This shirt was my first piece of Iron Heart clothing... It's my favorite shirt! 3.5 years, a couple hand washes, and aging beautifully if I may say so myself!

My first IH type 3 jacket. 3.5 years, 0 soaks, 0 washes. Hard not to feel good wearing this thing!

I dyed this shirt using susuzome dye, which is a natural Japanese dye made from the soot of burnt pine wood. Ended up dying it twice as the first round resulted in a pretty light grey. I was hoping for a little more consistency in the variation, but overall I'm pretty pleased with the result. I really like how the bottom half turned out, but it gets a little plain on the upper half. Might go for a third round some day... we'll see.

My pair just arrived yesterday... first pair of 25oz. These jeans are absolutely ridiculous!

I can already tell I am going to love them though.

@Chibs Good call... yeah it actually feels great with a hoodie! I could probably use to lose a few pounds in the belly... but that hoodie test gives me confidence that I got the right size. Thanks!

I just got a watch! Hamilton khaki field in bronze. I've never really had a watch before. This one should age nicely.

I could use some reassurance that I made the right sizing choice here... how do you all think this XL fits? I'm sure it will feel a lot better after a few wears... but it feels a little snug right now.

@xaqh I'm with you 100% on those tiny sleeve openings! I am a very similar height, weight, and chest, and went with L. I've just been treating my jacket and hoodie as one and it's not too bad. But I've found a UHF cuff under there to be almost impossible! The sleeve opening is my only complaint about this beauty. I might try opening and resewing one of the seams in the cuffs at some point, to give them a slit. For now though, just gonna accept these tiny little sleeve holes, because everything else about this jacket is just chefs kiss!

I love this brown-quickly-overdyed color! If the lining were wool it would be a must have for me. I just have a hard time with synthetic material in clothing...

Sophomore album from the band Weite, a Berlin based band that you could call an Elder side project. Good stuff.

I got an order in for a truck rider in espresso horsehide. Veg tanned Horween. I am very excited!

@John-Galt I'm just one person too... But I'm with you 100%. 12 out of 14 of my IH western shirts are size L. The other 2 are XL. This is looking like a medium would be just on the larger size for me, but doable... if not for those sleeves! Bummer, I was really looking forward to this one. I'll inquire about a medium with longer sleeves, but honestly, I'd need another inch, and that seems unlikely.

@Rustygate37 bummer! No, I haven't tried to do anything about it yet. We'll see... I'll report back if I end up altering it.

Yay for brown! Very excited for this one.

XL ordered! This will be my 6th IH type 3, but first Indigo...Now I just need to try and not look too closely at the SExIH25 next week!

Excellent, thank you both for the info!
