        @the246guy:

        I'm looking for some help. I accidentally spill some oil over this beautiful shirt and it has now a dark patch of green around the stomach area. Is there any advice that would help me even out this dark patch of oil? I would be thankful to your help.

        .      That’s probably my worst,clothing, nightmare. I would try pre treating it with something like shout,or possibly the OXY stuff they were recommending to Fadez. Maybe wash it by hand in cold water with Woolite dark. You may have to do it a few times. Good luck!

          @the246guy I would try ox gall soap. I use that for greasy collars too. Miracle stuff.

            @Lowlander Could you please post a link to the product? I just found something at the local supermarket which says that it is capable of taking oil stains out. Fingers crossed.

              This is the product I use, but I think it's Dutch. https://www.dr-beckmann.nl/onze-producten/detail/prewash-spray/

              But you're in Germany, right? I'm sure something similar must be available there.

                I kind of purchased the same, but the soap version of it. I just tried it on the spot where the oil spill happened. It is wet now. Will post here the updates as soon as it dries up. Fingers crossed.

                  Good luck! Though be careful with it. I think it's quite aggressive stuff. My bottle says you should not let it dry on the stain but wash it out 10 minutes or so after applying.

                    This is a very interesting discussion. Curious how it turns out. Well, I hope. 
                    Before and after pics would be quite curious.

                      I will post some pictures as soon as it is dried. I guess the stain has not completely vanished. May be I might treat it again with the gall soap. The biggest mistake that I did was after the oil spill, I was just lazy and just left the shirt next to the washing machine for weeks together. It was only yesterday did I throw it into the washing machine only to realize that the oil has nicely soaked into the fabric deep enough. Lesson learnt, not to be lazy anymore.

                        Here is a snap of where the stain stands after my first attempt to get rid of it.

                        Do you guys see the dark patch next to the middle button in the attached image?

                          Yea I see it. Fortunately the fabric creaste a bit of textured shading naturally. Kinda hides stains.

                            I think if you get a really cool IH Vest to wear over it…Problem Solved! and over time the spot becomes part of the shirt fade,and you have a cool vest.

                              @Jett129 I'm not a vest kind of guy, but I like the idea. I work in an office setting and I can already say that wearing IH gear for office, I'm the odd man out. If I add another vest over my shirt, I'm in a different world while at work.

                              I trust that if I treat my shirt, the stain with another round of the gall soap, it should make it disappear.

                                I think so too! The shirt is definitely not a lost case. Beautiful evo too.

                                    Sizing chart on first page updated.  Similar to previous run but slightly smaller in the chest.

                                        If the oil has not yet gummed / resinified, you may want to try out diatomaceous earth. I don't know how it is called where you are located - where I am I can buy it in the pharmacy. It works by absorbing the oil (or other liquids) because it is a powder composed of very small particles that create a huge surface area. This has strong absorbing properties and effectively sucks oil out of fabric. It was even possible once to clean a wood table stained with wax from a candle by using a flat iron to melt the wax first.

                                        To remove an oil stain, I simply sprinkle some of the power over the stained area and let it rest over night, then shake it off and wash the piece. Btw. the ground breaking discovery of Alfred Nobel was to use this stuff as a stabilizer for creating dynamite, so its quite famous.

                                          Curious if these stretch out a little? Let me start by saying im 5'11" 175lbs. The definition of average. The forearms are so tight i can hardly touch my face, the arm pits are strange in a way that I get this big fold above the chest pockets.  It's the 7th iron heart shirt I've tried and only two have worked out. I'm getting sick of spending 35 dollars to try on shirts that fit goofy. I know these are the best shirts in the world and the customer service is the best I've experienced. I'm in no way saying bad things about iron heart but I'm just sad that it's looking like I can't wear the brand and like I said I couldn't be more average in body type.

                                            @HalfPastNever I’m 5’10”, 183 pounds, 43” chest, and wear a 33-35” inch jean in IH.  My shirt sizing is/has almost always been an XL and my preference is for the Western Cut’s in shirts.

                                            What size and cut of shirt have you been buying?
