@phoenixinflight i would love to know the details behind what people think about this. I've always thought the amount of people (not just the ones on this forum) into the whole fade thing is a minority of the sheer volume of folks buying "this type" (big range) of clothes..
But it seems like heresy to not be into it all.
I like my clothes to look like they did when i saw the pics that made me want to buy them. Within reason anyway.
I don't mind the fades and all that but it is of zero consequence to me really.
Actually I see pics some people put up of ancient looking stuff and I'd probably not want to wear it if it was mine.
I think the amount of people wearing "work wear" to actually do solid graft is much diminished, I only wear this stuff when I actually am trying to look sharp going out and about lol. Just being honest....Each to their own I guess, but your point about a change to more fade resistant stuff right off the bat is also a valid avenue to ask about.
Slightly different angle....But for me, it's a good thing.
-
@Stringthing75 I'd have to agree with at least 90% of that, fades don't bother me but at a certain point I can't wear them to work anymore and for me that's 70% of their use.
-
@Stringthing75 Completely understandable perspective and I appreciate your honesty. There is a vocal fade culture on the internet that circles around the heritage world. For me it just depends on the fabric and the intended stylisation. Some fabrics really become elevated through their evolution of fading. That said, I agree with you regarding some heavily worn pieces - including jeans. It's a good excuse to own a variety of garments (within reason) and rotate to extend their life and make aging more subtle, slow and (arguably) graceful.
It makes sense that these expensive garments would be reserved in a lot of people's wardrobes as 'nice' clothes for certain occasions or work etc and it depends on what you do for work I guess. I have come to let go of that distinction getting more into the heritage world and just wear them all whenever I can, whether that be for more workwear purposes or otherwise.

Dig this one. Think it would look great with some copper snaps as well.

@Luke_is_back the IHUK crew are working on it, but as a number of items are releasing in the next week and need to be measured, it could be a few days before they can get the chart together.
This is currently what they are working through:

ARE YOU READY!?

@Stringthing75 I feel understood
I have a couple pieces I'm trying to make mine, but most of my items still look newish. I did the Indigo Invitational twice when I realized I was just using it as a reason to buy more jeans 
-
Is it just me or are y’all sizing down twice on this one?
-
Was looking forward to this one but the size XS comes in a size larger than normal in the shoulders, chest, waist, and opening with the sleeve and length being a size too short - similar to the 448ind. Dimensions look more in line with a work shirt than a western. I’m out on this one also. Fingers crossed that this isn’t the revised dimensions for all western shirts going forward.
No one’s happiness but my own is in my power to achieve or to destroy.

@AdamJ Sizechart?
Paragraph 4.
-
@Shane-B
suits you extremely well mate
-
@Ross The S would be perfect if the sleeves were a tad longer, any chance there are any in the S with a slight deviation in the sleeve length? Cheers
-
There will most likely be. But best to contact the guys at shop@ironheart.co.uk.
-
@John-Galt looking at the sizing of the westerns that have been release this year so far here and in Japan - I think this is the new standard for sizing. Not great for me either.
-
Alex expanded a little on this here:
-
Hopefully the recalibration eventually shifts back towards the prior-recalibration dimensions before I actually need to buy a new shirt.
The overall length and the sleeves are running shorter in the recalibration with the chest, shoulder, waist, and opening running larger. Looks to me like it got recalibrated to the work shirt dimensions.
I get it - I’m just one person (that has a typical slim build) and it is what it is - fingers crossed that the dims revert back over time. -
@John-Galt I'm just one person too... But I'm with you 100%. 12 out of 14 of my IH western shirts are size L. The other 2 are XL. This is looking like a medium would be just on the larger size for me, but doable... if not for those sleeves! Bummer, I was really looking forward to this one. I'll inquire about a medium with longer sleeves, but honestly, I'd need another inch, and that seems unlikely.
