IHSH-349-GRN - 9oz Selvedge Ombré Check Work Shirt - Green
-
We’ll make it ‘work’

Seems like a lot of premier Japanese flannel makers ( i.e UES , IH ) are having a hard time with colors as of late. I have some 9oz westerns, don't get me wrong, they're the best made shirt on the market but these colorways are just missing the mark. While other sub-par brands are killing it in the pattern and color options. Maybe us Americans just don't know style when we see it.

@HalfPastNever Ironheart is a continuation of the style and aesthetic I have been wearing for over 30 years, albeit much better in quality, fit, and durability than anything from my youth.
I bought my first type 3 jacket 37 years ago and still wear variations of those jackets today from IH. I have consistently worn Jeans, Flannels, and T-shirts for that time and plan to wear the clothing I’ve purchased in the past 8 years from IH for the next 20 years (and hopefully more).
I’m not chasing trends nor fashion, but want the best in quality of garments that I can afford with the style and aesthetic that I am drawn to.
In my opinion, Ironheart fits that niche perfectly
-
@HalfPastNever maybe the thing you’re looking for isn’t IH then. I don’t think IH is missing anything, they just got something that other brands are missing in my opinion and that’s the best quality in the business. Still you can’t be drawn to there patterns etc. but that’s not something IH is missing but something you’re missing and maybe you’ll find that at another brand but i don’t think you’ll find it in the same quality but that’s just my 2 cents
-
@HalfPastNever interesting you're making this point in this particular threat. To me the 349 is just perfect, in pattern and colour. But that is a matter of taste, and I wouldn't wear a lot of other flannels that are around. Also, I don't wear hoodies, while others came here for them. To me Ironheart offers many ways of slightly different styles under one umbrella. Pick the stuff you like, and leave the rest. Be yourself, or find it in case you're still searching. But don't expect to find the style that 'hits the mark' generally. Individuality is beauty.

@HalfPastNever in my opinion in the American was the number one for original heritage retro back in the days 40s 50 60 70 80 they was setting the trends with the original sewing machine quality was at the highest you know Big Mac Levi’s ect then they sold the union machine best thing ever made right,then then Japan came along and bought them from the states and recreated with there skill set what America first started and continue today This is why I’m here today to appreciate what was done and what is continued.
just my 2cents -
@Matt I love that yellow one what size is it,shhhh I won’t tell anyone
-
Hopefully I should collect mine today from Rivet N Hide so I’ll post later
-
Visit to the rivet and hide for collection great to see the guys Jnr as always love there store and the shirt says it all
-
@Mindfulbiscuit its a lovely shop, and the shirt/paints/trainers combo looks superb.
-
Thank you,the shop I could live there

I received the green ombré shirt and it came as a surprise because I ordered the indigo version but the guys from IH Germany obviously made a mistake…
Anyways, I decided to try it and it is really beautiful. It will be a great shirt from spring and early autumn, it will not be suitable for hot summer days.
Quality is as expected - Iron Heart level and attention to detail. I am in dilemma now - whether to keep it or to return it for what I have ordered.
For info: I am 185 cm (6ft 2”), 82 kg (181-182 lbs) and I am wearing my usual size L.

@Cskarev nice one mate!
-
@Cskarev definately keep it. Looks great!
-
@jerkules haha, yeah, I was thinking the same. Someone got (un)lucky like me
@Zee-Boo I will keep it. It is truly a great shirt. And it gives me the opportunity to buy the indigo version in western style…if my wife approves
But all in all, I am really happy with the shirt. It is beautiful, great colours, great fit, nice materials and details.
