How soft is this denim compared to IHSH-338-BLK ?

@mjdnm cool! How warm is this shirt? I’m in Texas so just wondering at what temp it might start to be uncomfortable. That will determine how many months per year I could wear this beautiful shirt! Thanks

@denimdad it doesn't feel much heavier than my 12oz IHSH-33-IND. Just a bit starchier, which I'm sure will eventually go away with wear. So I bet you'd get a lot of wear out of it!

@mjdnm thanks! How would you describe the fabric? Trying to understand the description a bit more. Fabric there’s always my favorite thing about Ironheart

@denimdad it's packed away at the moment (I'm in the midst of a move) so I can't get to it to really inspect it. But, offhand: I'd say it's a nice midweight that feels substantial, with some starchiness to it. I have both a 12oz indigo, and a 16oz SBG, and it falls much more in line with the 12oz. However, it's a bit more rigid, a bit more dense feeling, but still comfortable and pliable, to where I expect it to really break in and become soft and supple over time, much like the 12oz shirts.

I picked this shirt up in the fall and I dig it. The red stitching is sweet and it was the deciding factor over the Johnny Cash.
However, I'm struggling with fit. I ended with with an XL, despite usually fitting into L Iron Heart UHF. I went with the XL for the pit-to-pit room, and even with XL, that still feels tight. For those of you that have plenty of wears on these; has the shirt loosened up much at all?
The other niggle I have is the sleeve length. While I expect it to shorten a bit with wears as the fabric wrinkles, they are noticeably too long, which is usually the opposite for me. Have any of you had success with shortening or tailoring the sleeve length?
