I just grabbed the last Size L...I have an oiled in Large and a non-oiled in Medium in the Khaki color from previous seasons. I feel like my Goldilocks size would be to split the difference which is exactly where the measurements show this one...fingers crossed!

@SaddleSC I suspect I may regret it lol. I’m glad you managed to snag one man!

It is too bad we don't wear the same size, we could just do a timeshare arrangement as we tend to have similar taste!

After also grabbing the Navy N1 Deck, this is shaping up to be a spendy Tuesday:)

@SaddleSC Nope, but I wasn’t really digging the colorway. Awesome for those who want it, but I just had a feeling I’d buy it, throw it on, and it wouldn’t be me.

It worked out for the best then! Haha
I knew I would regret it if I didn't snag one so I had to go for it...I like the "pre-faded" appearance of the colors:)

@Brandrea Were you able to snag one?

Done...Size Large secured!!!

Mine is inbound from Rivet & Hide to the US...should arrive either tomorrow or Friday at the latest. I am really excited for this one!

@SaddleSC your photo was what pushed me over the edge. Thanks

Congrats and glad I could be of service:)

This shirt is amazing. I think I am actually starting to prefer the Slubby SHFs to many of my UHFs because I can get more days of wear out of them in more moderate temperatures. The feel in the hand is very unique also...almost like rugged flannel armor on the outside that is soft and comfortable on the inside. I am also hoping that IH does more SHFs in this Overshirt fit. I sized down from my Western size (from L to M) and it fits perfectly with a bit of room to layer. Here are a couple of pics alongside one of the first SHF offerings.

Wow! This one is selling FAST...I am very excited I was able to snag a Size L...this is the best release of they year IMO...LOVE IT!!!

@americanathreads Fit looks spot on! Can’t wait for mine to arrive!

You are going to love it, brother! I have owned the Large for a couple of years, and I was able to snag an XL this year so it can serve double duty as a light shirt jacket. Both fit really great...it is my favorite IH piece (and that is really saying something)!

FS: IHM-35 N1 Deck Jacket ODG Whipcord NEW

I am selling my new IHM-35 N1 Deck Jacket in OD Green Whipcord Size MEDIUM. I am the original owner and the jacket was purchased at Rivet & Hide. I also own the oiled version and this one never made its way into my rotation so it is time to find it a new home for winter. The tags are still attached!

The measurements are as follows:
P2P = 22.25"
Shoulder = 17.25"
Length = 27"
Sleeve = 27"

The price is $625 includes fully insured shipping to CONUS with tracking...thanks for looking!

@ZackB @tody @jerkules Cheers! Feel like it’s the colourway I never knew I needed until now!

I sized down in this and I’ve ended up with a better fitting flannel than my regular work shirt UHFs… Short torso, so this seems to cater.. I may need to pay more attention to this ‘overshirt’ option!

I thought I was the only one! I typically take a Large in nearly all IH clothing and I went with the Medium on this shirt (based on the measurements) and it fits like an absolute glove. Probably my favorite UHF/SHF of my entire collection. They really hit it out of the park with this one!

@northsouthdenimguy The jacket fits you perfectly! If you wouldn't mind sharing, what size did you end up buying and what is your height/build? From the pictures I am seeing the "shorter sleeves" indicated on the sizing charts does not seem to be the case in person.

I wear M/L in my regular IH N1 jackets but went with the Large in this one because the overall length and sleeve length looked like they came up a bit short on the charts.

@Brandrea Khaki...always Khaki:)

I just saw the email for this release and was able to track one down on Rivet & Hide (my favorite IH retailer) in size Large! At first, the sleeves appear a tad short but everything else is spot on with my Iron Heart A1 from last fall so I think I am good to go...very excited!

These look really short in overall length, not for a shirt in general, but for a CPO shirt. I have the IHSH-293 OD CPO and it is slightly longer than a typical shirt. Not sure I would like a CPO as short as this one appears...would it not make the pockets too high to be useful?

@Brandrea If you have any sensitivity to wool whatsoever, you will hate the Dehen. If you are still determined to give it a shot, another option is to look on Grailed for a like-new preowned...that is where I sold mine and the value tanked like an anchor. I sold it like new for $235 (MSRP $435). That way you don't have so much "skin" in the game...pun intended!

@Brandrea I owned the Shawl Sweater Coat in Whiskey and I guess the "skin feel" is different for everyone, but it was absolutely the scratchiest wool garment I have ever worn. The forearm of the sleeve fits quite snug so unless I was wearing a long-sleeved mock turtleneck or something, any exposed skin felt like it was being lightly rubbed with sandpaper. I can wear my Filson Mackinaw Cruiser (which is also heavy wool) over a short-sleeved T-shirt with no issues, but the Dehen was just too much for me to handle so I sold it a month or so ago. I wish I could find a way to get along with it because the fit and quality is pure perfection. They use a different knit for the beanies, and I have three of those and wear them all the time...go figure!

I have easily 30-40 Iron Heart items in my closet and this is by far my favorite piece of clothing...it is the epitome of everything that Iron Heart is great at in one piece. It can be used as a shirt or a jacket and the heavy-duty snaps are the icing on the cake!
