Got mine from today from @Iron-Heart-Germany. Perfect fit, looks great, feels like I’m wearing armor. I love it.

Got my order in at @Iron-Heart-Germany . Can’t wait!

@VegaS10 Yea, I did some cross referencing IH measurements vs Self Edge and across the chest they always seem to report somewhere around 1-2" smaller.

I think going in knowing that -- along w/ what size you normally wear will allow us to make a somewhat educated guess. I'd just go look at the reported SE measurements of some pieces you already own and use that as the guide.

Definitely wish the IH guys were able to get measurements off first because, IMO, they do it the correct way.

@Snafu Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying.
Let us know if you get an answer from SE about the sizing.
It looks like I need a XXXL instead of my normal XXXL, but I dont want to be swimming in it.

I wrote them on Instagram, I’ll report back here if I get a reply.

Got my order in for the IND in XXL.

That site is seeing a shit load of traffic right now.

Ended up getting the IND and the OD CPO’s.

Had to go with a XXXL in the OD and think it’s probably going to be too big, but risked it for the biscuit since it was the one I loved most in the photos. Figured I wouldn’t have much issue selling or trading if it doesn’t work out.

@Tago-Mago
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I never noticed the “compare” button so that’ll be a nice tool to use going forward.

I measured out a pair of jeans I have that I really like (N&F Shinigami - weird guy fit) and the measurements were all very similar except for the knee. The 555’s were a tiny bit slimmer at the thigh, and that’s exactly what I was going for. I think I just grossly underestimated the knee measurement (8.6 on the 555 vs 9.6 on the Shinigamis) and how that taper from upper thigh to knee can affect the fit at the middle thigh.

No biggy though, still in the learning process and atleast IH customer service is top notch.

I’ll definitely be comparing around to see If I can find what I’m looking for.

What size do you guys recommend for 12 oz Wabash western shirt, Im 6’4, 230lbs? XXL or XXXL
Thank you

I'm 6'4 and 200 lbs and normally wear a XXL in Western cuts and an XL in Work cuts. Really though, you need to have a good idea of what your measurements are and what you like -- even then you cant just go off the tag size. One western shirt may have a 47" chest in XXL and another may have closer to a 49" chest.

I will say though, even though I normally buy XXL's, in most cases I could probably get away with XL. I like to have a little bit of extra room -- and since I hope for these to be "Heirloom Pieces" I have a little bit of extra room for growth as I get older.

Best bet is to take a shirt you already have that you really like the fit of and measure it out.

You my friend, are the man. Just what I needed.

Never seen this site, but it is now on the list.

Man, I was on vacation when this dropped and missed it. Can’t find an XL anywhere. Maybe next year
