[Giles]

DChill, what kept you , it took you all of 5 minutes?

Going to wear it for your wedding this week end?

Ha, could you tell I've been waiting for this one?  I guess my suit will have to do.  Thanks G.

[Splattered]

Shaweeeeet. Man that is one awesome shirt!

I'm kinda glad my regular chambray was sent to me in the wrong size so i can scoop this one up instead

[DrPat]

Your formula for converting from in to cm is a bit off.  For example, in the shoulder measurement for the M, 17.5in != 44.9cm.

[Giles]

DrPat.  I divide 0.39 into the inches measurement to get Cms, what should it be?  Thanks, Giles

[DrPat]

1in = 2.54cm

Multiply the inches by 2.54 to get cm.

Or you can be like Beatle and divide by 0.39370078740157477.

You may laugh, but for a normal chest measurement the rounding error can lead to a 1cm difference.

42 * 2.54 = 42 / 0.39370078740157477 = 106.7
42 / 0.39 = 107.7

[Giles]

All new measurements wil use the correct formula.  I will retro correct the existing ASAP.  Thanks, Giles

This is very nice shirt, is this a heavy fabric?  it seems long in the back lenght compared to others

[maltess]

@Splattered:

Shirt looks great… pockets look really big though compared to the promo shots?

I tought about that too, is that a photo effect? the pockets seem perfect in size by the promo shots but in pictures of people wearing the shirt they look a bit big

[Giles]

We made the pockets a tad deeper so that they would fit the new iPhone.  The fabric is heavy, about 15-16oz…G

"wear as long as possible without washing" For some reason I don't see how this would add more character to the shirt as apposed to a pair of denim. Are there any fades or anything that would happen to this shirt if it used for a long period of time w/o washing?

[corporalclegg]

I really doubt you would get any sort of high contrast fades, but the shirt is definitely built to age well, and im sure that the shoulders and elbows would show more wear if the shirt was washed less often.

[DrPat]

All IH shirts have that label, even the flannels.  The shirts won't fade and you can wash them as much as you want.

I asked Giles this exact same question after purchasing my first IH shirt.

[corporalclegg]

Although all Iron Heart shirts do have that label, im sure that this one will fade, look at the loose thread in the middle of the button hole, which started out the same dark indigo color the rest of the shirt was.  Please feel free to step in and tell me if im wrong on this one G

[DrPat]

My 07 has some very slight fades along the arm seams as detailed here http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=756.45 and I'm sure something similar would occur with this shirt if the dying process is similar.  But it won't fade like jeans and I really doubt it's necessary to pay attention to the amount of washing and wearing (as stated on the label).

These are the vintage overalls that Haraki got the inspiration for the Herringbone favric:

Can some of you guys tell me how heavy the herringbone fabric feels comparing to the hickory stripes ?

thank you
