IHSH-254-GRY - Top Dyed Heavy Kersey Western Shirt - Grey

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 ah. Thanks man. For some reason I thought that was for new products only. I need to look in that thread more.

[AdamC]

@Crispy-Heron next few weeks! But as @T4920 said

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 @AdamC I’m sort of marveling at the fact that as long as I’ve been hanging round this place I’ve never realized or looked at that “Future Releases” tab on the website. Learn something new everyday!!

So do things pop up there once a product is made into a sample and live there until live?? Or when a projected item is in production?

The measurements at the top of the thread are perfect. I hope they stay very similar to this.

Have you measured the latest run? Are the measurements at the top accurate? It has a date of October 2020 under the post.

[AdamJ]

@talexander Not yet, once updated one of the crew will indicate such and the top post will be edited

[Travis]

Hey everyone!
The new sizing chart can now be found in the first post.

Please be aware you may not be able to view the product’s website page leading up to launch, as it will be briefly offline whilst we prepare for the release at 16:00 BST, 28th of May!

[hgering27]

this might quite possibly be the largest chest measurement I have ever seen in a shirt from you guys, which makes it insanely more tempting... XXXXL gang

[Germinal]

@hgering27 this is why I just pulled the trigger. Always had some worries on the western shirts on the arm pits. 4XL for life

[hgering27]

@Germinal and hows the fit for you? I keep on seeing conflicting measures when ive seen it on other websites that carry the 4xl... whats your preferred chest size on a shirt?

[yannis]

@hgering27 . I will competely trust the IH website measurements over any other retailer. They are consistently the most accurate by miles

[hgering27]

@yannis i agree theyre always on top of it, ive just never seen a chest measure on a shirt this big from them so i checked a few other sites for comparison. all the other sites have the chest listed at about 25.5 while the IH measurements show it at 27.2, so its a fairly large difference

[yannis]

You can always call and they will reconfirm and pick a shirt as close as to your ideal measurements...

[whacim]

@yannis Maybe someone from IH can confirm but my anecdotal observation has been that sizing isn't always consistent across different production runs. The retailers with different sizing might not have updated the measurements displayed from the prior release.

[yannis]

@whacim. I think you are correct, that is why I suggested to trust the IH measurements intead of other retailers.

@Giles said in Measuring- Questions, Answers and Comments:

Recently there have been a number of questions and "concerns" about posted measurements of our gear, both on ours and our retailers websites.

Firstly, we measure the way we do because it is the way that the Japanese clothing business measures. In the early days, I measured like some of our then retailers, this resulted in us sending in sample requests to Haraki and when we got the first sample back, they were always "wrong". So on a visit to Japan with @Madame-Buttonfly we asked Tom san to show us the way that she and the factories measure. So now when we send in a sample request we are giving Tom san measurements that she can send straight to the workshop.

I don't know why other western purveyors of Japanese Amekaji clothing measure differently to that, but they do. I suspect it is just a result of some early adopter doing it a particular way, and that just became the "norm".

So there is likely to be a perceived variance in published sizing between us and some of our retailers. For most of them, and also Iron Heart Japan, measuring accurately is not so critical as it is for us. If you are selling something in a shop, the punter can try the stuff on and cares not what the measurements are but only whether it looks good in the mirror.

We always remeasure when a new production run is received, I have no idea whether all our retailers do this or not.

If I lived my life again, I would try and insist that our retailers measured Iron Heart like us and published the same measurement tables, but I did not and we are where we are.

But please understand that our measurements are probably the most accurate you will find, they have to be, we basically only do online. The only problem you have is not knowing which batch a retailer holds.

Some shops measure the chest from the armpit side seam to the armpit side seam. To be an accurate measurement, this assumes that the measurement from seam to seam is the same when measuring the front and the back.

Epic fail. Very rarely are these measurements the same, the back section is usually larger than the front measurement, so you need to lay the shirt flat and make sure that both the front and back sections are taught and measure that width, no seam to seam.
