@Bane011 I think the sizing and the pricing is a little suprising on these. overall they are beautiful and will fade amazingly but $425 isnt unreasonable or wrong by any means but it is more than most UHFs have been in the past and closer in cost to most CPOs that have arguably more functionality.
I cant wait to see som eevos on these and maybe be able to pick one up one day though

That is because new stuff typically gets priced at "what it should be" based on the cost to produce. Older stuff including reruns, new fabric patterns in an existing style (UHF's for instance), often lag behind, because the Japan crew are slow at looking at the true cost for stuff we have done before.
Given the massive rise manufacturing costs in Japan, expect to see eye watering price increases as we move forwards.
Needless to say, this is not just an Iron Heart issue, it is whole-of-Japan-manufacturing issue.
Oh, and to throw gasoline on the fire, that we really did not need:

Just in case you cant link to it:
"Stock markets have fallen and the price of oil has risen after Washington and Tehran threatened to escalate hostilities, as the US-Israel war with Iran enters its fourth week.
Japan's Nikkei share index closed 3.5% lower, London's FTSE 100 fell 1.9% while the price of Brent crude rose 1%."
"Gold is usually seen as a safe haven in times of severe conflict, but a collision of factors is pushing down demand," says Susannah Streeter, chief investment strategist at Wealth Club.
One is that the surge in energy prices seen since the conflict began is expected to push up inflation. This expectation is already increasing interest rates on government bonds. This makes gold a less attractive asset to hold as it earns no interest.

@Giles these things happen and prices go up. It's a shame, but there it is. It's not a bad thing having to be a bit more selective about which items I pick up. That said, despite the wince at the price, I still added MOP snaps to the shirt. ; )
-
@Giles the cost of running business is always unique and IH remains extremely reasonable. That is one of the reasons that I chimed in. There is always a justifiable reason even if it’s complicated. Appreciate everything you do and are sir. Onward and upward

@northsouthdenimguy i clocked my size was still in stock today, so i maybe grabbing one too - cant believe they didnt fly off the shelves
-
I think I might buy an XL but the measurements are a little wide, whereas the L looks perfect aside from the narrow shoulders. Not sure which one I should go for...I usually wear XL these days.

@Nobunaga what size did you get compared to your usual western size? And how does the fabric feel?
I am not the person you asked, but I just ordered my usual size. I will let you know how it fits if you are interested.

Ya'll nailed the fit on this shirt. Best fitting shirt I've had. Got my normal western size.

@FlavourFade I went with my normal IH size (medium). I would not recommend sizing down for a couple of reasons. Despite the measurements looking on the larger end, the shirt doesn't really fit that much larger. Also, I noticed that the shirt fits a little tighter in the armpits. I compared the arm hole measurement with a couple of other medium IH westerns that I own (and some workshirts) and the armpit measurement on this is slightly smaller. I noticed it when trying it on but it wasn't anything that bothered me and I am really sensitive about shirts and jackets that fit tight in the armpits. In addition, the sleeve width is a little smaller as well. I have skinny arms so it isn't an issue for me but if you are more built in the arms I'd definitely ask for armpit and sleeve width measurements just to make sure.
As for the fabric it is a little crunchy as to be expected from new corduroy. I noticed the arm stacks are already starting to set just from wearing it a little as a result. I think this is going to fade beautifully. The fabric is light weight but it still feels substantial.

@hugothecowboy @roydub87 Hey guys, the sizes are not off at all. I have so many IH tops, and imo, for me, this is one of the best fitting shirts I have. I went with my regular IH shirt size. First time I don’t have to fold the cuffs haha, and I don’t mind folding my cuffs. This shirt fits just perfectly, and the weight and the quality of corduroy, well, it’s IH. As far as the price, yes, steeper than before, but as @Giles explained, I figured it would be a concoction of few factors. For me it’s worth it. This shirt is special, and being seasonal, I would jump on it. If it’s made in khaki also one day, I'm all over it!
-
@Alex get it Alex, it’s really an amazing shirt!
-
@northsouthdenimguy If you buy one, I’m going to tell you that you are wearing it wrong…
If you don’t, then I’m going to give you shit for missing out…
Your call, but you’ve been here long enough that you know what to do.
…and please post pictures when you do buy it. Bet it will look good on you
