IHDR-434-HTP - 14oz Fox Brothers® Wool Picadilly Houndstooth Check Flannel CPO

[neph93]

It’s sort of fun to get a shirt from IH that is a essentially a new fit. I only say sort of because it has also thrown me back 6 or seven years to when every purchase had a complimentary sack of newbie anxiety included.

I did more research than I’ve done in years to decide between an L and an XL. Went for the L, and am now blind as to whether it actually fits. I welcome opinions, ( @DrPat here’s your chance from some brutal objectivity, mate  ;)).

brilliant fit!

[Jordan23]

I‘d prefer a wider chest but who I am.

Enjoy this brillant shirt [mention]neph93 [/mention]

Enjoy ya addiction!

Looks good @neph93 , sizing up would screw up the shoulders and sleeves.

[Pete]

It’s a perfect trim fit (as a 1 year iron heart rabbit hole newbie it’s comforting that the experts had the same anxieties I did going for the large)!

[Alex78]

I think the trim fit looks good on you Reuben!
I personally prefer wider shirts the older i get.As somebody already mentioned in this forum comfort over style

I think if you’re going to hit the gym to the point there may be any gains, the chest may prove a problem. The rest looks really good. Since this won’t ever see water, at least you can’t expect it to get any smaller.

[mention]neph93 [/mention] Fit is absolutely perfect.  Shoulders, sleeves, length, and chest are all exactly as they should be.  And I’m assuming you’ll be dry cleaning this one so you won’t have to worry about shrinkage.

This wasn’t as fun as it should have been [emoji8].

Haha… I’ll be tagging you for every purchase from now in. I’m sure there’ll be a stinker for you soon.

Thanks everyone, for the feedback. I think the consensus pretty much reflects my own opinion. Everything fits, there could be a bit more room, but not a problem. The size up would be too big.

@sabergirl when I hit the gym again it will be to make things smaller and less squidgy, not bigger. The last year has been spent in a calorific surfeit [emoji23]

…100 degrees today and I have the last Fox Flannel on its way. ::) ( thanks for the incentives! ).

...quite a pedigree with this garment, like feeding caviar to the pigs...oh well...oink!

[jordanscollected]

awesome @vaquero357 great purchase. I can say I haven't worn my gun club for any significant time yet, but nearly every time I walk into my closet I caress the fabric in amazement and anticipation for cooler temps.

Like all Iron Heart pieces, pictures don't justice to how the fabric feels, but this is in a different camp than most.

[vaquero357]

…@jordanscollected I showed immense self control for awhile there, even had myself talked out of it, then I buckled...I win.

...I believe it to be a rare beast which also worked against my resistance, another six weeks Jeff and we're back into IH climate!

Out and about in the wild

Such a nice piece

[Mizmazzle]

The Iron Heart gods put this flannel in my path…it would have been sacrilege to ignore their wisdom.

[ZackB]

@Mizmazzle beautiful man. I need the gods to shine down on me with one of these. Great find and it looks perfect.

[Mizmazzle]

@ZackB thanks homie. I thought I might need to size down based on info in this thread and size chart…but this is a size large and fits great.

[SKT]

@Mizmazzle hot damn dude…looks great especially with the 822’s. That shirt has some mojo

[Mizmazzle]

@SKT thanks man. I’m throwing everything at these 822s and so far they can handle it all.
