Have you tried turning it off and on again?

@Matt said in F/W 24 Top 3:

I’ve got two shirts from this collection in my top 5 but I’m beginning to suspect I have…

too many shirts? 🫤

You do wonder sometimes where it will end. Alone, presumably, wearing a 21oz selvedge nappy, surrounded by $10,000 dollars worth of shirts.

^ great starting point for those, took me a while to realise 634 can work on a slim frame, wish I'd taken a chance on it sooner.

I've just got a stock notification in for these, time to come full circle with OG cut & denim.

I'm your height but 15kg lighter and my L is a reasonably trim fit in chest and shoulders. I'd say XL is the safer bet.

@themage I just got mine yesterday - I sized down to M from my usual L. It's a good fit, but fairly snug in the chest. I'll wear it exclusively open, so it will work for me, but have a good look at that P2P - it's the outlier measurement with this one, and I think the reason it's been slow to move. I'd say my M is a typical L in every other dimension.

My first chore jacket, and I love it - as Oaktavia says, it wears more like a blazer or sport coat than our usual short denim jackets, so nice for a different look, and you know it'll fade nicely.

I got these and the beige as the final indulgence prior to a spending freeze - and no buyer's remorse here, simply the nicest corduroy I've handled. I had them in mind as potentially good for work, but the very relaxed fit (on me anyway) and luxe fabric rules that out I think. Instead they're the ultimate weekend loungers, the thinking man's sweatpants. Softening up beautifully, if they're as hard wearing as people say it's really the ultimate trouser fabric. Hopefully one of the Japanese workshops step up with an alternative, a charcoal pair in 666 would be another must have.

It's 1am here, gotta get to bed. I'll come back in the morning and have a hard stare at the numbers on that last 4XL.

They soften up very fast. My second workpants after the wabash, and I think it's my favourite cut - a strong but kinda neutral workwear look that would suit any age or body type. Love the simply adorned, straight back pockets, the small fabric patch, and the almost-slash pockets at the front that are that bit easier to access. Quintessential IH I think, and all the better that it's pretty unique to Iron Heart. My only concern (not one most here will share, admittedly) is that they'll fade a bit too aggressively - I won't hesitate to wash mine pretty often. I'd love a non- or slow-fade version for actual work, but I'll be in for the black anyway if they come back in my size!

I woke at 3am from a flannel fever dream, pyjamas (non-IH) soaked with sweat & managed to order an XL before drifting back to sleep. I'm glad I did as they were gone by morning. I've never worked harder to get someone to take my A$500 for a shirt, but I'm confident this is my perfect flannel!

Devil ducks & my first UHF. That's it now, I'm done!

@SKT Have you played any of the Souls games or Bloodborne? It's cut from the same cloth, but a big open world. Too big, I found - I preferred the more linear, contained earlier games and gave up half way through Elden Ring. It's widely loved though. If you've never played a From Software game prepare for quite challenging combat and limited hand-holding as regards both game mechanics and narrative. It's one I keep feeling I should go back to, but I don't think I'm up for the relentless hostility of that kind of game anymore!

Remember the Audi RS6 V10? Seems mad looking back, and it's long gone, as is M5 V10 and even Lamborghini's. I'd love that era of F1 to return, but surely the PR would be fatally out of step with the zeitgeist. More's the pity.

Ferrari's 12 Cillindri engine is the same format as it's Le Mans winner. There's definitely a trickle down of tech, albeit pretty diluted by the time it makes it to our daily drivers.

@will6er Yes, in the N1 category for sure. No guarantees it'll be back of course, it was a seasonal/limited release, but I'd hope with it selling fairly quick in the mainstream sizes that we'll get a re-run.

I've fallen hard for this jacket, hoping it'll be back for FW25. Gotta be black though, it's functional unpretentious style in the best IH way.

Can't see Giles heading to the tropics in 25oz denim.

Yeah he would.

A vile slight - I apologise.

Can't see Giles heading to the tropics in 25oz denim. An easy-wearing mid weight would be ideal for this cut imo.

Anyone else who has these get quite a bit of shrink? I've lost a full inch in the inseam, which I didn't get with the OG 21oz. Unless I'm eating donuts in my sleep I'm pretty sure they've tightened up in the top block too. Is this a typical result of the superblack dyeing process in the vests and jackets? Careful washing, never seen a dryer etc etc.

I'll get another pair when they restock as I can get away with wearing them for work (and they're metal
) but I'll size up and add some length to the hemming.

I just waxed lyrical about the workpant cut in another thread. Wear them for a bit and you'll never go back to a slim leg. I'd love for these to come back, a dark grey would be nice too.

@pechelman Love my 380, but to me it's more a textured dobby than a real sashiko. I think this 21oz is closer to a proper (machine-made) sashiko of the kind that Pure Blue Japan etc specialise in. I passed on this one, but predicable second thoughts kicking in now
