IHSH-430-BRN - Slubby Heavy Flannel Check Work Overshirt - Brown

[Newcomer]

I am 5’11” and 150lbs 39 inch chest. Guessing size medium would be my proper fit?

@Newcomer I would strongly advise you watch the "how we measure" video on the product page and do the same on your best fitting shirt. Then you have a base to go off and then you can compare to the product measurement chart to work out what you need. Height and weight are misleading when determining sizing as people are very different in shape and size!

So what is the official word on sizing on this from those who bought it. If I wear an xxl in heavy flannels and want this to fit as an overshirt do I stay with xxl? Just the shoulder width is larger and boxier fit has got me in limbo.

@rudy mine arrives today so I’ll report back. Usually with IH I wear XL for a fitted look, and XXL if I’m going for relaxed but very much depends on the cut. I took an XL in this - couldn’t have gone any smaller purely for the length which is always a crucial metric for me. I hate when shirts are too short!

@catdad1 missed that. Thanks very much

Over a tee and hoodie:

Thinks size works both ways - could’ve sized down one but would probably lose the ability to layer. Love the slubby fabric, colours really nice and mellow - definitely my vibe lately.

[jerkules]

@rudy FYI in case this helps with choosing your size

[SKT]

@jerkules looks great man and I’m digging the fit

[jerkules]

@SKT thanks matey it’s definitely relaxed can always dial it a little with how I wash it, But for now it’s exactly how I wanted it

Very cool shirt ! Color goes well with almost everything (not duck for once )

Size small was fitted like a normal shirt let's say, but sleeves were much too short for me, and layering would have been impossible.
Size medium (on pictures) is perfectly comfy; it's more roomy then what I'm used to in waist and opening, but I dig it !
I think you need to go with the intended fit for this one.

Picture with closed shirt is with only a T under, the ones with the shirt open are with a sweatshirt (not a IH-thick one )

@Slash may I ask how tall you are and what your weight is. My girlfriend just received the flannel, but ihm not home for a couple of days. The more pictures I see, the more excited I am. The colour on this is amazing.

[Slash]

@Biecher Hey ma, no problem, I'm 180 cm and 74kg for the moment

[JerkStore]

Man I really dont know what size to get still. I am a XL in UHFs. But not sure whether to go Large in this or stick with that.

Maybe Ill just drive and hour to @TENDREL in Santa Barbara tomorrow and try both on.

[Slash]

I will tell you what the guys from IH would: Just measure your best fitting UHF and compare the measures
Products from IH vary too much in style/size/etc. to stick on a certain size

If you have a shop at 1h I would do it ! For me the closest is 6h to London

[iammortalcombat]

I typically buy 3X in work shirt cuts.
On this I went XXL and it’s about the same fit as the 3X UHFs which is what I wanted.

Don’t intend to wear over a hoodie since it’s usually too warm in my area for that so this is spot on.

Size down from your UHF size if you want it to fit similar. Stay with normal size for the relaxed over a thicker layer fit

[JerkStore]

@iammortalcombat Thanks, this was my thought. Using the measurements compared to a UHF, id be a medium and I know that's not the right move.

[Nobunaga]

@JerkStore I just got mine and I agree with @iammortalcombat. I sized down (medium to small) as I wanted this to fit like a UHF instead of an overshirt and it worked out fine. I can fit a long sleeve shirt and maybe a thermal under this but not much more. I could have gone medium to wear as an overshirt and I'm pretty sure it would have been fine as well for that purpose.

If you want it to fit like an overshirt then stick to your normal UHF size. For anyone thinking of sizing down though you should consider the sleeve width and the arm opening (at both the cuff and arm pit) measurements. I mention this as on mine the sleeve width is a bit tighter than I am used to (and I have very skinny arms) and the sleeve openings at both ends are a little tight. This still worked out for me, but I can see that this could potentially be an issue for some. I think if you buy your normal UHF size you can avoid these potential issues.

[TENDREL]

@JerkStore Come pop on by! I'm here all weekend!

I echo what a bunch of others have said. I go L for more of a UHF shirt fit, and would do XL if I wanted a proper over shirt. I normally go XL in UHFs. Still have an L and XL to try!

Looks like I have a new favourite flannel!
