a shirt rather than a jacket.  I think the fit looks pretty spot on

[ARNC]

Thanks Lewis and Jason.  It's good to have confirmation as my thinking could easily have been warped by such a nice shirt.  I'm slightly obsessive about laundry, so I don't think that will be a problem 

If you haven't experienced it, the 13oz fabric feels amazing - I considered posting it on the pets board because I could just sit and stroke it

It’s hard to get a good idea of the shoulder fit from the first pic because you’re a bit tilted and your left side is very dark.

The sleeve length looks good, especially since you’ve already got creases.  The body length is also more than long enough.  These are the two dimensions in which shrinking plays a major role.  I don’t know exactly how this fabric behaves when washed but you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

Thanks @DrPat .  I was a bit limited by where I can balance my phone and how far I can move before the timer goes off

What a great new Iron Heart Shirt, black, heavy, beautiful and of course already sold out but good news, not with us.

I let my sister borrow a uhf this evening which she was very impressed by. It was her first time borrowing anything IH where she showed interest. Like she was asking what colors were available so I excitedly showed her the new releases and as I showed her this shirt she was all for it, esp. bc of the pockets. So I copped the last xs as a gift for her.

Can anyone who picked this up comment if it’s soft? I see that it’s unbrushed and G commented that it has a smooth feeling. Any other adjectives to add on how this shirt feels?

Stunningly silkily sublime…..

It’s super-soft! She’s going to love it.

Yep, it's super soft and smooth @RoxRocks86.  Has a different feel than any other IH shirt I have touched.  Feels great.

Tightened up nicely with a wash and dry. Apologies for the dirty mirror

Thank you so much for the feedback everyone!

I got a bit worried after going trigger happy that she may be expecting that double brushed softness of being wrapped in a cozy blanket that a uhf brings, but you guys have reassured me that there’s nothing to worry about. Will report back with her reaction when it lands

Damn, nailed the fit @sabergirl looks great

[RoxRocks86]

^agreed! Fit looks fantastic Ann.

Thanks for the kind words, y’all. It’s sure to be a favorite for years to come.

Anyone remember the LL Bean chamois shirts? This reminds of that fabric on steroids. Ultra heavy chamois.

That's probably the best way to describe this material…..an ultra heavy, smooth chamois.

Absolutely loving this shirt. It reminds me of a softer version of Moleskin in a lot of ways…
