IHSH-433-RED - Heavy Flannel Rider’s Overshirt - Red
-
Was looking for help with sizing. I normally wear an XL in everything Iron Heart. 6'2" 180 lbs. But not sure if I should go L or M on this item. The sleeve length is what is getting me. Can anyone help. Thanks.
-
Personally I wouldn't ever jump two sizes. This is meant to be roomier, but even then I wouldn't skip down from XL to M. Each to their own.
I wear Large in UHF's and went to Medium for the Green check overshirt, but it's a diff cut and it's not easy to directly compare. M was smaller than I thought, even though the measurements might have indicated otherwise. Ok for me though. But I would never ever have got away with S for instance.Have to stress, it's a personal thing, but I wouldn't be going from XL to M.

I went with my normal size (XL). My concern was that the sleeves would be too short if I sized down. I’ll know later today once it’s delivered. -
@Stringthing75 thank you... very helpful
-
@pjroo33 thank you and keep my posted.

@jjwoody13 hey mate, I tried sizing down 2 sizes (L) on my first attempt of an overshirt and I had to send it back. On my next attempt I just went a single size down (XL) which dimensionally was still larger than my regular XXL size and it fits perfectly. Have you tried the compare function on their site?
I find it very handy[link text](

I usually wear an Xxl and originally tried an xl and it fit but for wearing this as a jacket over perhaps another heavy, I ended up staying with a xxl. The fabric is very soft so I didn’t notice much like longer sleeves. I could have gone either way.

@Denimhead-0 looking good!
I went to my local retailer to check it out. Didn't want to buy into the new cut without trying it on first.
While it is boxier than usual, it is not as large as I would have assumed from the measurements alone.
Did not buy it, but would have taken my usual size. Sleeves were too short when sizing down. -
I would also recommend normal sizing if u want to layer up. I typically wear xxl or xxxl in work shirt depending on dims. I went w normal sizing however asked for one on the smaller side and this one is perfect. The colors really pop in person. Got a few compliments at my local fishermen’s bar this morning.

@sabergirl it is rather leightweight, contradicting the heavy zipper and the HD snaps a little. and it was missing the CPO style pockets, i was immediately searching for those!
-
I find myself hunting for them in the two over shirts I have, too @tody I wonder if the UHF version also is a bit overwhelmed by the zip? I’d like a version with just snaps.
The color on this one is very striking. I’ve just got a bit of an aversion to red for the last decade or so. Which is a shame, cuz I love red and have some nice red flannels already.

Haraki has this incredible gift to design new pieces that I don't necessarily feel right out of the gate. Then after a bit of time (and all sold out) I realize I love it.
-
Love this. This is a large and I normally take a large in UHF.
-
@sabergirl can’t talk for the 10oz version but my UHF in black is spot on with the zipper and copper snap. Absolute perfection. The westerns aren’t for me so I was stoked to see snaps on a UHF workshirt.

This is the best goddamned thing I've ever purchased from Iron Heart. I bought it with the intent to use it as a lightweight riding jacket for the spring and fall and it should fill that role perfectly, especially with the two-way zipper. It's not as oversized as I expected. Normally I wear an XL in the work shirt cut of the UHF's and am glad that I stayed with the same size here, as layering might prove difficult if one were to size down with an expectation of more room. Unfortunately for me the riding season is over here in the northeast of the United States, but the day it came in I threw it on, grabbed some homegrown and a glass of bourbon, while Blood on the Tracks played in the background and the snow rattled my windows. Pretty close to the same damned thing.

@DanKetch yeah man, bought mine for riding my Harley. I couldn’t be happier with the fit and design.
It’s a home run for me -
@Aussie-Ben Ride safe Down Under brother...
