IHSH-369-GRY - 12oz Slubby Heavy Flannel Herringbone Check Western Shirt - Grey

@Brian hit the crew up, they’ll sort you out.
If you really don’t have a shirt to measure as a base point, maybe list your height, weight, chest, shoulder and sleeve. You can also get your shoulder and chest measurements from a tee shirt. Most of the other dimensions are what they are anyway.
I’m my case, I like to add about 4” to my chest measurement to get the kind of “comfortable” fit I’m looking for. For example, I have a 42/43” chest so I look for PtoP that’s about 23-24. Most of the other measurements fall into line.
Good luck!

@Brian you could order more than one and return the sizes that don’t fit. I’m sure retailers hate this but it seems to be a very common behavior.

I’m really torn on this one. I want it because it’s a new texture for a heavyweight shirt. But I need another shirt like a hole in the head right now. I hope it does amazingly well and they do some more colour ways next year.

@Brian The advice from @Brandrea was great, if you dont have a shirt to measure, reach out to us, take some body measurements, compare those to the crew vitals page - https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/8027/ihuk-staff-measurements?_=1701860374837 - and then check out what size the closest to you wears
if you are still a bit stuck, we can use all of the information you provide to steer you in the right direction to save being killed by the wife or blacklisted at the bank haha -
@AdamC
Judging by the how the crew measure post and in inches
Shoulders 16.5 front 17.2 back
Chest 17
Waist 15
Sleeve/ arm 24Wife measured so give an estimate on the ability to describe numbers and inches with a pinch of salt as she’s Australian and has never known imperial measurements but I witnessed the measuring
This is my first shirt purchase and have saved up so really don’t want to f it up I’d like it to be fitting but be able to wear with a tee underneath when it’s cold here have a 11oz iron heart one and the lighter 1600l (I think) and a few other 6-9 oz ones
Don’t think I’d need to be able to put a sweater or jumper underneath due to climate
Sorry for being a pain in the arse on what must be a hectic time

Yes, they do. I can't talk to other retailers, but it is something we put up with, but far prefer working with the customer to get the correct size the first time. Returns in general cost us a fortune, a recent study I read said that a return costs the average retailer USD50 when all the agro is costed up. But, I think that more importantly, it takes a garment out of the shop for an unspecified amount of time, and that may well mean a lost sale. It's also not particularly planet-friendly.
The bottom line is that we would far rather you talk to the crew and nail the sizing.

and if you don’t have any button up shirts, try using this one as a baseline for your own measurements:
@Giles said in VIDEO - How To Measure T-Shirts and Sweatshirts - The Iron Heart Method:
Once you have some baseline measurements, everything gets much easier.

is it me or does the model look like he pregamed with Towelie?

@flannel-slut he just took something to take the edge off...

@Giles I never realized how common this is until I saw the numbers.
It seems like most retailers don’t penalize it and some encourage it with free return shipping.
I guess it’s hard for small retailers to avoid it when there is the right to return and expectations are set by companies like Amazon.
