IHSH-232-RED - Ultra Heavy Flannel Buffalo Check Western Shirt - Red/Black
-
Thanks all for the replies, the "un-unringable bell problem" (is that a thing? I assume it is) is exactly my concern. Don't even have the shirt yet so we'll see!

Just snagged an XL in the summer sale, super pumped on this shirt!
Has anyone hot washed/dried this shirt for shrinkage?
I got decent shrink from a cold-wash/no spin & line dry on one of my UHF's:
New/After - Tag XXXL
Shoulders: 19.8/19.8
Length: 30.5/30.0
Chest/P2P: 23.8/23.0
Waist: 23.1/22.7
Opening: 23.2/22.75
Sleeve: 27.9/27.5You could always start low & work your way up to get a slimmer fit.

That's a serious amount of shrinkage considering how you washed. I have admittedly been a bit of a dirtbag with my UHFs because the XXXXLs are on the short side as it is for me. I'm honestly nervous about washing any of them now. None of my other Iron Heart shirts have had any shrinkage issues with regular washing. I guess when my UHF collection gets too stinky and I wash I'll just sell them all LOL. Seriously though, why can't this fabric be pre shrunk before sewing? Out of all the Iron Heart products the UHF seems to be the one that can't be worn and washed when stinky without significant shrinkage.

My UHF had stretched back out after the couple times I've washed and hang-dried them. They start off a little tight after a wash but will return back to where it needs to be.

Best shirt in the world @jerkules - looking fly
-
Such an excellent fit you have there @jerkules with the buffalo!
-
I think you've convinced me @jerkules . I have a couple UHFs in the Western, but man this classic red buffalo check looks KILLER, and clean. Fits ya great, btw, congrats
-
Buffalo with the olive whipcord very good
-
Cheers guys! I always held off for this shirt due to it being extant - doesn’t quite build up the pressure to make the purchase. Recent sale saw to that. But it’s continuous production for a reason after all, and I couldn’t be happier with it. Now to hide it from the wife for a couple of months as I’ve been on a bit of a splurge lately.
And anyone trying to decide on the Division Road collab cargoes, they’re absolutely 🤌🤌🤌

Exactly. The UPS guy showed up yesterday just as she was walking to the car to take the kids to their sports stuff. He’s got all fucking day but decides to saunter on up during the 45 seconds she’s able to see him. She didn’t say anything which is weird. It’s like I’m standing on a mine just waiting for it to go off.

Oh man I feel your pain!! Delivery day is always anxious. Thankfully our courier can deliver to a nearby pharmacy which I can go pick up during a walk or something. Stupid really ‘cause that just means she’ll be pissed but at a later date. But hey that’s a problem for future me.
-
Thanks again for the advice all - I think I got a good goldilocks fit here, seems to fit perfectly right out of the box!
777 Ducks with the unseasonal cameo

Fit looks great @ThunderHawk , the more.i see.of the shirt the more I'm itching to pull the trigger. You like the ducks? Would I be sweltering in the wearing outside of fall?
-
@Joberwocky do it! I Love the ducks! Great color and really nice, tough fabric. Definitely got the knee-pit bite the first few times I wore them but they soften up pretty quickly.
I wasn't actually wearing them yesterday, it's been around 90F and super humid here in Wisconsin lately. Just put them on for the photo op since my actual outfit of the day was old painting shorts and a t-shirt. I could see wearing them in the summer depending on your climate but I'm not here for that. Looking forward to some cooler temps when I can actually wear the damn things!
-
[mention]ThunderHawk [/mention] I’m with you about fall needing to get here soon. Most of my wardrobe can’t be worn here in Missouri during the summer months because of the heat and high humidity. That first cool, crisp day of fall and finally being able to wear a UHF can’t be beat and the buffalo plaid is the perfect way to start it off right!
-
I agree @SKT , I've got a couple UHFs begging to leave my closet, but the temps have been.slowly climbing back into the stupidly humid mid 90's this week…so the majority of my IH gear is getting a breather
-
Looks awesome @ThunderHawk , glad it worked out for you mate
