IHSH-330-ODG - 9oz Raised Whipcord Western Shirt - Olive Drab Green
-
EDIT: I’ll add that these appear to come up a little small. Olly is modeling an XL and he normally models L.
That's what is also confusing to me. I just pulled the measurements from the IHSH-335-BLK thread where it was just posted that Olly wears an L, but the 5 of 7 measurements for the Large UHF are less than this XL Whipcord shirt. Shoulder and Chest are a full 1 inch smaller on the UHF.
Two things…
1. Length is key. The shirts are equal in length despite the difference in width. Olly is fairly tall and a shorter shirt would look naff. In addition, the shoulder/arm combined isn’t that different, meaning that despite the extra width you risk a tighter fit up top. This is important because of point two.
2. Whipcord is unforgiving stuff. Especially compared to UHF. It doesn’t stretch or relax, at all. You’d see button pull on this shirt a lit rasker than on a UHF.

@Deichvogt Kentaurus received them today. I'm pretty sure they'll ship it to you, but if not I can pick it up for you and send it over.
Thats 's very kind of you @tody, thank you so much!
I got one in XXL from Blackways in Malmö already. Almost the same distance as Cologne.I got my usual UHF size..hope it will fit well

I am very interested to see how the measurements play out and to see some new owners post fit pics. The Size L appears to match most of my ideal measurements for my UHF shirts, but it is strange that Ollie is wearing XL and it looks perfect in that size vs his typical L.
-
I did notice in the recent UHF thread that there was a mistake in the original post that stated Ollie was wearing an XL, but it was confirmed that he was actually wearing a Large (as usual).
Perhaps one of the Iron Heart guys can confirm whether a similar mistake was made in this thread or if he is actually sizing up to the XL in this one? @Alex

This one is growing on me. Would love to hear how it feels as a fall/winter layer. It's lighter than the flannel but still pretty heavy and brushed, so I'm wondering if it will basically work like a flannel is my wardrobe

This just arrived and it runs a bit smallish. If you’re between sizes I’d go up in size.
It has a soft and stiff feel to it. Similar to the moleskin shirt but not as heavy. It’s a softer more wearable version of the moleskin. I think it’s the perfect mix.
I am really tempted by this shirt, but just trying to figure out sizing. Just to clarify, when you say it "runs a bit smallish" do you mean your shirt you received measures smaller than the size chart or do you mean that it wears small compared to other IH shirts with the same measurements (due to the rigidity of the cloth)?

Mine came today and at first I was surprised how light the package was! Got it open and all I can say is wow, this is a beauty! So soft and not bulky but very sturdy fabric! I think I should be all set on OD green stuff for now!
Thank you @Ross for finding me the exact right measurements. Fits like a glove!

@crease, looks good. If you don't mind sharing, what are your measurements and what size did you get? Did you size up compared to your normal IH western?

Thanks @Jbailla2 ! I went with XXL which is about my usual, I do have one XL that I think fits me just a touch better, but for the most part I’m a XXL. Really depends on the measurements of each shirt I hate to say! I’m 5’11” about 195 lbs and my chest is about 44” which I typically size off of. I like about a 23.7” to 24” P2P usually. The customer service crew are really good at finding a piece with measurements close to what you want.
This may not stretch or shrink like others have said here, but it does have a slight bit of play in it when you move around it seems like.
Here is what this shirt measured by the IHUK crew:
chest of 24.0'', Length of 30.0'' and sleeve length of 26.6''
