thanks guys @nonikes and @tody was looking more for one as a tee, and SJ is not that easy to order from Europe, so I have to keep looking, or cut off some sleeves

[Matt]

Do it. There’s plenty for sale on eBay so you don’t have to feel bad about it.

I did it to one I got on B&S because it was way too wide and short.

I’m not joking. I prefer the cut off sleeve look to a hemmed sleeveless shirt.

The hemmed ones are not as comfortable as cutoffs too.

Is the IHSH-75 the only denim work shirt that Iron Heart has produced with metal buttons?

[Mizmazzle]

Hey friends. I’m wondering about honeycombs behind the knees shifting after a wash. I super hot soaked my XHSbb and got some shrinkage. Not sure if I should just warm machine wash em now to get max shrinkage (kinda scared of marbling…I know some don’t mind marbling but I’d prefer not to get any. Soaking through before wash helps I know too)

My question here is, if I wear em hard for awhile and then wash em in 6 months and get that shrinkage in the length, will those combs shift significantly enough to get misaligned? I’ve heard it’s a thing, but never experienced it myself.

I remember it being the button of choice for their non-flannel workshirts for one season, which included the indigo/black wabash fabrics. Can't recall what year that was.

Thanks @J-IV . I just nabbed a denim workshirt on eBay in nearly new condition, and it has the metal buttons. I’m trying to work out what iteration I’ve just bought.
Ivy mate at work has an indigo wabash with metal buttons (I told him about IH a couple of years ago and he went on a splurge), and it looks really cool.

[J-IV]

@jerkules yeah, I really liked them but there was some QA issue which is why they stopped using them.

Luckily we have GAH options now which is 10x cooler but.. well you know..

[Matt]

@jerkules I believe for specifically denim work models that’s the only one. The aluminum buttons have been on others like the wabash and a 9oz unnrushed flannel but only the 75 for straight denim. I think.

Hey guys and gals, I have an opportunity to buy the 16OZ NON-SELVEDGE DENIM WESTERN SHIRT - SUPERBLACK (FADES TO GREY) from a private party. I got the pit to pit and everything checks out size wise at 24" Why is this shirt labeled SP Large? I guess it means special? If anyone could enlighten me further I would appreciate it. Havent seen any other shirts by Iron Heart labeled like this. Thanks so much!!!!!

SP Large is XXXXL.  We don't have XXXXL labels….

[goosehd]

@themage Just a heads up that I merged your thread with Random questions to which you seek an answer.

[themage]

@goosehd no worries man I had a feeling it wasn't in the right place. Cheers!

[goosehd]

@themage No worries and I also answered the SP - Large question for you in the response above.

[jerkules]

@Matt cool, looks like I just bought a 75 then! Thanks a lot

[Matt]

Congratulations!

Does a thread exist for diy repairs?
I'm in the process of learning how to do some smaller denim fixes
