I just picked up my new shirt and I’m impressed! The fit is very good with armpits feeling a bit snug. That will relax soon enough I expect. What surprised me is that this shirt already feels softer, less cardboard than my ihsh-295-ib after dozens of wear. And it’s deeper black than I expected which is not a bad thing at all.

I couldn’t restrain myself and ordered a Large. After the 526-Lod and a 634 slubby OD this will be my third OD iron heart item. But it’s a first for the 18 oz vintage denim. Looking forward to receiving this!

I just picked up mine in medium at Arborator in Haarlem, Netherlands. I usually wear iron heart jackets and shirts in L but this was plenty roomy and comfortable in medium.
Last year I really wanted the green one but the big print on the back was a no-go for me so I was happy to see a new hoodie without the big print.

I just picked up mine on a nice visit to Arborator Denim Company. He’s still got some of this shirt and a couple of watermelon westerns.

One of the benefits of left hand twill, hence the leg twist in the 19L jeans. I love it!

@Denimhead-0 Wow, I really love those colours! That’s the mustard version, right?
How’s the thickness of this fabric compared to 12oz UHF?

Don’t know how the ups-guy managed to get this to my front door. Extra heavy delivery!

Mine arrived yesterday and I couldn’t be happier!
Here together with its type 3 14oz indigo-black brother that has had a couple of dozen wears:

I received my jacket from Ironheart Germany today but I’m not too happy with it unfortunately. Button spacing seems all over the place, something that shouldn’t happen on a jacket in this price range imho. I know the spacing is different for the top button and the one below but this is on another level. I think I’ll contact Ironheart Germany for an exchange, what do you think?

He who hesitates is lost. I dithered and now the XLs are all gone. Oh well…

Ironheart Germany still has XL available at the moment. I snagged one there earlier today as they were already gone at IHUK.

@Marcel have you run a compare on those jackets, assuming your 14oz ib is from the most recent run? General rule is trust the measurements not the tag size. You can compare items here:

Yes, I did. The 14oz in is indeed from the most recent run. I will go for measurements, a small bit of extra width in waist and p2p won’t harm as it means I can layer it as that is something I most definitely can’t do with my current 526Lod.

Although I was sure I really wanted a 526L as my next jacket, the stiffness of my 526Lod also means I wear that jacket a lot less than my 526j-142ib. I love the way the 19oz L fabric develops over time but if I won’t wear it it’s of no use right? So time to switch to the 21oz version. However the dimensions are slimmer on the shoulders, length and sleeves compared to the jackets I mentioned above, which I both own in L so I’m tempted to grab this in XL. Does that make sense? I’m 1,84m and 78kg. Xl is sold out already but still available elsewhere.

I grabbed the last 32 and it arrived this morning. Perfect fit, slightly snug in the waist but that will be alright after a couple of wears.

Some details of the fabric and a comparison between the overdyed slub of this pants and the overdyed lefty denim of the IH-526Lod.

Although I really like herringbone and handwarmer pockets I'm afraid this will be too similar in appearance to my beloved ihsh-295-bb.

@FlavourFade
The dimensions are pretty much identical for size L but because of the lighter fabric the 14oz feels less restrictive.

I grabbed the last L from Ironheart Germany.
Here together with my 526Lod. The difference in weight and stiffness is huge but I felt the need for a bit more lightweight jacket.

While visiting Arborator in Haarlem last weekend I noticed this model and couldn't help myself and had to try a size 33. Needless to say I was sold so I can call myself the proud owner of another 19oz ironheart denim, next to my 526Lod jacket. The Lod denim is even tougher than the non overdyed denim.

Size L confirmed, now the wait begins! Really looking forward to this one, what a stunning shirt!
