@maple_texas really appreciate the comment, man!
I work in our family business so it’s a little bit complex. I’ll take 4 weeks and then soon after it’s Christmas so I might nearly get 6-8 weeks close together.
Yes trying to imagine that feeling and meeting him right now feels so abstract. Anticipating how big a moment is right around the corner is hard to wrap the head around!
Congratulations Alex and the IHUK team. Best of luck with the preparations for 2029 - excited to continue supporting this fantastic company.
Admittedly, I am a bit OCD with inseam length. The team nailed the hem but part of me think they’re 0.5-1 inch short. Any thoughts?
Thanks both! I’m nervous for how big an adjustment it will be but excited all the same. I’m sure there will be a lot of learning on the job 
We’re expecting our first - a boy in mid October. It’s been a crazy busy year outside of this so it’s hard to feel super prepared. Have enjoyed reading this thread start to finish to see what awaits! If anyone has any good recommendations around birth/newborn phase that would be great.
@AskAxel Appreciate it! I went with my usual Samurai size of 34, I look for 34 inch waist measurements. Happy with the sizing.
@Ikeaparty haha yeah we moved back to Dublin in September. I gave up access to Lee’s donuts for Iron Heart packages arriving the next day
Very happy with my brown bag today. This CPO is a beauty. Similarly I feel the elbows down are a little slim but better armpit room. These IH-720-KHA are killer too - can see these being worn a ton.
I picked up a pair of the recent 25oz release. Would you guys recommend soaking to them first to get any more shrinkage out? Or just wear them. They’re unsanforized, one-wash.
We rollin' in deep indigo black fellas
@AskAxel can you explain further what you meant regarding how you sized these? You normally wear size 32 in Samurai or look for 32 inch waist measurement? I typically go size 34 in Iron Heart and Samurai, and look for 33.5 inch waists. The 25oz pair I have my eyes on have a 32.5 inch waist…
@Inorganic Hey there - sorry I didn’t see this post. Not interested in trades really. Make an offer?
A hot one in Dublin today.

Adding more hashtag data in this thread, regarding washing and shrinkage (or lack there of). I cold hand washed this shirt this weekend and was curious to see the results. Essentially no shrinkage of note.
Pre-wash:
Chest: 22.875
Waist: 22
Open: 22.5
Sleeve: 25.75
Length: 29.25
Shoulder: 19.25
Post wash:
Chest: 23
Waist: 22
Open: 22.5
Sleeve: 25.625
Length: 29.25
Shoulder: 19.25
Make me an offer. Great piece for summer and barely worn..
Looks like a good fit. Always preferable to have a little bit of extra room with a CPO. After some wear and an eventual wash I’d think the chest area will settle a little bit and be pretty much perfect.
