IHSH-64 - Extra Heavy Jersey Western Sweat Shirt

[T4920]

Damnnn, a new discover during my aimless forum browsing whist on a mindless teams call...

Are these made of the 14oz Jersey, and what are the chances of them making a return one day?

@T4920 slim to none, think we asked recently and it was a no

@Alex too difficult to manufacture? I was surprised to see they existed in the first place given the heft of the fabric..

[T4920]

No way! Just managed to snag a black one on eBay for £125

[Alex]

Lucky you! I actually don't know what the biggest issue is. I suspect it was ability to weave the fabric, but sometimes you just have to know when to stop pushing, and this was one of those

[T4920]

@Alex Fair enough, so it's different to the fabric used for the 14oz sweats?

[Alex]

That's my understanding, but the 64 is well before my time

64 fleece is definitely different! I think it feels heavier, but it’s also unbrushed on the inside, so feels more like a French terry fleece on steroids.

This shirt is a top contender for my favorite Iron Heart shirt of all time.

@sabergirl awesome! Thanks for the info, can't wait to receive this.. Got an XL but according to listed measurements, it's more in line with my usual large

[sabergirl]

You’re going to love it! I think it’s starting to be cool enough to bust mine out.

@T4920 I was eyeing that one on eBay too. Congrats man

[T4920]

@doubletee I pulled the trigger within a minute of seeing it. After discovering this shirt yesterday, and finding out it was permanently extinct, it was a no brainer!

[doubletee]

Be keen you know what you think

@T4920 I have the grey and it definitely runs large. Feels more like a cpo fit. I’m not sure if the other colors fit differently or if hot washing/drying produces any shrinkage. @sabergirl surely could contribute.

[T4920]

@Matt I'll just sell it on to @doubletee if it turns out to be too big

[doubletee]

I can't deny this won't happen

[Matt]

Make it work Tom. It’s worth it.

[T4920]

@Matt I feel like it's previous owner has already shrunk it a bit through washing, shoulder measured 18 inches straight across and the chest came out around 22.. pretty much what I look for in my Ls when I buy direct, so I reckon it'll be fine

[sabergirl]

I have medium black and a large indigo. I prefer the fit on the medium for sleeve and body length. I got both of these used, so I’m not sure how much shrinkage they had, but I always wash hot and tumble dry to no noticeable effect.
