Hey all, I just bought a flawless IHSH-295 from @DirtyMike619. He was a pleasure to work with, great communications and fast shipping. And the shirt was exactly as described. Thanks Mike!

Alex, no problem, just glad to hear it’s still happening! I’m happy to wait.

@Alex said in Samples - New Products We Are Working On:

IHSH-07 CPO

Duck IH-733

Western Duck CPO

Sherpa Lined IHJ-69 (will resample with sherpa collar, though)

Alex, any updates on the Cord Sherpa IHJ-69? I am late to the party and just saw this - talk about a dream come true. I’d love to see this in a mid-brown camel color, but I’m pretty sure you’ve got me sold on this one regardless of color or color choices.

Hey all, I just received a shirt that I bought from @Luke-H and it looks perfect. Luke was great to work with, excellent communication and he shipped fast. Thanks!

I just discovered this thread, apparently I'm a few months late. I grew up wearing a synthetic sherpa lined Levi's denim jacket for many winters, so the synthetic lining doesn't bother me at all. If anything, I find the alpaca lining in my N1 to be so warm that it limits how much I can wear it. We rarely get down below the 20s and 30s here in Oregon.

The depth of color you've achieved with this fabric is really something special, and I agree with others in saying that as cool as this vest is, I would get more use out of a Type 3, a Western shirt/CPO, or a sherpa lined Type 3 with the same fabric and lining. I bought the IHJ-526-SL, but sadly the fit didn't work out for me on that batch. This fabric on a sherpa lined jacket would be epic! Or a western CPO with a dark brown corduroy collar......

@CosmoSix5 thank you, I’ll check out his work!

@CosmoSix5 the shirts look great, but I’ve got to ask, who made those boots? They look awesome!

It's probably too late to help anyone, but I took some measurements today and compared my size XXL IHSH-235-OLV to my new size XXXL IHSH-422-BRN.

• Chest measurement was the same (24")
• Belly and bottom opening were 1/4" wider on the 422 (so close enough).
• Body length was actually the same (31")
• Shoulders on the 422 were about 1/2" wider (19 3/4" vs 20 1/4").
• Sleeves on the 422 were 3/8" longer (27 1/8" vs 27 1/2").

So at least in my case (admittedly, just two samples) the 422 ran smallish, and I am glad I trusted IHUK's measurements and sized up. I still would really love to try on a size XXL just to see if it was too constricting, but I am happy with my fit in the XXXL.-

Mine just arrived and it's a great fit! I really would have liked to try on a 2XL just to see if I could squeeze into it, but the 3XL I got is trim enough to look good, and the chest and shoulders fit well. I wonder if the sleeve circumference would have been too tight on the 2XL. I don't have huge arms, but I have had a few shirts where the width of the arms has been a bit less than I like. These are just right!

I'm really happy with it. I'll have to post photo later when I'm not too busy.

@VegaS10 I have a 9am meeting every Monday, so I got lucky with the 8am (PST) drop this time.

I was worried I'd have to quietly check out in the background of a Zoom meeting....

Got one! Crossing my fingers - I went with a 3XL this time. I typically wear a 2XL, but the measurements seemed to suggest I should go 3XL. Given the heavier fabric, that is my gut feeling. I hope I guessed right. I really would have loved to try this one on first.

Good morning all! Is this going to be a "refresh the page at the correct time" kind of thing? The link isn't working and I can't find the 422 when I search.

@Alex I am 6 feet tall 220 pounds. I don't have a protruding gut, but I'm not an athletic fit anymore. In a t-shirt, my chest is 44", waist is 41", belly is about 41.5"

This is all a reminder that I need to get back on my diet and lose 20 pounds or so.

Thanks Alex - I plan on wearing it as a normal shirt, not an over shirt, so it sounds like my normal XXL will be right.

@Graham and @Alex - Can you offer any specific sizing advice on this one? I wear an XXL in UHFs, and the measurements on the XXL line up with what typically fits me well (trim, but not tight).

That being said, I wonder if I should size up due to the thickness and less forgiving nature of the duck canvas? Thanks in advance, this is kind of my perfect shirt and I've been anticipating this one. I want to get it right.

Thanks for the updates Giles and Graham. I am really looking forward to this one! This is currently at the top of my "want" list.

I’m a few days late with this review, but I managed to snag the last XXL at Burg Und Schild, and I’m really happy with it. Burg Und Schild got it shipped out fast, and it arrived safely in the USA a few days later. The fit is a little different on this one; the body is cut a little larger in circumference, but the shoulders, arms, and chest fit like a typical XXL. I didn’t want to size down because of arm length and circumference, and it’s a good thing I stayed with my normal size.

The arms are perfect in length and width, and the shoulders fit well also. In a perfect world, the body would be an inch or so narrower, but somehow the fabric drapes in a way that keeps it from looking too big. The fabric is also very easy to wear in spite of its weight, and I don’t find it restrictive at all. It’s a keeper for sure!

There were two must haves in this release - the Orange UHF and this camel Corduroy. I feel fortunate to have snagged both.

@Giles I sent you a PM in the hopes that you can grab one for me in Japan. Fingers crossed.

@Ross do you know if these will be restocked this season? I was busy this morning and apparently missed out.

Also, can anyone speak to the sizing and fit on this shirt? It appears to have sewn up a bit wider in the chest and body than my typical UHF size (XXL). Would it make sense to size down to an XL, or would the arms be too narrow if I do so?

@Alex I can imagine it was frustrating, but it sounds like most of us got our sizes and are happy? I'd say all's well that ends well. Your team is such a class act, and your customer service is genuinely unparalleled. I don't say that lightly.

I just scored an XXL and I'm really looking forward to it! This was the one "must have" item for me this fall, and then maybe that brown corduroy shirt......
