IHPT-2306-WHT - 7.5oz Printed Loopwheel Crew Neck T-Shirt - White

Printed on our 7.5oz loopwheel cotton T-shirt, this is the first in a series of custom designs Iron Heart has planned in support of the Japanese charity, Life Is A Miracle.

11th March 2011 is a date etched into Japanese memories, with the country experiencing the strongest earthquake in its recorded history. The tsunami that followed devastated the northeastern coastline, claiming over 20,000 lives and leaving nearly half a million homeless. In addition to this tragic loss of life, the destruction led to the meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, forcing thousands more people to evacuate their homes and businesses. Crippling the infrastructure of the entire country, the region of Tōhoku is still recovering from the event even today, more than a decade on.

One story that followed in the aftermath of the tsunami was that of a heavily damaged Harley-Davidson motorcycle, washed up in a shipping container on the shoreline of Canada. Thanks to the Japanese markings and intact VIN number, Harley tracked down the bike’s original owner, Ikuo Yokoyama. Ikuo was amongst the thousands of Japanese survivors, and whilst he too had lost his home and possessions, he humbly declined the offer of a brand new replacement. Instead, he respectfully requested that the bike be placed in the Harley-Davidson museum, as a memorial to the victims of the tsunami.

Ikuo Yokoyama is now the founder of Life Is A Miracle, a charity set up to support the ongoing efforts to rebuild in the region. A cause close to the heart of Iron Heart owner, Haraki-san, we’re proud to be raising awareness throughout the world with this ongoing series of custom designs and prints.

Why is the shirt not available anymore? Some weeks ago they were in stock.

Do people typically take their UHF size or a size down in these 7.5oz tees? Larger shoulder measurement but tight-ish opening is throwing me off...

Wanted to try one on in Hamburg but opted against it due to being perpetually sweaty...

[Alex]

I size down in these

[T4920]

@Alex good to know, that would've been my instinct too

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 I size up, but I prefer a loose tshirt.
