A few quick shots I took during this first day of wear.

Fabric is superb, UHF heavy like and warm; the cloth is dense and firm. Love it

Love the material
Soft but dense

A question for the folks who have this in hand: is the body a bit shorter than the “standard” IH western? I know there’s measurements at the top, but the pics make me wonder.

Super sick shirt! Fade close-ups.

@Abracadaver I can directly compare an L in the 367 and this new 368:
Yes, the 368 is not only 1 cm shorter than the 367, but to me the shirt feels slimmer and with a more snug fit.
That said, I like slim fit shirts, so choose accordingly.

@denim-dawg Thats happening quick man! I need to catch up

[LeDuc_RW]

Killed it with this one guys! Truly is a special Iron Heart piece. It’s about as comfortable as they get straight out of the box and drapes beautifully. Can’t wait to enjoy this piece over the years!

@AdamC I'm sure if you bring it to one of your mountain trips, you'll break out the whole symphony this masterpiece has to offer. :female-artist:

Ops! I bled some indigo over a wall in a meeting room at work

[alexpupin]

Given the easy, common, indigo bleeding, how do you guys plan to eventually wash this shirt?

By hand, strictly with cold water, luke warm, no spinning, etc?

@denim-dawg ice cold glacial lake washing is not an option!

@Abracadaver I agree: tried this beauty today in store and found it a bit short for my taste (I am 189cm).

@alexpupin what the hell were you doing to that wall?

[alexpupin]

@Matt Hey, I swear I wasn’t scratching my back like a bear on a tree, just leaning on the edge with my shoulder!

[denim-dawg]

@alexpupin I feel your wall’s pain.. this is after a day of editing… or table dancing with elbows..

This is a really interesting fabric. Trying my best to wrap my head around it. Here are my “tasting notes”- The exterior is like 9oz double-indigo unbrushed denim flannel that bleeds like a stuck pig. The inside “lining” is a completely different thing. It’s like a 5oz poly-blend neppy blanket. They are a single fabric but I can’t help but feel they’re separate. You can sorta see the texture of the weave holding them together, which may be polarizing, but I like the extra dimension to it and it may make for some cool fades, which I think will come on quick. I will be extra careful about washing this one though because I think it could shrink and/or skew funny, especially if thrown in the dryer. All in all, it’s a super cool, extra warm alternative to a UHF, which is what I’d most closely compare this to.

For some reason the edit function isn’t working for me right now. I wanted to note that the photos were taken in the middle of drying this.

@alexpupin @WhiskeySandwich edits will work now, the topic had not been moved to the "Shirting" category, so was inheriting the wrong privileges from the Fall/Winter 2023 category

[alexpupin]

@AdamJ solved! Thanks

[LeDuc_RW]

@WhiskeySandwich good review on that! I definitely agree with being careful washing it. I did a hot soak on mine and everything came out fine but could see things going wrong if running it through the wash. Also agree this being UHF warm if not even a bit warmer for me anyway which seems strange. All around badass shirt
