@CosmoSix5 looks like a good fit there mate. Nice one
I won’t be getting mine until Thursday/Friday as I am out of town

Sorry for the dirty mirror and messy background. My large just came today; sleeves are long as usual. I wore it with a gym tee only in the pic.
How is the fit? I am 5'8 and 165 have short arms; chest is a little snug but no biggie. It is hot as hell in LA, and I can only put it on for a few mins. Should I go for a medium or keep it, then hot soak? I felt the shoulder is a bit wide and the sleeves are long.

@shumu111 Keep it dude. Looks good.

[shumu111]

@WithBongInHand I most likely will, there is no way I can have a medium anyway. I will do a 1-hour soak hopefully it can shrink the sleeves and length a bit.

Got mine today, and it's beautiful.

I am feeling the sleeve from the cuff to the elbow feels more snug than any other CPO I have. Everything else is perfect.

100° outside but the shirt ain’t coming off. So stoked.

@shumu111 looks great!

I am glad I didn't pass on this one. Not sure if it is just the rigidness of this one but it feels like a better fit compared to my 293. I did not measure it but maybe I just got lucky with the sizing.
Had to sell my 3xl sexihcpo due to it being a little too tight. 4xl in this is perfect. The denim is different but in a good way + I think I prefer this one. Way better in person as well.

@Tago-Mago
looks great
how do you like it ?

[shumu111]

@Tago-Mago fits well; do you think it will be snug after soaking?

Ok, so I copped the well-sought-after Iron Heart IHSH-409-IB in a size Medium.

I have around 15 IH shirts — all Westerns/CPOs and all size Medium.

Funny (perhaps dumb) question: will the pit-to-pit stretch at all if I soak it and put it under some pressure?

Most measurements line up with my other shirts, but this one is noticeably tighter across the pits. It cuts into my armpit/pec a little and creates a slight balloon effect above the chest pockets.

Any chance of gaining a little width there, or am I dreaming? Will it loosen up…? Will it shrink? I know it says no, but my experience is they all shrink a tad.

@Adero I don’t think it will stretch much but material will soften.

For reference my XL arm hole measures 10”. My UHFs are 10.5” and other shirts range 10.5-11. So I think this one is a size smaller than most IH shirts. I’m gonna size up to XXL if I can find one. I know from experience I won’t wear something if it’s not comfortable right out of the box.

@shumu111 I don’t think it’ll shrink that much. None of my shirts really have. Even if it does shrink a little it should still fit, especially since I don’t plan on layering it over another shirt

[Tago Mago]

@Daniel-San thanks. Really nice, this is a properly hefty shirt

[GeorgieL]

@Adero Looks great! What is your height and weight? I'm 6' and a half inch 160lb. Got my usual medium and it fits fine. Other than it needing to be broken in, i think it will be just fine. I'll post some pics tonight. Was planning on last night but then dinner got in the way.

[CosmoSix5]

First proper pic. Accidentally all ib yesterday as I just put on the new shirt and went back to work. Still is awesome! Collection IHSH-409

[brently]

I have 3 CPO jackets in XL. Got this in XXL and it pretty much fits like all my XL ones. Maybe a tick bigger. Glad I trusted the measurements. XL would have been a little too snug on this one.

[stenaloom]

Got mine too. Not a bad fit. The sleeves are pretty tight so there will be no layering, but I didn't intend to.
