@mxhansen you should measure it the way the store you bought it from measures them.
Here is the link to iron hearts how we measure

@americanathreads thanks for the reply. Is it safe to say that I should size up if this is feeling a touch small?
-
@mxhansen Posting some fit pics here will help so we can see what the fit looks like on you. Type 3s are often worn just over a t shirt, so if it works for that, that's an option.

@mxhansen pics will help for sure. Fwiw I've taken the below advice any time I've questioned any article for clothing for more than 5 min since last year. Also helps to remember with these being hand made products size charts only capture an average and not every individual piece of clothing so if you can, try to request the measurements of the garment that'll be shipped to you.
@sabergirl said in IHSH-389-IND - 12oz Dobby Cloth CPO Shirt - Indigo:
I would size up if I were you, but I know you don’t want to do that. Does it look fine? Yes. But if it bugs you already, you’re never going to be satisfied with it, and you know it.

@ZackB I can’t seem to replicate either measurement is the problem.

@catdad1 thanks for the reply and quote - makes a ton of sense. I’ll see if I can post some fit pics for ref.

Fit check
It’s pretty close to fitting the way I like, and I’m maybe 5lb over my preferred weight (200lb). Just feels a smidge small and unlikely that I can wear a hoodie under come winter.
Would appreciate honest opinions, thank you.
-
@mxhansen very subjective but does appear a little snug through the chest area. My 2 cents would be the next size up especially if that is your initial concern and have thoughts of wearing more than just a tee under. Sleeves appear long currently and may be your hang up on sizing up but that will be alleviated if you button the sleeves and set stacks/creases along the inner elbow.
-
@mxhansen as always fit is subjective and you need to be comfortable. Over a t-shirt and I think the fit is great with no excess overhang on the shoulders or torso. Sleeves will shorten some with wear and as the creases set. If you’re going to wear it for 4 seasons with the intent of a sweatshirt underneath, then it may be small. However, most of us have a few type 3’s for those purposes.
In my opinion, it’s a keeper.

Summer has not always been superhot this year.
So I got quite some wear in during the last months
-
Just picked one of these up and surprised how soft it is brand new. This is my first Iron Heart garment and enjoying it so far. Looks great new but can't wait for it to start to break in.
-
@KyIe OD is the only one that I am not fussed about it fading as it looks so good new

Congratulations. In my opinion, you made an excellent choice for your first IH purchase. Mine gets more wear than any other jacket in my wardrobe. It looks amazing. It’s a perfect weight. It fits and feels great and it compliments everything.
-
Yes, the overdyed is so unique I've never seen anything like it. I was going to get an indigo type III, but they were out of stock in my size. I got into Iron Heart to have a small amount of high-quality clothing but didn't realize how fun it would be to track the progress of the fades lol.
