        @Mizmazzle lol, don’t we all!? If you get asked regularly “aren’t you hot in that??” You might.

          @WhiskeySandwich shit. I think I might have a problem. Where ever could I go to talk about these issues with folks who understand…

                  I got a IHSH 352 Red XXXL and it was too big.
                  Then I got a XXL and it is tight in the armpits.
                  Is this cut just not for me? Should I go with the work cut?

                    @nickname Depends where it's too big/small. If you're having fit issues, the best way to find out what's is to do the old "measure your best fitting shirt" and adjust as taste/comfort dictates. Many of the cuts and sizes vary by piece, so always go by exact measurements, as specified here:

                    To add, the work shirt is a bit looser in the pits I think. yup.

                      @nickname try the work cut. Westerns are slimmer.

                        I noticed a couple of my shirts (ones with the side gusset) have opposite felled seams on the torso and sleeves, I figured this to be an interesting quirk of the order in which these garments are constructed. However, some shirts are not constructed this way. I've tried to come up with a rationale behind the differences and asymmetrical construction, but that's as close as I've been able to get. What's that about?

                          I’d like to hunt for “old” IH items, such as shirts and UHFs from the early years.

                          Is there a repository, catalogue, list, forum thread, other than past collection’s, to have a better look to never restocked items?

                          I usually rely on chance and luck reading random posts in the forum and surely found some interesting pieces, like a IHSH-64-ind while searching for the UHF 262.
                          I’m sure I can find a few more lost treasures, but a complete catalogue would be handy.

                            If you have time (as it loads really slow), access the old extinct section through archive.org:

                              I bought my first Iron Heart denim shirt and I love it. Does anyone have any tips on how to soften it up a bit as I break it in? My issue is that I have a bit of a beer belly and when I sit down the shirt will crease right under my belly. Rofl.

                                You could try leaving the bottom button unbuttoned.

                                  I wish the extinct section still existed! I used to look at it almost daily. Really came in handy—and the forum threads often don’t have measurements.

                                    Honestly, just wear it and it will calm down and crease where it needs to. It's part of the journey.

                                        What is the secret behind the diehard IH folks in Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, etc) that their heavyweights have so much contrast? Is it the humidity? Being closer to the sun year round??

                                          @jonpwn I feel like most theories I’ve heard attribute it to the humidity. All I know is that I’d be dying if I wore my IH in a climate like that, haha.
