@americanathreads spot on fit

I just ordered my 1st iron heart shrit the 18oz vintage indigo in medium. It was the last one where i bought it from ! I also orded a 21oz type 3 in medium as well. Black friday sales got me. I figured this is the best 1st iron heart shrit i could do and ive seen awsome fades with this shrit on the internet so i went for it ! Im just hoping medium was the right call because im between medium and large.

Perfection @americanathreads

Sick man you’re stoked. The 292 is so amazing, and you’re going love both pieces. I did similar with my first 2 IH tops and got the Indigo 14oz type 111 and then the 292 like a week later. That was the start of my addiction lol. I’d say my 292 gets the most compliments from customers at my job, or out and about. -
@meatmarketdenim1 ya im going to wear it like a uniform. As long as it fits keeping my fingers crossed on that aspect. Do you wear yours often as a jacket or a shrit im hoping both fit so i can wear both together. Hows yours fit ?

I am wearing this shirt hard, it seems. Only on wear 25, though I'll keep up with it. It's a nice winter "around the house", though my unfiltered daughter is already saying, "You wear your jeans too much"...

@jrb1975
Mostly as a shirt but def can fit a hoodie or UHF under it -
@doubletee looks like you nailed that shrit perfectly

Hey guys! I have a problem. This picture is over a t-shirt.
When buying it I was assured that washing shouldn't create a problem.
Been loving this shirt since buying! After softening it got even nicer! I always wore it over a thin Ralph Lauren cotton jumper, and sleeves were borderline. Over t-shirt slim but ok.
Decided to wash it. No spin, no dryer, cold water, denim program, still properly dripping water after I pulled it out. Today I put it on and I'm not sure it's wearable... Sleeves over a t-shirt seems slimmer than before washing over a jumper. Adding a picture of how my arms look after trying to stretch elbows a bit.
Any ideas?

Hey guys! Just checking in with my first iron heart purchase! However I think this and 25oz 634 will be my only 2 purchases from iron heart... For trousers I spent a bit trying different cuts And 634 came closest to great. My perfect cut would be straight 888. 634 rise felt a bit low, but 888 perfect top block but almost can't get it over knees and calves.
For shirts...
Love the shirt! Feels really really slim with too long sleeves. For denim I guess it's fine. Some extra cuff and sleeve fades. But that kind makes me think I better stay away from uhf. Oh by the way love the tight armholes! So much more freedom of movement! Denim also feels nice! Like a soft armour!
P.s. yes I know you "can" shorten sleeves, but when you need 1-2" off, you risk ending up with weird placket. Or placket needs to be moved...
P.p.s. my pockets seem fine. Or at least close enough that I can't see anything wrong.
Wanted to quote this...

@rimaarts I had the same issue with IHSH-295-BB so ended up selling it. Some of the westerns I have noticed are just quite tight around the forearm. No experience with IHSH-292-IND though.
I got the Self Edge indigo CPO and that seems to work fine for me without these marks, even though after a long day of wearing it I might have a tiny mark on this area. I don't plan on stopping forearm training though
I just think if you didn't get this before washing maybe it will stretch out again?
-
@Northman but another question is what will happen after consecutive washes? I also just had the same issue after second wash of kaihara denim. After second wash shrunk more than after first wash. And if above knee I believe it'll stretch, below knee is the problem.
And for this shirt what if it keeps on shrinking on consecutive washes? It wasn't supposed to shrink on this wash too.
-
@rimaarts To that maybe someone with long term experience with this shirt can answer.
But generally as long as the forearm is not too tight to begin with, I believe the shirt will just soften up over time and wear. I think these denim shirts are quite rigid still after the first wash. -
@rimaarts hey! sorry to hear you're having trouble with the shirt. Can I ask how you're washing it? I've had jeans made out of this denim and they tightened up a bit after their first wash as expected but did not shrink. 30 degrees C and a low spin.
As you say, it shouldn't shrink at all and certainly not continuously as you wash it
