@catdad1 yeah exactly what I might do. IH advised against it, but I'd rather have something that fits well. I don't care at all about perfect stitching. There is a denim tailor in my area that is really good.
Most shirts (not just IH) are designed to fit big in the middle, narrow up top or just narrow or big all the way through. Athletic cuts are difficult to come by in this market so a tailor is really the best option.
@Bailey I'm guessing same goes first 526L, 526LOD, IHSH-292 / 293? May/June?
Looking forward to seeing this!
Does anyone tailor their Iron Heart shirts or is that not advisable? After trying several IH shirts, they all seem to narrow in the chest and shoulders at a size that looks good on me. When sizing up to fit my chest/shoulders the sleeves and body are too long.
@Goz I had the same question. @Giles mentioned the once soaked the indigo version should be the same or close to the OD measurements. So just look at the OD measurements when they are released and get the one that matches your best fitting jacket, especially if you have a type 3 or similar. I actually don't understand why some say it runs small. The measurements from the old versions compare in size to other IH type 3s. The Lefty jackets seem to look more slim fitting, so maybe that's what people are talking about. I personally like that.
These guys are from my home town along with Sleep and High on Fire. They put out one album. I used to go see them all the time. Nice guys. There was a pretty good scene from mid 90's to early 2000's.
@yannis ok Thanks. Hard to say if these will work and I'd have to try them on. I wear a 33 in 888,634 & 633 in 21oz. I wear a 34 in those cuts in other fabrics. I guess the 21oz fabric runs bigger. The thighs fit well on my 888s, but the waist and seat are just a little too big. I have some SBG 633s in 34 and that's a perfect fit. I won't size for my thighs anymore because I think it's better to get a good fit on the waist and seat. I've never tried the 666 cut, but squeezing my legs into a 777 was not a pleasant experience so I'm guessing a 666 would be the same deal.
What?! This cut is awesome! Like a 517 bootcut! Would love this in 21oz. No returns if you get the sizing wrong is a tough pill to swallow.
@Alex I might be in the minority, but I don't think there could ever be too many IH type 3s. Especially when most of them are sold out most of the year.
I put this in the CPO thread, but adding here. A type 3 in 18oz vintage fabric would be excellent.
@AdamJ awesome! Yeah, would love to get that.
A type iii in 18oz vintage fabric would be cool.
@goosehd cool, thanks. I looked on the shirts page and could not find it.
What is the price? Thanks
@Ross bummer literally all the hot stuff drops in April instead of throughout the year. So it goes, can't get 'em all.
@Matt good to know! @aksu yeah, I'm finding it difficult to get a slim fit look. Mid thigh has been an issue across all cuts so far. I tried the 777 and that was a joke trying to fit my legs in those. Looking forward to seeing how this pair changes. I'm going to try the 1955S cut. Since the thigh does not taper I should be able to fit the waist top block properly without it being an issues in the legs and get a slim look out of them. I also dig the mid/high rise cuts. Thanks again everyone!
Thanks for the extra clarification @Giles and @neph93 . It's all very helpful and you just saved my pair of jeans! I'll just wear the crap out of them as is and be done with it.
