So first time purchase of any Iron Heart product.
Loved this shirt – did all the measurements to compare to my current dress shirts. Settled on an XL, got it but it really does feel tight around my shoulders. Must be because the fabric is quite thick.
I can't find anywhere that still has an XXL in stock. Do you guys think it would loosen up? I'm afraid after a wash it will just be tighter. Kinda feel like my shoulders are popping out of it.
Thoughts on fit?
-
I'm in the same boat, @ragefurymaxx. Got the XL and not the XXL. Granted, my was the orange ultra heavy flannel but you get the point. Anyway, inhave noticed a bit of strech. Overall, I think it looks fine on you. However, if you don't feel comfortable, then that's an issue.
-
Fit looks pretty damn good to me @ragefurymaxx. Are you wearing a T shirt underneath in that pic? If you feel it's borderline too tight maybe just wear a wife beater or nothing underneath.
I think if you size up to an XXL the sleeves are going to be too long.
-
Good point @manufc10.
-
@Wlemon Did your shirt shrink at all on you? Were you able to wear an undershirt?
@manufc10 I am not wearing an undershirt and I'm not sure I could…It looks good but it's snug just around shoulders. Everything else is bang on. Ahh, didn't think about sleeves. Think 1/2 inch longer would be too much? It is snug around my forearms/biceps.
I definitely want to order the red version -- maybe get that in XXL and compare fits or commit to XL? I'm really bummed I can't find the green in XXL anywhere.
-
I haven't washed it. Also, if you wash in cold water, you should not see much shrinkage. Check out the product page, though. I am able to wear an undershirt. I buy the Hanes ones that are rather thin.

I think it looks kinda tight. The thing I’ve noticed with UHF’s is that going with a bigger size than your other shirts is probably wise, especially since UHF’s are really thick. I typically wear a large in UHF’s but have a few xl’s that fit better in the chest. I need at least 22” in the chest for a uhf to work, but sometimes the shoulders are smaller and the shirt feels tight. The xl’s I have were hot washed and they did shrink a little.
Take my comment with a grain of salt. If you think the fit feels comfortable then I’d stick with it, but if it feels too tight then I’d return it.

It looks a bit snug through the arms to me. I don't know if you've tried this already, but it might be worth checking with Chase at @canoeclub. He occasionally seems to have a few more items in stock than the website shows. You may get lucky and be able to find an XXL.

I feel your problem. I would prefer the overall fit in M on most shirts but they tend to feel to restrictive and slightly uncomfortable in the shoulder/chest area. I often end up sizing up to L because i rather like to feel comfy, even if that means a slightly loose and less trim look. In my experience arms and body shrink a bit after washing, mostly lengthwise, never had problems with too long arms.

@ragefurymaxx I'd say you're borderline. It looks great on you, but at the same time I can see it is a little snug. You can definitely rock it as is, but for me, the question is, are you going to wear it? I might buy a thing like it but be a little unhappy with an aspect of it so it gets passed over when I get dressed. This is dumb.
If that is the case I'd make an effort to return it/swap it. Flipping it in the Marketplace on here is an option also. A new, popular shirt in a popular size should sell quickly and as it is still has tags you shouldn't have to mark it down in price too much.
As far as washing goes, 30C, low spin and air dry only will mean it won't shrink. Warmer than that, any spin or tumble drying will shrink it. In this case I'd say it would be too small for you after shrinkage so you'll have to be careful…
