I agree that the UHFs are a bit too small. I'm just over six feet and weigh 170. I have three large UHF's, each of which is short in the arms and a tad short overall. The XL is too big for me.
My ideal IH Larges are the 07 and the 92 (hickory stripe and hairline duck.) Both fit perfectly. The large UHF's fit closer to a medium in the so-called large size.
Are the others Aspero cotton? I thought that yarn was specific to these.
Got mine today. The color is fantastic. Very unique. It works perfectly with my red-head completion. The cotton on this is remarkably soft. Giles' comments about it are dead true. It's noticeably softer and more subtle than my other two UHFs.
Very happy!
Drooling in anticipation of the arrival of mine on Wednesday. I have both the green and red buffalo check flannels and was looking for a good blue to add to the collection. The turquoise looks fantastic in all of the images posted.
Purple Ombré western must come live in my closet.
Too beautiful to resist. Ordered a large. The first Iron Heart of the year!
Same same. I'd jump at a solid UHF.
All western cut for me. I like the way the rotated yoke plays up the beauty of the patterns.
Yard attack w/Iron Heart head to toe today:
Check them fadez! 634S with exactly 90 days of actual all day wear and no soaks or washes. Hard to spot but they have a very distinct wallet fade, some nice combs beginning to come out and (not shown) really great whiskers. The only sign of actual wear is a spot on the left front pocket stitching where I clip my Benchmade knife. About three stitches have come un-done. No problem at all.
So sorry we missed you @Surf Monkey . We did have a ball of a time…..
Great! The Portland Self Edge crew is great. Glad you had fun!
Bummed that I missed you guys yesterday. I was all set to go when my lady came down with a migraine.
I have more (many) photos to post. But have to go and meet up with the guys (at a brewery).
Final note. I got stopped by the police (a lady officer) for doing 76 in a 55 zone today. I was asked why I did not pull over when when she lit the lights, I gave some rambling bollocks about that not what we do in UK. I got let off….....Nice
The measurements look excellent to me. I'm budgeting for a pair for sure.
Thanks! Sorry the 07 is so covered. I was highlighting the gloves. Just got them today. Geier. Same as the ones Tanner Goods sells.

I really like the look of this vest, maybe make one in something other than denim…
Agree. This vest pattern could be really cool with a different fabric outshell. The fact that it's denim is what holds me back, since I already have a denim vest.
Dang, I might have to consider selling my sg sweatshirt when that nonzip black one comes!
Is it western only G?
No one is laying a hand on my Strike Gold sweats, but I agree that adding an Iron Heart sweat is going to be required.
Looks fantastic! Dead on fit. I've got a couple of The Strike Gold's loopwheel sweats and they're amazing. The Flat Heads look almost exactly the same. I dug mine so much I ended up buying three more.
@TrickHell:
Not even an earthy brown? That wouldn't be too different from one of the SE crossovers they did.
Agree. I'd be against crazy saturated colors like red or yellow etc., but it does seem to me that a more subtle, (as you say) earthy brown would fit into the IH design aesthetic. Particularly if the dyeing medium was itself earthy and unusual in some unique way.
@TrickHell:
If I were going to request an "off" weft, it would probably be brown.
Have you seen N&F's coffee dyed lot? It's the warp in their case but it's an interesting idea. Maybe an indigo warp with a coffee dyed weft? Could be cool.
