        Does it feel like a 21oz shirt or does it have more of a lighter breathable quality to it?

          I (wrongly) decided to size up one from my typical Iron Heart size — I’m 5’ 10”, 165 pounds, and have a 39 inch chest and went with an XL instead of an L. Because this fits way more like a jacket than a shirt, I just ordered a Large.

          I absolutely love the material on this shirt though — by far my favorite that Iron Heart has produced!

            @MrJay Large will probably be spot on 👌💙

              @GandalftheGray We had a cold front blow in and it cut right through this baby, needed an outer layer for sure. I'm pretty cold natured so take that with a grain of salt, but I'd call this very breathable and not warm below 50F, IMO (60F for me 😂).

                @GandalftheGray this doesn't feel like a 21oz shirt to me. My 17oz duck and denim jackets feel heavier for sure. This is a 60-70 degree shirt to me where my UHFs will be able to go a lil lower in temp

                  Thanks for the input fellas, for whatever reason I just equate sashiko with warmer weather but I’m extremely tempted although it would be breaking my 1 shirt per season rule (it’s already broken)

                    This is my first non-western Iron Heart shirt and it is frighteningly awesome.

                          It’s such a great shirt.

                            The good news: Man, this fabric really comes alive after a wash. Absolutely love the crisp feel and how it becomes just a tad more snug.

                            The bad news: Two buttons did not survive.. I’m repeating myself but it would be such a blessing to have this fixed. Can’t believe I haven’t lost any of my Workshirt buttons yet.

                            Anyways, repair done and after wash fit pics coming in tomorrow 😎

                                    Well they did survive but the threads didn’t 😅

                                    @CosmoSix5 yes only one wash. Buttoned up and „inside out“ as always.

                                    Use it or lose it.

                                      @weftyarn fwiw I buttoned the top three buttons with no ill effects other than having to fight to unbutton the top one after the shirt was dry

                                        I may be doing things wrong as I have never buttoned a shirt in the wash. I do flip them inside out though.

                                          I also button and/or snap my shirts before washing. I haven’t lost any buttons yet but I have noticed that the button threads on work shirts seem less than “over engineered” to me since way back when I got my first one. I’m actually surprised I haven’t lost one yet.

                                            @Matt we know eventually if clothes are loved and worn buttons will get loose. But this is a short span. Hoping my first wash goes well this week. Was silly and worked in my work shirt so it's prob going to need it.
