IHSH-211 - 17oz Duck CPO Style Shirt - Brown

Dear Sirs,

If anyone out there has a CPO in duck they'd like to sell please, let me know. Preferably size medium but, small might work as well.

You can find me on Instagram and Fedora Lounge: Motocann

Thanks, Paul

Is there a classified section on this forum?

@pechelman My point being, that mass produced sneakers like Nike make their products in different factories. For example, your Nike’s could be made in Pakistan and mine could be made in Mexico. There’s no standardized way of manufacturing betwixt factories and they’re likely to fit differently depending upon where they came from.

@pechelman The only accurate way to compare is to use a brannock device. Mass produced sneaker sizing is all over the map because they’re produced, from season to season in different factories all over the world. Forget about any quality control or standard sizing.

@John-Galt If the Wesco “E” fits like a normal D width then, why not just call it a D width? Why the confusion about their LAST widths? I also watch the Wesco video which didn’t really clear up any misinformation about how their boots fit.

@BalticBob I own one in green serg. Had to size down one size.

@Blowoutthecobwebs You're not using Youtube any longer? I don't see recent episodes on that format.

@Penny_pants Tried dozens of Wesco boots on... I've found, D width is Wesco's "standard" width, if you have standard D width feet, the E width is too wide causing foot slip.

I suppose the main question I have is why the size charts are in S, M, L, XL and the actual jacket tags are in numeric sizing? Maybe you could state which size on the chart correspond with what jacket sizes.

What is a size 38? Is that a small? or a medium?

Wesco sizing is still perplexing. Now, I hear they are changing their "last" sizing, pray tell?

Hello Giles, Just curious how/why new Iron Heart products continue to pop up on Ebay? For instance, there has been a few of the "soon to be released" 20th anniversary ihsh-332 Flannels on Ebay, coming out of Japan. Is there a source in Japan that has access to IH products before you do? Or, are they bootleg items?

Thanks

Hey, 
The two shirts I had my eye on were the Military Serge Western and the Selvedge Chamray Western. It goes without saying, these are major investments, for sure want to get the fit right!
Thanks everyone for the input and help… the quest continues for the perfect IH shirt!

Hey, I appreciate the input on the sizing. I assumed that the size charts were somewhat accurate and the sizing from shirt to shirt was consistent but, I can see now it's sort of hit or miss. Obviously, the best is to go somewhere to try the shirts on, I bought the flannel at Self Edge in SF but, they don't carry all styles.

I may give IH direct another shot at some point to see if I can nail something I like, thanks again!

Ah yo! …little help with sizing please?

IH sizes are perplexing to me because I never realized the sizing varied so much between shirts. I own a Ultra Heavy Flannel Medium and it fits me like it was tailored but, I recently ordered a chambray work shirt, expecting it to fit "slim" through the body, but it was loose on me thru the waist. The shoulders and arms fit fine but, the waist had a lot of extra material. Now, here's the perplexing part; when I compare the size chart measurements, the flannel states slightly larger measurements both for the chest and waist.

Can anyone recommend, from experience, what shirts fit most similar to the ultra heavy flannels?

Short of ordering several shirts, all in different sizing, and sending back the ones that don't fit, I'm not really sure how to order based upon the size charts which obviously have discrepancies.

Thanx!
