      A bit big, but I’ll try some careful shrinking to bring it in a little. Love this colour, and in my favourite ever t-shirt material. This is an XL. I’m 6”1’ and 177lb.

                @jerkules Colour is looking good! I'll have my navy here tomorrow. I'm 6'3 at 209lbs, and I took XL as well.

                  @tody nice! I have one in a navy called “night blue”. You’re a bigger boy than me, expect you’ll get a nice fitted tee with an XL 👍.

                    I love Merz B so much but feck their sizing is hard to pin down. Wildly inconsistent between different items. The one bit of sanity I've been able to cling to though is that stuff in the relaxed fit usually is L for me, XL in the classic. For whatever reason, that heavy tee fabric is always in relaxed, or at least that's all I've seen it in. Maybe because it's hotter and they figured hey, give it more breathing room? Anyway, I think that one looks really good on you @jerkules — I'm much more a fan of tees being a little loose vs a little too small.

                      @popvulture i’ve got the same ‘issue’ but indeed solved it to go XL eith there slim fits and L in there relaxed fits as well. Overall i like there quality. Think we boys got a little spoiled by great gents who re-measure every garment we buy from them. So there’s a lot to learn for a lot of brands. But every time a doesn’t have a proper sizingchart etc. i love IH more! That’s one of the reasons i come back at them.

                        Yeah definitely. I got a shirt from Merz once (ordered directly, so it was sorta cost-prohibitive returning it) that was sized weird, wrote them a note to let them know and they were kind of dicks about it. Just kind of a "read the chart" response or "we have inconsistencies, and that's the way it is" sort of thing. Made me think of how much I appreciate Iron Heart, for sure.

                        Anyway, I'm pretty careful about getting something from them now, usually making sure it's not too difficult to return (i.e. buying from a US seller, in my case).

                          2S14 Navy is in. Excuse the grumpy face, it's a hot day in Germany and I just did a 10k on my rowing machine.
                          Shirts feels slightly less slubby than the charcoal version, and I expect some shrinkage in length with the first wash.

                                      Anyone tried and have an opinion on the 1950s tees? Found one for super cheap in the depths of the internet. Not sure whether to take a punt or grab something heavier like a 214 or 215 and ignore the discount.

                                        @jerkules I have a couple of long sleeve 1950s. I like them, but they are a lot lighter than my 206/207 henleys and 2S14/2S18 beasts. They work for me when I want something lighter but they need more attention when washing (they need pulling back into shape and I can’t not iron the 1950s but can get away with not ironing the heavyweight ones - you might have different thresholds).

                                        Do watch out for sizing - you might need to go up a size in 1950s compared to 2S14, for example, as they are cut slimmer.

                                        I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. There are probably more options out there at lighter weights but if the one you’ve seen is a bargain, maybe just go for it?

                                            Thanks for you input both. I’ve grabbed a long sleeve.

                                            @ARNC i expect that I’ll have similar feelings to yours when it arrives. I’m so used to wearing sturdy/heavy tees, and I expect the 1950s tee to feel very lightweight. Tbh that’s one of the reasons I started looking at the lighter offerings from Merz - my childish brain always equates bigger numbers = better (it’s how I got into IH!), and as a result I’ve ended up with all my “nice” T-shirts being heavyweights. I’m hoping it’s not too slim but will have to see, worst thing that happens is I have to wear as a layer. With delivery, the shirt wasn’t a huge amount more than a Uniqlo longsleeve!! I’ll keep an eye on it while washing.

                                            @Dmart thanks, glad to hear you like them and I’m excited to give something lighter weight a try.
