IHSH-33-BLK - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Black
-
Would love to see this denim done as a workshirt like the 75. (With black stitching while we're at it.)
More options in black denim are planned, although a whether a murdered out work shirt like this https://www.ironheart.co.uk/extinct/ihsh-95.html is on the cards I don't know.

Do you ever obsessively peruse the Iron Heart website, staring at the same Western denim button ups that you don't own trying to convince yourself you "need" them? If yes, then this post is for you. If not, please go complain about Game of Thrones or whatever other activity you find more important than Iron Heart Westerns.
I love classic denim version of the 33. It's a staple of my wardrobe. As of late, because of the LA climate, I find myself wearing it as a "shacket." It's a nice weight and is bearable in the high 70s, even 80s if you're brave enough. That said, I find myself gravitating toward the Westerns that Iron Heart has to offer.
I've had my eye on the black version of the 33, but, from the pictures, couldn't justify the purchase. Low and behold, I find an excuse: my birthday. (It's on Thursday; pm for my address and you can send a check for 20 dollars like my grandma still does. No joke. She really does. I'm 37, too.)
Anyway, I am happy to report it's worth the money. I did not compare this to the overdyed version in the pictures, but it's distinct enough from the classic blue denim to make the purchase feel justified. In the pictures below, I paired it with both yellow and green in order to show the difference between the two colors. From a couple feet away, you can't notice too much of a difference, but up close there's a remarkable difference. Also, the black 33 has a slubby texture to it. It also has a really interesting smell. I don't know if I'm the only one, but if denim has a cool smell to it it makes me like it more. (I know, I'm strange.)
Hope this helps you when considering the black 33. I know when I I was contemplating buying the shirt, I wished for more info and pictures about it.
Thank you to @Chesson f
or all the help with sizing. I think we got a winner. -

IH westerns are in a league of their own. The thing I like about them, oddly enough, are the snaps and the way they make that clacking sound. The best part is I’ll have them for life, assuming of course I maintain my weight [emoji1]

The snapping is awesome. Unlike the other Westerns I've owned, I'm not worried about the buttons breaking or the fabric tearing because of the buttons.

This shirt has become crazy soft over the years. One of my favorites.

Hey special shout out to @Wlemon ,@Sage954 for the pictures. I have a thing about mechanical watches too, which are similarly difficult to find in the wild, on real people. One of these kinds of pictures is worth a million of the other sort. IH does a great job giving us brilliant ideas of how the pieces look–-no complaints here whatsoever with the Stubborn Crew. But I really do appreciate this. I bought my first IHSH-33-Black today, to complement the others. Dang, I love these shirts more than I love Game of Thrones. Whadda'bout that ending? Geez.
