SJ sashiko Townes with my UES double weave. Love this thing.

Finally got my 292. I was going back n forth on XL vs XXL up until final hour and went with XL for a more dialed fit. 6-2, 200lbs. I tend to always wear shirt under and layer. Really happy and love this classic. IH CPO's are the best design, fit, quality, detail...no CPO is complete without twill cuffs, collar, placket. ; )

When you buy the size too big, sometimes you just shift the plan and improvise for colder days.

16oz Sashiko Ori Indigo, but as you know this feels heavier that IH 21oz, and just more my style. I wish it was CPO style and had the lined placket + cuffs, but without a doubt one of my favorite pieces.

Picked up a Freenote Cloth Utility shirt in Khaki, always liked the design pocket and corozo buttons. 6-2 (200lbs) and Large is great. Typically XL or sometimes XXL in IH.

Day 1 with my new Superblack CPO. Definitely the most stiff and rigid 16oz I've ever witnessed. It will make the wear process in that much more rewarding. I'm 6-2, 196lbs, and often wear XXL and XL Iron Heart depending on the measurements and intent, and XL is perfect for this fit all around. Long journey ahead, and thanks for the inspiration.

My new favorite UES, and I have quite a few. 11.4oz INDIGO DOUBLE WEAVE. Sometimes photos and descriptions just don't do a shirt justice.

Favorite new flannel (sorry IH) no wash or soak yet, but love the double fabrics on shoulders, and elbows down to cuffs. Great design, insane fabric.

Samurai Elemental SMN25-01

I was on the fence with SHF, but now I'm a fan. Love how this is more of a washed black, and a bit more grey in the light (but still black)! 6-2 (196lbs) XXL.

Scored this one a while back and still my favorite UES flannel.

sizing is tricky indeed, mine ended up an overshirt / jacket (my fault with getting wrong size a while back). Sleeves are traditionally a bit longer than usual (at least on mine) but all good. Sometimes we just acquire enough (too much) clothing and everything has it's perfect place and function.

Picked up an XL for a good versatile technical jacket. I was originally going to grab the IH-153 Primaloft quilted Riders jacket, but it was pushed back a year due to some production issues. I figured I'll get one next year, and these are different enough and serve slightly different purposes. Love this jacket, and actually very warm with the fleece lining throughout. The Cordura shell fabric is impressive and will be a great jacket for riding my motorcycle. As with many IH jackets, the pockets and collar are top notch. This is certainly a "collar up" jacket and will get tons of use this winter. Special thanks to ISP for amazing customer service. Ready for the snow storm here in the midwest.

@CosmoSix5 Yes, I just order the duck CPO and am real excited to get it. The sizing always makes me nervous even though I know my measurements well.

Iron Heart tends to either restock or release something I absolutely love immediately after I make a big purchase, lol.

But this denim CPO is a must for me at some point. I'm a sucker for the twill placket and cuffs! The more blue in my closet the harder for my wife to distinguish if it's new purchase. ; )

My original mid 90's Carhartt Detroit Jacket in Carbon Blue.

Thanks for reminding me not to sleep on this shirt. A classic staple for a reason.

When it rains it pours.... Right when I need to be saving money for Holidays. Ultimate test of willpower, lol
Ughhh

@Buckeye my 16oz. sashiko feels like the armor (in a good way) so I can only imagine how this would compare.
