    Picked up one of these over the holidays for the hot California weather.
    The shirt is bittersweet for me - the fabric and fit is great but the button placket is a major disappointment.
    Wether it is due to the linen or the size of the buttonholes, the buttons just won't stay in place.
    The holes become loose after a day and the shirt won't stay buttoned. 
    Never had this issue with any of my IH shirts.
    If the button placket were thicker or reinforced this wouldn't happen as far as I can tell.

      The button issue is present in all of the lightweight Iron Heart button up shirts I own. Either the button size needs to increase or the hole needs to be smaller. Definitely a big bummer considering the price.

        Yeah I agree, for that price this should not be an issue, especially not from a brand like Iron Heart that has a reputation of making sturdy over engineered garments.

        Pretty major bummer to be honest.

          If I'm not mistaken, this is a known issue and will be taken into consideration in future production runs… by increasing button sizes by 1mm if my memory serves me well enough?

          Given typically slimmer body types, it is apparently a non-issue in IHs native Japan, but I agree that small changes could benefit the growing western customer base. I am often left frustrated by the buttons on my 9oz flannel 😞

            Increasing the button sizes might help a but but ultimately the button holes will stretch out due the nature of fabric.
            They oughta reinforce the button placket to minimize stretching.

              Where did you get yours from, @SepticSef - trying to work out the rough age of the shirt, as we have made some changes to button hole size over the last year or so, but if this predates those changes then this would obvisouly still suffer. If this is from a production run subsequent to the changes, then we know we need to make further adjustments

                @Alex I bought it from Iron Hear America right before the holidays.

                  OK, that helps. Thank you.

                    Hi, is there any chance for XXL size replenishment or not going to happen soon as there are other sizes still available? Thanx.

                      @Alex I just received the 5.5 in XXXL, same issue, buttons are barely functional, true, it's quite tight in the chest. I can see the issue about them coming undone. I have to return the shirt.

                        @Bustdnukles thanks for the feedback. I have a sample lightweight chambray where we are testing a new placket design to try and fix this, if it works we will roll this out for future runs of this (and other lightweight chambrays)

                          @Alex should we assume this is an issue with all? Was about to place an order (xxxl) but if it’s an actual problem, I’ll just wait it out.

                            @iammortalcombat yeah, it will be the case for any IHSH-222 made to date. That said, we have sold a hell of a lot of them, and it only affects some people. If you have a larger chest, or you're looking for a slim fit, then that would exacerbate the issue

                              All good. I stacked one last night. Worst case, I can add a stitch or upsize the button.

                                This is nice! Might need it! I have the western 248 and love it. Although I felt the linen mix contributed to some shrinkage after a warm wash. Not the case with any of my 10 oz cotton. Also, I too have some buttons pop open on my 5 oz ihsh-169 ind ..but only in the chest since I gained a few pounds haha. Gotta lay off the beers a bit.

                                  In my experience the 5oz cotton/linen blend shirts shrink in length and width with even careful machine washing and air drying. I have since sold the three shirts I had in this material due to the shrinkage and button issues. This is one to consider sizing up in.

                                        Arrived yesterday. Up 1 from my usual work shirt size was definitely the right move. Feels a little roomier than other shirts with the same measurements (due to lighter weight?) but leaves a little margin for linen to do what linen does! Colour and feel is fantastic!
