Y2 IR-42, IHSH-389-IND, 888-nin

Seeing the Withered Fig guy:

Indigo Single Rider (IR-42). Around 20 wears in, getting some creasing on the arms and shoulder mobility is getting better… but this is going to take I think ~100 wears before it’s comfortable!

I’m sorry, did you say -TWENTY ONE- oz work shirt?

For what it’s worth, I used to be a huge Arc’teryx fan. They were subsequently sold to Anta (a Chinese company), who left the BCI (better cotton initiative) to continue using cotton from the Xinjiang region of China (where forced/slave labor of Uighar muslims to work crop fields has been reported). Of course, I’m not an international trade expert, or cotton expert, or clothing expert, or… you get the point. I also don’t support 3Sixteen (India) and Post O’alls (China) for reasons in the same bucket. Again, I’m not an expert, I can’t say I have even a tenth of the information, and I could be completely wrong in my decision.

Iron heart appears to be a company that supports ethical manufacturing, fair pay for workers, environmentally conscious sourcing and development practices, and just plain appears to treat people well. It’s becoming harder and harder to find clothing companies to purchase from that can say all of those things. So, very grateful to you guys and the work that you do!

1. That 21 oz monster sashiko shirt
2. The duck bomber I’m going to wear over it
3. The Tiger camo pants I’ll be wearing with the above combo as we survive the post-apocalyptic wasteland

Seven things that I am not initially excited about, and then immediately have to get when more pictures/information come out. Along with, of course, the four pieces that are immediately going to sell out.

7 wears in; XXL on 6’1”, 210 pounds. The arms were quite tight initially, but have loosened up nicely with wear!

It allows me to add some IH hall of fame pieces to my cart. For free!!

Damn you all. In for one from Iron Shop Provisions

@Alex it was strange! I clicked on the drop-down menu, went to ‘+shop’, then ‘+past and future’, and hit the ‘reloved’ tab. Yesterday, this navigated me to a collection of items that I realized were the entire stock on the site. I hadn’t seen that before, so I scrolled through it. Most of the Hall of Fame Pieces were not able to be added to the cart, but those three were! And checking now, doesn’t seem like I can add them to the cart again. Additionally, the ‘reloved’ Tab appears to be fixed, directing only to reloved items now. I never checked out with the items, and have now removed them from my cart, too!

@Darth-fader These Shop Vancouver Y2 chore jackets really do a great job creasing, and shrink to fit nicely. If it’s a little loose to start, I think that’s the way to go!

Is it just me, or did this one smell absolutely terrible coming out of the bag?

What if one gets lost? What if you want to layer up? 3 of each color, obviously

@BalticBob Depends on the model of the Flat Head. I’d say that the single rider has wider shoulders, a slightly narrower chest, and a narrower waist than the IH equivalent size. The Flat Head Type 2 fits slightly looser in all dimensions. Can’t speak to the J24, but the IH sizing and fit appears much, much looser than the equivalent Flat Head numerical size.

Did you by chance let the washing machine do a spin cycle (after the wash cycle)? This will often lead to vertical fades like you’re seeing. Can also be (slightly) prevented by washing inside-out.

I’d 100% size up and have something that I can actually wear (and will conform to my body), rather than something that’ll look great in pics but can’t practically be worn. Horsehide will crease and ‘shrink’, but won’t stretch and get larger.

Honestly I love the current site; I can’t wait to see an even more improved version of it!

I’ll buy either! With or without pockets, but would certainly prefer pockets
