Placed an order in Size S. I have also written an E-Mail to IH service regarding certain measurements. Hope you take into consideration the E-Mail that I have sent before you ship this to me! Looking forward to my first ever IH shirt!

Sounds like a plan!

Safely out of the bag and….....as expected.......a thing of wonder!
Congratulations! I'm awaiting mine! Should be with me by tomorrow hopefully!
Post some fit pics! What size did you get by the way?

Hi @jothishan. I'm up with the 4X crew….....moderately exacerbated with the lockdown Guinness consumption.
You're in for a treat tomorrow and the red is simply sublime. An 'in the wild' picture is a little difficult right now due to a catastrophic disagreement between my phone and the toilet........probably the Guinness again!
Enjoy your delivery tomorrow!!

Just now UPS dropped this. Given that this is my first ever Iron Heart shirt, I absolutely love it. The fit is top notch, though it is a bit wider to my tastes, but it definitely looks good and is a keeper for me! I hope with some minimal shrinkage, it would look much better!
Here is a quick fit pic!

For some reason, I don't like the snap buttons, I don't know why. If not for the snap buttons, I would have ordered the Western cut as the measurements are a bit snug for the same size against the Work cut!
I understand that there is a shade of Indigo in this shirt and it will fade over time. So does this mean that I have to wear it as long as possible just like I would on a pair or raw denim pants? Can someone post some hints on how to wash / care for this beauty?
-
It’s a great shirt. I’m hoping to pick one up next month. I’ll probably go for the Work Shirt rather than the Western. Picked up the IHSH-33 Western recently so a Work Shirt would be a bit more versatile.

Just did the cold washing, without spin, for about 30 minutes on this shirt and left it to hang dry. A bit disappointing is the amount of shrinkage that I got, especially on the sleeve length. The sleeve is now 58.5cm against 63cm on the official charts. I'm not sure what might happen after subsequent washes! Hope it does not shrink any further!
-
Did you measure the arm length before the wash? I'd be stunned if you did get 4.5cm shrinkage in the arm. Either your measuring method is different from ours, so you are not measuring apples with apples, or the shirt you got had an arm length significantly less than 63cm to start with….
I've never heard of any of our shirts, let alone a one-washed shirt getting than much shrinkage even on a hot wash...

You have to measure the actual sleeve length pre-wash/post-wash rather than compare the post-wash measurement to the sizing chart. The most shrinkage i've gotten out of shirt sleeves was when I warm washed a couple of my UHF's – I saw 0.5 inches of shrinkage at best.
