      Does it make any sense to buy this instead of a UHF for winter? Is the fabric close to as dense/thick? I love the UHFs in photos but they're a little loud for me. Thanks

        @CosmoSix5 pretty thick and warm this fabric is. Not quite as warm as a UHF though.

          @CosmoSix5 This was my first IH purchase years ago, and still is my favorite shirt. Something very special about the material, and the fit. I can only say that about the Western version, but I would say this, UFH, and CPO are must have top choices IMO.
          I still want to get copper snaps though in mine.

            So, I'm in the middle of a "I'm tired of Iron Heart shirts I can't wash and dry" and my old Kersey was one of the most aggressive shrinkers on me. I'm also sizing up a little bit more these days on everything, no more fitted looks. So I picked up a practically brand new (worn 1x) size XXX-Large because of my measurements on shrinkage on my previous size Large. Thought I'd post my wash/dry experience here because I had a lot of success with this one.

            Pre-wash: 24.5" chest, 20" shoulders, 27.5" sleeves.
            Very hot water soak, hot air tumble dry: 23.5" chest, 19" shoulders, 26.25" sleeves.

            It now fits absolutely perfectly for my taste, and I have no worries about future shrinkage on it. For the record, I'm a true 41" chest, I wear shirts in a 16-35, usually a size Medium or Large in most US sizing, usually a 42 or 44 in most Japanese brands. I got this one because the kersey was so aggressive and because I got it cheap enough to experiment on. I'm still thinking XX-Large UHF's are the way for me to go, going forward.

            And yes, I know most people like the "just don't put your shirt in the dryer" lifestyle, but I have 3 kids and I like the way that flannels wear in over time when wash/dried, so that's just not going to be my taste.

                          Had mine in the mail today! Copper snaps of course.

                          Maybe could have sized down a little but prefer more room in chest and waist and can deal with overall length being a little too much

                            How is the shrinkage on these? I read the entire chat and very little discussion on it. I like to check the used market for shirts to see how the sizing is once people wear items a bit. Sizing is all over on these, some losing 2" in the p2p number

                              @danno_dub if you hot wash and\or machine dry, there’s some shrink to be had. If you cold wash and hang dry I doubt you’d see much. Don’t have exact numbers for you but mine shrunk some when I wanted it to.

                                @danno_dub we do not expect shrinkage if you wash per our guidelines

                                  This is generally the case though..

                                    That is more likely because people do not know how to measure or do not measure like we do.....

                                      I picked this up from Grailed in Australia - shipping was $$, but what an absolute unit this shirt is with its many hues of blue. This is Iron Heart, to me.

                                        @danno_dub My indigo Kersey shrank more than my gray one FWIW both washed the same way, but others might have a different experience. A little ironing can go a long way though, and neither shrank to where they won't fit me.

                                          can i pull off this size large? mediums sometimes feel to much of a step down in chest and shoulders.

                                            @bluemantra I had the same issue with this shirt and went with the larger size and then soaked and dried it a couple of times increasing the soak and dry temperature each time (not wanting to overshoot the shrink in the initial soak/dry) to shrink it to an almost perfect fit. If going this route, don’t get too aggressive with the heat initially and slowly increase the heat with additional soaks and dries as needed - this shirt definitely shrinks. Good luck!

                                            No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.
