IHSH-454-BRN - 11oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Brown
-
Well, I ordered a large and asked the crew about a trying to find one closer to my ideal. If it doesn’t work, I will be sad. But, I thought about this a bit last night, and have some thoughts.
Over the last 7 years or so, Iron Heart has become such an important part of my life and my identity. I don’t ever have to decide what outfit to wear, just what combination! That’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but basically true. I am pretty much always wearing an IH western shirt (and pants, and jacket). As someone who is pretty awkward, lacking confidence, and a more than healthy dash of self loathing, these clothes provide a little bit of comfort and confidence. And I don’t flaunt it. It’s purely a ‘for me’ thing. I don’t even like people to know the details about my wardrobe. I get self conscious about it. I am financially comfortable, but not a wealthy person, and the amount I spend on these clothes is straight up unreasonable. But it is totally worth it to me. Quality matters to me. And maybe its because it gives me a stronger barrier from the world, but I am so much more comfortable in think heavy clothes. Anyway, blah blah blah… my point is… I am privileged to have so many great fitting IH western shirts, and if these proportions are the ‘new’ norm, or back to the old norm, or whatever, I am sure they are perfect for plenty of people. And if those folks are able to get a shirt that brings them even a fraction of what these things bring me, then hell yes, get it! Bodies are different. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience whatever these clothes might bring to their lives. Cause it’s not insignificant. It’s powerful shit! And I’ve already got a lifetime supply… At least until I inevitably gain a significant bit of weight
. At which point, maybe these proportions will be perfect for me again!Anyway, rant over. I appreciate you guys.

@Giles lol I wasn’t going to say anything, but as someone who has had to “flip up” the cuffs as these western shirts for almost 2 decades (and it’s not like I have short arms), I’m all for how these came out

That's not a rant, that's a eulogy. Thank you....

@Rangadello well said and thank you!

@Appfaff Adam i was thinking exactly the same thing and refrained posting. I have been flipping my cuffs on my shirts since day one.

Unfortunately, GP got their delivery a little late, so I wasn’t able to pick mine up today. Based on their measurements, I’m sticking with a 3XL, which is a pretty typical size for me. Sometimes I go with a 4XL, just depends on the shirt and the measurements. Champ sent me a pic wearing his usual size, and it looks like it fits him pretty much like every other shirt he owns. Take all that with a grain of salt, but I do think people might be overthinking this one a bit…

@Anesthetist I went with the same configuration! Been looking forward to this one since it was announced.

@Anesthetist Definitely! I have been hoping for a western in this color since they released a mechanics shirt in a similer shade a few years back.

Lost bearings align,
Quiet recalibration,
True north found once more.A haiku for this great shirt.

Yeah UPS can kiss my ass. But as mentioned, this is a Large and it's the perfect size. I know it's not the case for some people but I think most people should still stick to their normal IH western size on this one.
