IHSH-339-SAX - Ultra Heavy Flannel Blanket Check Work Shirt - Sax Blue
To a great extent, our ultra heavy flannel (UHF) shirts define Iron Heart: heavy, rugged, but amazingly wearable. This work shirt is an exclusive sax blue 'blanket check' 12oz fabric, woven with Aspero cotton from the foothills of the Andes mountains. We double brush it on the inside and single brush it on the outside, resulting in a very soft yet substantial, thick, warm and windproof flannel.

Are those new bigger buttons or same as UHFs from years past?

Thanks @AdamJ!

I like this…

Just out of curiosity, can anyone elaborate on the button discussion? Is Iron Heart transitioning to larger buttons? Are there any issues with the current size being secure? Would the button on this shirt be the same size and material as the one found at the very top of my 20th UHF Western Shirt? Thanks!
-
The buttons on all our work shirts are the same size as the button holes, by design, because that is the perfect size to fit through the hole (Japanese logic). In our (IHUK) opinion, making the buttons 1mm larger would mean that they still fit through the hole, but are just that much more secure. Not so much about fixing an issue as it is about improving an already good design.

I guess I'm late to the button discussion, but I have numerous UHF work shirts, and I've never noticed any issues with security/retention. Granted, the shirts aren't 10 years old, so that could change if the button hole stretches over time. Most of the time, I wear mine as an overshirt with either one or two buttons secured, or with the entire placket unbuttoned.

I'm going to try and be tactful, but it may not work
To a great extent, it is a question of physique. The reason the Japanese do not have an issue with the current buttons is that on the whole, they are slim and very very rarely put any pressure on the buttonhole. So they have never encountered a problem domestically. If they had, they would have done something about it already.
In the west, we tend to be a bit larger/different shape and often place more pressure on the buttonhole. It is this sideways pressure that causes the button to slip through the hole (it does not happen to me, but then I have never had a crotch blowout either).

I agree with you, @Giles. In addition, tighter fits have evolved into a trend over the last decade. I frequently see guys wearing shirts that are spreading open between the buttons. I like a fit that is suitable for more activities than going to the coffee shop (and getting a pumpkin spice latte…lol). Just my 1.5 cents...thanks for your reply. Speaking of work shirts, I'm about to score the sax blue - beautiful color contrast, yet subtle.
