This shirt is beautiful. The bad photos do not show the truly great colours and patterns but it is a great piece of clothing.
Here are some photos with 634s and IH black sneakers.
And another one which leaves me wondering if I could wear it inside out haha. This red thread that was used…beauty!

@Cskarev fantastic. More and more I’m drawn to this color way. Nice score and it fits great!

@Cskarev So did you keep the green one AND got the indigo as well?

[Cskarev]

@tody I had to return the green one and although I wanted to keep it, I believe I did the right thing because the guys from Iron Heart Germany told me that the green one I received was actually meant for another fellow Iron Heart customer…We agreed that we have to fix this and I returned the green one and got the blue one which is fair in the end.
As expected, I fell in love with the green one also, so I will buy the western version at some point when I regain some financial strength (not easy with the budget if you are an Iron Heart fan :))

Just picked this up on sale from Rivet and Hide, it's my first IH flannel. I have a bunch of other IH shirts, jeans, pants and a hoodie but for some reason the flannels have escaped me. I'm excited to see what the flannels offer, I'm sure it will be stunning like all their other stuff.

@Mister_Brue LOL Yeah...I know. But I'm not in a financial place where I can drop upwards of $400 on shirts so I have to wait and pick them up when they go on sale. And IH stuff rarely goes on significant sale like this...I paid about $275usd for this. which is also a stretch but wont get me murdered by my wife. lol I love all my other IH stuff so I'm sure this will be amazing.

As a funny note....I'm a teacher and one of my students liked a shirt I was wearing so they decided to look up Iron Heart when they say the IH badge on the shirt pocket. Needless to say, the class freaked out when they found out what I pay for my clothes. rofl.

lol!!!!!

Got it today…yeah, this is sweet. Perfect fit, a tad long in the arms but nothing noticeable. Perfect everywhere else. I can definitely see what all the hype is around the IH flannel. Can’t wait for the weather to get a little colder so I can start wearing my flannels.

Hi, does anyone wash it recently ?
I did a cold hand wash in the bathtub and hang dry, like for all my clothes I do care.
I did experience some significant shrinkage. I’d need to take the measurements, but the shirt feels very snug right now, although it was a perfect fit pre-wash.

@jthomz if you cold washed and hung dry, there's not much more than that you can do to avoid shrinkage. Thse 9oz are pretty loosely woven and mine gets a little stiff and slim after a wash, then it tends to stretch back out a little, not unlike all my other cotton garments.

@WhiskeySandwich
Hi, ok thanks for the info.
I’ll wear it a couple of times, and see what will happen.

I’ve just taken some measurements and p2p is 52 cm and back length 69 cm, for a size small.

I’m pretty surprised by the level of shrinkage, and I’m afraid to wash my others shirts now.
