@jordanscollected looking forward to seeing your photos. This jacket is so sweet. Can hardly to see some more indigo serge fades.

I'm regretting not getting the indigo version...although I love the black too. Looking back I could've sized down as well. I currently wear 3XL workshirts - UHF and otherwise. Thus settled for similar here. Obviously the shoulder measurements on these sorts of pieces are tough to navigate. But I could certainly wear a 2XL as the upper chest and shoulders are a bit large on me.
However I often wear the windbreaker with several layers, thus I have no real issue with it. I also plan to give it a soak at some point, potentially followed by a hot dry, which will likely tighten it up a little.

@flannel-slut imagine that thing in 5 years
. Gotta admit I’m pretty envious of you guys that snagged one. -
@MTpockets I'm an XL in IH shirts and i bought this in a large. I imagine from all the conversations on here I could have worn a medium, but I wasn't risking it. Carhartt t-shirts are the only thing that fit me in a medium.
Leaving room for layering, hot soaks or washing is crucial too.
The other thing is that I'm trending towards roomier pants. I don't want my tops to fit too neat or I'll look off. then i won't need the baton at all.

Sounds like you’ve locked in THE baton fit. FYI pockets are large enough in case you need to carry 2

@SKT This thing caught my eye for multiple reasons. One of the biggest is that I don't think I've seen anything similar from another company. Who else makes a windbreaker in something other than nylon? It's sickness with the quickness and I'll be creating ways to wear it, hopefully without getting literal farm crap all over it.

@flannel-slut The "Iron Heart Baton" made out of the same material as those save the ocean insulated cups. how great of a product that would be.

@jordanscollected - all great points.
I also have an N1, which is an XXL, and fits like a glove. But I sided with your thoughts on the windbreaker regarding layering and soaks/washing. If you're anything like me, these are the things that keep me up at night. Vanity? I think not.
I am also starting to trend toward roomier pants. In my early IH days (early being 5 years ago), I was locked into 777. But I'm 888 now all day, every day.

@jordanscollected haha “what do you think we should make” +1
-
@jordanscollected I’m excited for you. It’s truly unique and is gonna age beautifully
-
@flannel-slut Looks great! Creases set in nicely
Snow shoveling is an excellent break-in activity -
@MTpockets thanks dude! Yea, the mustard hoodie is one of my favorites. It gets a lot of wear.
Regarding your post on sizing, I agree one could size down on this for a more fitted style, but the sleeve length then becomes an issue as, from my experience, windbreaker cut always has slightly shorter sleeves. So I’m glad I went with my normal size in this.

@jordanscollected and @flannel-slut
I was trying to figure out what you all were talking about with regard to the "baton" and the "baton fit" - am I correct in assuming this is an implement designed to beat off the chicks that dig our IH fits?
