agree with Paul--the t looks good and the color works

@Heavy_blue I'm a XXL in the 1600, and an XL in the 2S14.

Same here

New 14oz Merz tee on it’s way to me. Was undecided on colour, then realised the last one available in “Pacific” in the UK was my size, so grabbed it

@jerkules Dang, the blue colour now seems to be obsolete, can't find it on the Merz site anymore. I had hoped for a return of that in my size...

jerkules

@tody hope you can find one, it looks like a really nice colour. I noticed the Merz site seemed sold out in quite a few colours. I was sleeping on it, but realising the last one was my size gave me the push I needed.

tody

@jerkules I have a lead on one in "Navy". As the IHT-1600 does not come in blue, I guess that is the second best thing I can do.

I'm the weirdo that went XL on 1600 and XXL on 2S14. 2S14s have been hot washed and hot dried for shrink and now fit pretty well if a bit boxy. 1600s were smooth and sleek from the get go and continue to be that way with relatively careful washing. All depends on the fit you want and how you will wear it I reckon.

jerkules

A bit big, but I’ll try some careful shrinking to bring it in a little. Love this colour, and in my favourite ever t-shirt material. This is an XL. I’m 6”1’ and 177lb.

@jerkules nice one! Cool color!

jerkules

Cheers, good for summer which at 14oz these tees do surprisingly well in!

They are doing the sea island cotton again but only in-store in Berlin.. if somebody would be able to grab one for me.. please DM me

Damn been waiting on that one

tody

@jerkules Colour is looking good! I'll have my navy here tomorrow. I'm 6'3 at 209lbs, and I took XL as well.

jerkules

@tody nice! I have one in a navy called “night blue”. You’re a bigger boy than me, expect you’ll get a nice fitted tee with an XL .

I love Merz B so much but feck their sizing is hard to pin down. Wildly inconsistent between different items. The one bit of sanity I've been able to cling to though is that stuff in the relaxed fit usually is L for me, XL in the classic. For whatever reason, that heavy tee fabric is always in relaxed, or at least that's all I've seen it in. Maybe because it's hotter and they figured hey, give it more breathing room? Anyway, I think that one looks really good on you @jerkules — I'm much more a fan of tees being a little loose vs a little too small.

@popvulture i’ve got the same ‘issue’ but indeed solved it to go XL eith there slim fits and L in there relaxed fits as well. Overall i like there quality. Think we boys got a little spoiled by great gents who re-measure every garment we buy from them. So there’s a lot to learn for a lot of brands. But every time a doesn’t have a proper sizingchart etc. i love IH more! That’s one of the reasons i come back at them.

popvulture

Yeah definitely. I got a shirt from Merz once (ordered directly, so it was sorta cost-prohibitive returning it) that was sized weird, wrote them a note to let them know and they were kind of dicks about it. Just kind of a "read the chart" response or "we have inconsistencies, and that's the way it is" sort of thing. Made me think of how much I appreciate Iron Heart, for sure.

Anyway, I'm pretty careful about getting something from them now, usually making sure it's not too difficult to return (i.e. buying from a US seller, in my case).

tody

2S14 Navy is in. Excuse the grumpy face, it's a hot day in Germany and I just did a 10k on my rowing machine.
Shirts feels slightly less slubby than the charcoal version, and I expect some shrinkage in length with the first wash.

@tody cool! The 2s14 is amazing

I was doing some summer cleaning and I found the answer on why I’m not buying any T-shirts from IH
