I was kinda on the fence with this one, but I’m glad I tried it on l. It’s going to be perfect for the summer

I would probably pull the trigger if it didn't have the "Iron Heart" stitching. Looks great though.

@northsouthdenimguy nice one mate, these shirts fit great!

@AdamJ

Thank you! looks longer in this picture as I lean over when I take them, but overall the fit is really nice. Looking forward to wearing it and my wife saying I look like a gas station attendant.

Honestly, I’m usually not one for branding, but I probably wouldn’t have bought this shirt without the red stitching. To me, it makes the shirt. It gives an otherwise simple shirt a little personality and vintage character.

I agree....

[Alex]

yeah, you guys are all sleeping so i just picked one up (and two drizzlers too..)

[will6er]

Interesting on the slow (for IH) sell thru so far. I am not a SS guy so not for me but the stitching really suits the shirt for summer.

This one landed at the shop and sold out of my size while I'm on vacation

Champ, I’m sure you know somebody that might be able to find you one

Oh damn, I accidentally machine dried this on high after a cold wash. I normally hang dry pretty much all of my shirts, so I definitely didn’t mean to do that. Tried it on afterward and it’s just a little tight. I can feel it across my back and the chest is puckering a bit. Although a lot of my shirts do this, especially the heavier ones before I iron even when hung dry.

I’m cold soaking it now, then I’m going to reshape it, hang dry it, and iron it. I’m hoping some of that tightness and puckering relaxes back out. If that doesn’t do it, I may try the shampoo trick.

A cold soak, flat drying on a towel, and a steam iron seem to have done the trick. It’s still slightly tight through the back, but very minimal, so I think it’ll be just fine. This will probably just be one of those shirts I don’t wash very often unless it actually gets some stains on it or starts to smell. I’m sure it’ll stretch out a little more with wear too. Really surprised that with the linen blend it didn’t shrink tremendously, so I’m super happy I didn’t ruin it.
