@worn2fade I just noticed you had a similar concern on your t3! Bummer, I was hoping to see how yours would evo as it seemed like you were putting it through it's paces! I'm sure you'll give the slub hell.

Sorry, to answer your question, I took a 3X which is my typical type 3 sizing. I'm normally a 2-3X in IH tops. I could have prob taken a 2X in this batch with careful washing. Sorry if this makes things more confusing for you.

@Gavin666 I have been wearing my 526L 1-2 times a week since this last release (june-ish?) and indigo has already started to chip away with casual wear only. I'm satisfied with my size choice as I sized it for layering. I can see how trying to get a trim fit on this run could require some legwork up front based on measuring your current jacket.

I have all but boiled my jacket to try to bring the length in an additional inch. If you do decide to order, it may be worth asking the team for a specific length if that's a concern of yours.

I forgot to share earlier. Once they were fully dried in the morning, I staged them to spook my wife before work. She was more annoyed than spooked. Funny regardless.

@Mizmazzle the cut is amazing. I started with 888 for thigh room, have been dabbling with 1955 and this release got me to finally try out the medium rise. I was a little nervous hemming a new cut from gosport before trying them on but I read @yannis post about people converting from 888 to 634 and I totally get it now. I'm sure you'll be stoked once they fully dry!

@tvaillant75 my buddy is currently breaking in his first pair of iron hearts and he chose this pair. Here's the backs of his knees currently. I am breaking a pair in myself and I agree this does feel tougher than XHS indigo/natural.

My friends have heard me talk about the brand for the past year. One of decided to finally try a pair out! What better way to break them in than to camp.

@Mizmazzle our home came with a front loader and was mold ridden. We replaced all of the gasketing and did a deep clean. Now we make sure to leave the door cracked + wipe down the gasket after each use. It will usually dry out within a day or two and stayed cracked. May not be ideal but it does beat having the door wide open all the time. We also have a small laundry cove.

@Sam-OG it doesn't stretch, but it does relax a good bit as @Richard said a long time ago. I was in the same boat this time last year but held out and it is now my favorite shirt. If you size up at all it may look a little sloppy in all other areas.

Iron heart tops in general run slimmer compared to other brands due to their rider first focus. It's just something to get used to.

@Oaktavia I think it's perfect for a fitted look. Any more pulling in the button would be questionable. A size up would risk looking a little long. Great fit overall I'd say.

Thank you @Jack for the boot assistance. They are feeling better by the day!

Not the biggest stout fan but I kind of get it now...

@flannel-slut thank you. This was my only criteria when picking an n1

We have an irobot Roomba. Was wondering why the cleaning ended early this morning...

@Mizmazzle pretty sure triple! I think most of us would agree that it's hard not to do a full IH outfit once your wardrobe is taken over.

@gneicher sorry I just noticed you posted under the hoodie and not the zip up hoodie thread. Either way, I just tried on my XXL zip up olive in this fabric. I'm 2-3X in tops and the 2X is a relaxed fit for me as I like my hoodies. Not sure how much it helps since it's the zip up version.
