Not my style. More XLs for you guys. Same. If something were going to break me, it would be an overdyed Western or an unskewed blue 129. I'm still thinking about getting the blue 129. the guys on the IHUK forum keep posting up their pictures of them wearing them and it's a damn good looking shirt. SE is the only place that has them left in my size though. |

I was on the fence with with the 155s, and thought I'd mull it over while I made some spaghetti sauce for tonight. After finishing up, I looked at them again, and noticed the little bit of green on the black shirt, and it won me over. Aspero-Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I also like that it's more dark grey than black, at least in the close up shots of the cloth. Looking forward to it! |

But when I straighten my phone back up, it's still awful. TWNB deserves better!  It really freaks me out that they sewed the pockets to the skew. Maybe I just need to buy a boat and set it to list to starboard. It's a boat shirt, yeah! |

Correct, that's who I bought it from. Actually, I can't remember seeing any others Japanese vendors that carry XXXLs. |

They still do. Stupid work I almost missed the chance at these. Ordered a XXL in the black. If it's a bit too big it'll be a jacket and get more wear anyway. If it's in line with the Japanese "make me think I'm a super-fat American" conspiracy, it should be just right. Down ten pounds since August and cutting out soda for the most part, though, so one day I may be able to fit into something from Kapital. |

also, kids. The 142 is a great shirt, and sitting around 170 on rodeo brothers.
The Blue 155 turned out even prettier than it looked in the early shots, hoping for a restock on that guy.

oh and ickes , please wax hyperbolic about the blue 155 when it arrives. I'd say take a picture of it, but it doesn't deserve that sort of slander.  |

I feel like it just does more harm than good and gives bentin and co. more fuel for their shit talking fire. I'm just not skilled in the art of photography...or my cell phone camera just sucks....and no I'm not buying a new fancy ass camera just so I can take better pictures of my clothes.... Screw you guys, I'm going home |

OK, I just pulled the trigger on the XXL 155 in black from Rodeo Bros. My first IH purchase. I'm kind of giddy. This is how it begins I suppose. Rodeo Bros was a super easy site to order from. check your inbox right now for an email from RB. Reply to it to confirm the order and they will ship it out to you as soon as you reply. Otherwise I think they wait like two days before they ship it or something. I just got my email a few hours ago. RB is great to deal with. Great customer service, you'll be happy with them and I hope you enjoy your first IH shirt. |

The sizing chart on the 155 seems weird. An XL would be 74 cm, which converts to a 29 inch pit to pit. That seems big, no? I wear XL in most brands and the pit to pit seems to be in the 23-25 inch range. The length also seems really short on an XL. 58 cm converts to 22 inches. I understand this shirt isn't tucked, but that's like 10 inches shorter than most of my shirts. Oh IH lords...explain!! Edit: Oh. It would seem the rodeo bros. site has the length and width reversed in the sizing guide. That makes more sense. So if I wear a G XL slim, I'd probably go for a XXL in this shirt, right? just saw this nate001. Not trying to make you sweat anything but I'm an XL slim in Gustin button down shirts and almost always an XL in IH shirts. All of my UHF's are XL except for one. However, I did not look at the fit guide on RB so maybe I'm screwing myself here. my last several purchases I have just been going with my known XL size and they have all been consistent. Just something to keep in mind if you get the XXL in and you feel it's a tad big. |

Replied to it and when I woke up I had shipping confirmation from Mihara. Crazy. I've had numerous domestic delivery experiences with more headaches. |

Just something to keep in mind if you get the XXL in and you feel it's a tad big. I think I'll be good with a XXL. My best fitting shirts are from Ratio (tbh the G XL slim might be a bit tight in the chest for me, but it gives me a chance to show off my rippling pecs  ). When you buy shirts from Ratio, they keep your measurements in your account profile so all the other shirts you buy from them are the same. I just brought up my Ratio account and matched measurements with the Rodeo Bros fit chart. For example, my Ratio shirt chest measurement is 23.5", which converts to almost exactly 60 cm, which is the "width" measurement for a XXL on Rodeo Bros. Even if its a tad big, I can probably get some shrink with a hot wash and/or dry, right? Also, is this 10 oz or 12 oz fabric? |

A Gustin XL slim doesn't quite fit me that snug and honestly were it not for the sleeve length on my UHF's this year I could probably get away with an XXL myself and use it more for layering and possibly shrink it up a bit. They will shrink up a bit on a hot wash/dry, yes. The UHF's are 12oz. |

I'm excited and embarrassed that I will have a flannel shirt that cost more than the entire outfit most of my coworkers wear. This aspero business better be all you guys crack it up to be. Regardless, I'll still be thinking of getting that blue 155 if it restocks. The crazy plaid is the first plaid I've gotten really excited about from iron heart, even though I know they've made a lot of great looking shirts. I really do like that 142, though. |
