      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!

          @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.

                                          Leaving your shirt buttoned in the wash is the issue, imo. Surprising that they were weak enough to pop off, though.

                                            @sabergirl with the weight of the shirt I did wonder if I had made a mistake buttoning the shirt partially. Next wash I‘ll leave them unbuttoned
