@SaddleSC oh man!! That freenote RJ2 shearling is my favorite jacket of all time. I’m counting the days until it’s cold enough to wear it again. Absolute masterpiece.

Wow, that is quite an endorsement! I think you have pushed me over the edge...this morning I used the 20% Black Friday code to buy the RJ-2 directly from Freenote...I will keep you posted when it arrives...I went with the Size M...fingers crossed!

@SaddleSC oh dude!! You’re in for a treat!! I’m a size L in every IH top I own and I went size medium on mine. Perfect fit. Can’t wait to see it. You go indigo or black? They have those new waxed canvas ones too. Tried one on at Berkeley Supply and would have bought it on the spot if I didn’t have the denim one already.

Thanks for enabling me! I am super excited...sounds like the Medium will be perfect...I wear Size L in UHF Westerns and Work Shirts. My N1 Deck Jacket and M65 are Medium. The waxed canvas is amazing too...I went with the Indigo denim...I love the evo on yours so far...hoping for something similar:) I will post pics when it arrives...

Lads I'm considering buying Shawl Sweater Coat 2.0 (https://dehen1920.com/products/shawl-sweater-coat-2-darknavy?variant=29167588966477) and need your opinion regarding sizing. In Iron Heart I wear M - UHF work shirt, M - N1. And base on the Dehen measurements XS or S seem to be options. I don't want it to be too loose but I want to be able to have a thick henley +UHF underneath.

I wear a size large UHF and have the Dehen classic cardigan in a size medium. I can wear it over a UHF but really love wearing it over my 13oz Wabby.

So sizing down from M to S? right?

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

I’m also a large in most my IH pieces and medium in Dehen - so one size down

[flannel slut]

@Karol not to scramble your head any but I own the shawl cardigan in a size small, in between M and L for UHF western, and can wear a henley underneath comfortably but feel a bit of a stuffed sausage w a UHF under. I do find myself wishing I sized up to a medium these days to wear with more layers.

[Karol]

@flannel-slut good insight, but since the Dehan measurements indicated XS-S, I feel that going S might still be the way. I feel that I could manage M in IH UHF western if I only dropped few kg from the waist.

[flannel slut]

@Karol if you fit comfortably in a UHF medium then you'll be good in a small for the shawl collar -I float between both M and L for the UHF and am awful at second guessing if I went with the right size w most purchases

@flannel-slut how itchy is the shawl? Thanks

[flannel slut]

@Jay406 it is a bit course but the weave is very tight/dense (not a “hairy” sweater) so you’re not getting any scratch from stray yarns. I’ve worn just a tshirt under plenty of times and never once thought it as itchy.

[Jay406]

@flannel-slut that helps a lot. Thank you

[Mizmazzle]

My sentiments exactly. Love how dense the weave is. Drapes nice and heavy.

@Mizmazzle I’m thinking I’ll buy it. I’m sure it would layer well with my Barbour Bedale on those cold wet days too

[Mizmazzle]

@Jay406 I can fit my classic cardigan under my type 3 and it’s an incredible base layer if I decide to go that route.

[guiltyparty]

@Mizmazzle I agree. I use my classic cardigan as a liner for my M65 more so than anything. It's an awesome piece.

I finally made the move. I went for the 2.0 ver with the waxed elbows patch. What You wrote about the sizing, plus checking their website and realizing that the size chart says “body measurements”, not garment, and when I eventually understood that I want to layer a ton underneath, made me go for M. Let’s see how this will go down.

[flannel slut]

@Karol nice bud. I regret not going medium w mine for the exact reason you mentioned; layering. Looking fwd to the fit pics!!
