Had an xl in my cart, and a few seconds later, right before I was about to checkout, it said out of stock literally gone in 60 seconds

Just wanted to give a quick update:
I’ve now received my shirt exchanged in XL instead of XXL, and the fit is spot on. Couldn’t be happier with it.

Huge thanks to the Iron Heart team for the help and for the incredibly fast turnaround on the shipment. Really appreciate it.

@jordanscollected I actually packed it away — turned out mine was one size too big according to my wife. Luckily there were still a few left in XL, so I’m really looking forward to getting it swapped for the right size. Sending my return package tomorrow. Cheers!

This is the XXL on me, worn with just a t-shirt underneath. I’ll be layering it through the winter with a henley thermal or a thin hoodie, and I think the fit allows for that. Maybe the XL would look a bit sharper, but it would probably be too tight in the chest. It’s already a little snug under the arms, but I think that will ease up with wear. Loving the details on this one!

Got a XXL! Thanks again for the feedback on the sizing in my last post. I think this will be great, maybe with some room for layering.

@jfox1980 and @dugafola thanks a lot for the great input. I will try to grab an XXL size for this one.

Hey guys,
I’m looking for some sizing advice on the IHSH-293-OD. I’m torn between XL and XXL.

Here are the measurements from my best fitting shirt, measured the Iron Heart way:

Shoulders: 49 cm

Length: 77 cm

Chest (P2P): 59 cm

Waist: 56.5 cm

Opening: 57 cm

Sleeve: 67.5 cm

Sleeve opening: 11.5 cm

I really like the way this one fits — not tight, just a comfortable regular fit.

Looking at the size chart for the IHSH-293-OD, it seems like I am in between sizes XL and XXL? I’d really appreciate your thoughts or experience with sizing on this particular model. This will be my first CPO, and I've never styled a garment like that before.

Thanks a lot in advance!

@WhiskeySandwich Thanks, man — good to hear! Yeah, sounds like we’re in the same boat. I actually like the fitted look too, but that soak trick sounds clever — never tried that before. I might give it a go next time they start feeling too snug after a few beers
Only thing I’m a bit worried about is the first wash — hoping they don’t shrink too much and end up too small.

I’ve worn these jeans for about 120 consecutive days. They started out a bit too tight, but I decided to push through it. They’re still snug around the waist, but comfortable overall. On days after a bit too much beer and snacks, I do wish they were one size bigger — but at least that encourages a healthy lifestyle

Compared to my 888 25oz, which is pretty baggy, these almost look tight in comparison. I don’t have side-by-side photos, but what do you guys think about the fit at this stage, on this pair?

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated!

Finally got my lefty in xxl, I've been waiting for this for a long time! Feels like I got the size right. fits well over a t-shirt, but at the same time comfortable enough that i can wear a hoodie underneath. the length could be a bit shorter for my taste, but that's often the case with my body and trucker jackets. what do you guys think?

@Boit thanks a lot for your helpful answer good sir! I think I'll just try to stay away from the car and the couch for a little while these then. But it's also tempting to experiment with a little more frequent washing as you said..

This may be a stupid question, but I've had these on sleep until now, when the temperatures higher, and my beloved 888 25oz and 21oz is taking a little break, until the temperatures drop. The thing is that they bleed a lot of color. My fingers and nails are darker, just by putting the jeans on. I fear that my lighter/grey car seats will take some "damage" along with my couch etc. Does it help giving them a wash? I usually have at least 200+ wears before I wash my IH jeans for the first time, and now I am afraid that it will loose fading potential, if I wash them now.. any tips are very welcomed

@Fades-for-future thank you brother. That is good to hear

I got these jeans last week and have just started wearing them. They were a bit tight to start with, but no problem to button up. I could also move freely, but it felt a bit tight in the thighs when I sat down, the first few hours. Already feel that the jeans are starting to stretch and feel more comfortable. These are a little smaller than my hard-used 888 xhs 25oz, which have stretched quite a bit over time and it may feel a little unfamiliar with these in comparison. These are size 34, and size 35 would have been to big in the waist, I think. What do you think of the fit?

@VegaS10 Thanks for the quick response and good information! Good point!

@VegaS10 Great fit! I wore my jacket today combined with my 888 XHS. Here, on the west coast of Norway, it's -5 celsius and with a heavyweight hoodie underneath, it was perfect conditions for a trip with the kids outside. Liked your picture, made me want to put on my jacket, go into the woods and start working with my chainsaw. My jacket will for sure get a lot of abuse in the coming months! Do you guys wash the jacket before you use it, or do you just use it immediately?

@Luijim78 thanks brother!

I had this delivered to my door today. Ordered XXL, I am 184cm tall and 92kg. I'm wearing a hoodie underneath now, but also think it looks good with a t-shirt. This will primarily be a jacket for work, and then it's good to be able to wear layers underneath. What do you guys think about the sizing?

Hello! I have finally taken the step to register on the forum, after discovering the Iron Heart brand last year. I love the clothes and have ordered both jeans and jackets. I'm from Norway and always impressed by how quickly my orders arrive at my door.
