Thought I'd chime in here as well… I couldn't decide on release day so I bought both Olive and Grey (size L) and recently lucked in to the RMC version for a good price.  At this point I will only be keeping one of them so pretty soon I'd expect that a size L will be coming back to IHUK in one or both colors olive and grey...

Anyway, pics below for comparison purposes for those interested!  (and one bonus pic showing all 3 + the older OD version!).

Initial observations are that the IH version, as expected, is significantly more heavy duty and better put together which is not entirely surprising... some key differences between RMC and IH are:

• RMC version is lighter weight
• IH version has stitched in lining
      - RMC version, the hood can be laid flat against the back since the lining is not stitched in
      - IH version, hood must be rolled up in to neck because lining is stitched in
• IH version has hand warmer pockets and internal pocket
• Even though pics may not reflect it, RMC and IH olive color are very close in color with IH variant feeling slightly heavier weight

I really do love both the IH and RMC versions for different reasons but your opinions are certainly welcome!

How are you guys wearing this? with a t-shirt underneath or bare? I don't wear wool shirts much but I assume some of the scratchiness of the wool will relax over time?

@jordanscollected Thank you! Regarding sizing how would you say this compares to other IH shirts you wear? I'm normally XXL but the sizing on this shirt kind of looks like they run big and an XL would fit me...

Curious about how scratchy this wool would be and being wool I'm assuming this would shrink a ton if washed?

Anyone happen to have one of these they aren't wearing in size XXL?

@AdamJ:

@tangfj they are not the same moleskin, the SE collab version has a softer hand. I've tried both on and would say they're very similar in terms of size.

Great, thank you!

Anyone know how the sizing on this one compares to the selfedge variant?

Thinking of getting this shirt or the 1700 or 1301… I live in a warmer climate and am looking for something that can be worn 3-4 seasons... which long sleeve shirt would you all say is the lightest of the bunch?

And in terms of stretchiness of the fabric I'm assuming 1501 is less stretchy than the 1700, and 1700 is less stretchy than the 1301?

How's this one compare to the IHJ-104-BLK? Wondering if the sherpa lining makes it fit more snug?

I just got this shirt and in person it doesn't seem to be nearly as shiny as in the pictures… if this ages anything like the M65 I have then I know I will love it since my olive M65 has dulled and softened a lot...

Question on this sateen though for washing... am I correct in assuming that this will shrink more in length than width? The size XXL is great for me in the P2P and Waist but it would be nice to shrink the length a bit in the sleeves and body.

@Griffwald:

@tangfj are you Stateside? If so Ironshop Provisions still has an XL and XXL in stock.

Yes, I'm in the US… thanks for that! Now just gotta decide... size just right at XL or give a little more room with XXL and shrink to fit? Leaning towards XXL... as I get older and especially over the last year my usual XL's are a little more snug than they used to be...
