Rhett rocking an UHF, hell yeah

Looks pretty fake to me

Does anyone own both this and the IHSH-189-BRN duck, and might have a single photo of them side by side under the same lighting?
Trying to determine if these two are different enough in coloration that I'd want both...

@dirtyframer

When I received mine this was the first thing I thought of. I expect this will happen quite regularly

@blue2gnt I can't tell if that was supposed to be witty or something but wonderful to hear you don't care at all about your shirt being perfect anymore.

Now fuck these shirts up people! Let's see some real evo photos in the not so distant future.

¡Ir0n H3@rt KVLT! That would be rad on a 7.5oz t-shirt.

Wit is educated insolence, I think someone once pointed out

Now...if they could just do another run of the Olive we'd be in business.

@blue2gnt I think you confuse what the IH brand as a company thinks of the big buck's production issues vs what the majority of the forum users feel.

I can't tell if you mean that IH takes the issue more seriously, or if forum users take the issue more seriously? But it doesn't matter. My shirt arrived today. I love it. End of story.

Is it mildly annoying that it isn't as perfectly constructed as other IH gear that cost much less? Of course. Do I care? Not at all. That's why I chose to keep it.

For anyone who responded to my earlier post and turned this thread into a discussion about something other than the product itself, please check your browser address bar. You'll find it says forum.ironheart.co.uk. It does not say cult.ironheart.co.uk. That is a subtle but important distinction about the purpose of this place, and why many of us choose to spend time here.

Performing your disappointment in this space for all the world to see must be a thrill. Perhaps you think you’ll receive more apologies this way, or just make more folks feel bad or somehow guilty for something they don’t have control over.

I guess I'm never too old to learn something new! 44 years old and all this time I thought companies who sold clothing had some level of control over the quality of the product they sell.

What's even wilder is I thought they might even rely on their customers to provide them with feedback on the products they buy in order to improve said quality, but that's obviously nonsense too

Thanks for setting us straight!

@blue2gnt so they let you know before they sent it. To inquire weither you still wanted it? I re read your post I missed that part....

Yes, that's what I meant when I said "I was notified today that the only shirt available to fulfill my order was the one pictured"

Ultimately I decided to keep my order (should arrive tomorrow, so remains to be seen how much this will bother me once I put it on).

Still very excited to receive this, just super disappointed because I fully expected (given the price) that this would be the most high quality IH piece I own, not the lowest-quality one.

@blue2gnt I just got mine today and mine has the same issue. Did you reach out to them.

Yes I did - I haven't received mine yet though

So I decided to check how obsessive I was being on this and took the photos to my wife - ostensibly a neutral party (largely because she has no concept whatsoever of how expensive it is) and said "hey do you notice anything weird about this shirt?"

She said no. I said look again. She spent another 30 seconds looking at it. Other than a few "Do you really need more Iron Heart shirts" she didn't find anything unusual about it.

I then said 'look at where the pockets are lined up', and she immediately said "oh yeah, now I see"

To me, this means it passes the "does this look fucked up" at first glance test, which is enough to convince me not to cancel my order after all. I know this is always going to bother me, and this particular piece probably should have been sold as an irregular with some sort of a discount, but what would bother me more is never getting one of these shirts at all, given how limited they are.

These deer did not die in vain.

@FlavourFade It doesn't end my experience with IH, not at all. Just ended the honeymoon.

@nixage arguably worse / more noticeable

Got mine ordered! Been waiting on this one for a while

Welp...my heretofore flawless experience with Iron Heart has finally come to an abrubt end. I discovered the brand in November 2025, and have since purchased 26 pieces totaling $8,780 over these past 7 months and had nothing but a perfect experience every time (from the quality of the product to the level of service from each of the stockists).

However, all good things must come to an end I suppose, and the BIGBUCK is the one that ended my streak of luck with the brand. I placed my order for this at 11:01am ET the day of the drop (yes, less than 60 seconds after they went live), but was notified today that the only shirt available to fulfill my order was the one pictured, where the pocket on one side of the shirt was sewn on crooked and twice as far away from the placket as the pocket on the other side.

I thought about it and knew that I would never be able to get past having paid full fare for the one shirt in the batch that was defective so if ANYONE else purchased this shirt in Large and decide you don't want it, or it doesn't fit, please message me before you return your shirt to IH. I may be interested in buying it from you.

100% bummed about this, as I had been waiting for this shirt literally since i discovered this brand. I guess I can take the wife to a very nice dinner with the $1500 coming back into my account. For anyone else who isn't particular about your clothing, there will be one more Large coming up for sale on the site shortly!

Got mine ordered! Been waiting on this one for a while

@Nobunaga
Yeah I noted in my order to ask the crew to send the smallest XL they have. If that doesn’t work I’ll order a Large and ask them to send the biggest one.

This is a strange shirt in that it has a full 2” gap in width between the L and the XL

@Tago-Mago I have possibly the nerdiest and the most thorough size-checking process of anyone on the forum which is why this one particular order is troubling me

I have a spreadsheet that contains the sizes of every item I own (15 of which are IH items), along with my ideal size for each measurement. I then take the measurements of items I'm looking to order and key them in, and the spreadsheet tells me how much each garment deviates from my ideal size (in inches and %), as well as what other single existing item I already own that is most similar in size to the item I'm looking at purchasing.

Where this system fails is for an item like the IHTL-1213...

• I have this shirt in L in two other colors
• For the Indigo color, the size chart seems to indicate I should wear an XL, because the P2P measurement is 21.7" (my ideal is 21.5)". My large versions of this shirt in White and Black are 21.3 and 20.9" respectively. For this shirt in Indigo the size chart says 19.7" for a Large, which is more than an inch smaller in width than the other colors

So I look at two stockists who have models wearing this shirt (below):
Franklin: The model is 5'10", 175lbs wearing a large. Shirt fits the model perfectly (other than shoulders being too wide)
Withered: The model is 6'0", 175lbs wearing a large. Shirt fits the model perfectly (again, aside from the shoulders)

I am 5'9" 162, so naturally a large would be my appropriate size right? It probably would be a bit too big, since I am smaller than the models. Nope - the IH measurements guide indicates I might not even be able to get a large over my chest, and I should order an XL. Make it make sense...

I ordered the XL but I'm reasonably certain I should have just ordered the large. The XL surely cannot be an inch smaller than the same shirt in a Large in a different color...

@goosehd any estimate on what it costs (approximately) to return a single shirt from US to UK?

I am between two sizes as well and wondering if its worth the return shipping cost to try both. If it's ~$15 USD then yes. If it's closer to $30 probably will just go with the Medium

Really wish the silver buttons were in stock right now. Speaking of which, what size are the buttons on this (should the silver ones get restocked later and I decide to retrofit them on at that point)?

Cool story, and similar to my journey, in that I started with a single pair of 555S-SBG that arrived just before a trip to Japan during which I bought 13 other Japanese denim items (12 jeans and one Jacket), including the same 555-XHS that you went to right after the black.

I then took the same path as you (less stuff, but better) by unloading about $2000 worth of clothes on eBay while simultaneously going completely batshit in the other direction by buying 14 Iron Heart shirts/jackets/jeans in a 60 day period...

More is less. But also more...

Two more IH items coming my way later this week with the restocks for this week... and my current Iron Heart Wish List is 30 items. I could only fit a few in my forum signature so I just stopped bothering to update it

Looks awesome

Need to bring this one back!
Used ones are available but I want the copper snaps, so…
