@Denimhead-0 lightening fast!!!

Mine arrived today (delayed delivery to fit my movements). Not (yet) in love with the cut of the sleeves but it works and it’s definitely staying! The material is great (and interestingly the sax feels softer than the white IHT-2503 that also arrived today).

I’m usually in between sizes in the 7.5oz tees so I haven’t taken the plunge before – glad I didn’t size up as that would’ve been too loose in the lower body for my taste.

Looks great @ARNC

@ARNC

You can cuff the sleeves
I do sometimes

[ARNC]

@Nik thanks!

[ARNC]

@Kasi not sure I’ve got the arms for that

@ARNC that shirt looks like the perfect fit buddy! What are your thoughts about the fabric? I absolutely love it, the 7.5oz material is so awesome IMO.

[ARNC]

@Oaktavia thanks! The fabric is great - it feels robust but has more give/drape than some of my heavier tees. Once I’ve acclimatised to the arms I think it’ll be a good middle weight option. There’s definitely some extra magic in the sax dye though - I think I could tell the difference between the sax and the white with my eyes shut!

[Oaktavia]

@ARNC right on man, they are definitely in a category of their own, tshirt-wise.

You could also get the sleeves altered (tailored) but it looks good to me. Maybe something you get used to.

[ARNC]

@endo I’ll see how I get on first, but it’s an interesting idea.

[Mizmazzle]

@ARNC those sleeves will relax too. I remember my first 7.5oz tee and thinking the way the sleeves flared out was a bit unsightly. Then they softened up and a deep love affair set in. Is this your issue with the sleeves at the moment?

[ARNC]

@Mizmazzle yeah, that’s pretty much it. The sleeves have a good inch (flat) over every other tee I’ve got and it feels like I could take someone’s eye out with those corners! If they settle down it’ll be fine.

[Mizmazzle]

@ARNC hahah. That made me laugh genuinely. That’s exactly how I felt too. I think you’re in for a real treat. Like all things Iron Heart…wear it in some and you’ll be greatly rewarded. Stoked to get mine!

[Niney]

I'm hopeful the sleeves settle down, I cuff them as i don't wish to take someone's eye out.

[ZackB]

@ARNC for looks great man. Hopefully those sleeves calm down for you

[Ikeaparty]

I went XL in 2501 and first day I wore it out I felt the same about the sleeves, at one point it touched my elbow pit and I thought wow I haven't ever had a t-shirt touch that part of my arm before that feels weird! For this one I requested the longest torso L in the hopes that I would get a better balance of sleeve length to shirt length, should arrive today and will probably post a pic
