wow fellas.... just received my IHSH-107 in black from SelfEdge today; www.selfedge.com/shirts?product_id=1292The XXL fits, I'm a happy camper, blessing in disguise my blue IH didn't work out cause I wouldn't have gone for this one. Effin bad ass shirt, quite ridiculous... will try to post pics tonight I love the black IHSH-107 the most and then the red color. Just need to find a relative that love me enough to buy me one. |

Alright here's some pics of the IHSH-107 in black. The shirt is immaculately constructed and is dead on to the Iron Heart fit guide. The shirt is beautiful but as much as I do llove it I'm still not certain they are worth 300 plus dollars. So fellas I want some honest feedback on the fit. The more I tried it on the more I began to think it's a touch too big...it's so freaking close though. It's not so big I felt I needed to return it immediately but for the price I paid I guess I'm expecting a dead on perfect fit. Maybe I'm over thinking it. I also know from reading the IH forums that you can get some significant shrinkage out of these. photos courtesy of potato cam; imgur.com/a/zKNf3 |

brentkuz; bang on to the UK fit guide, not the SE fit guide. No I didn't get the black Friday deal. They only had on XXL left and I didn't want to wait.

I don't think that's big on you plus it will shrink slightly over time.

Thanks brentkuz. I was kind of thinking the same. I'm not used to moving up a size on my clothes yet with my recent weight gains so it's throwing me off. These are great flannels Brent I think you'll love your red one. I would use my credit for a green or red one at SE if they had any left in my size. But yeah, these shirts seem to be bang on to the IH fit guide, I was pretty impressed. Very well made, no doubt about that. |

ickes - worth the money maybe not but they seem awesome. Should have both the 107 and 62 in my hands today. I told my girl I'm done buying shirts and jackets. Selling a good amount too. Off loaded a bunch of jackets on eBay. B3 bomber, burberry raincoat, RLPL leather jacket, few Ralph Lauren and other overcoats. Like $700 in jackets I sold. Whatever.

I also know from reading the IH forums that you can get some significant shrinkage out of these. photos courtesy of potato cam; imgur.com/a/zKNf3Fit looks good to me. Of course fit is a preference. Some like fitted others some room for layers etc. Shoulder seams line up with edge of shoulders, nice arm length, doesn't seem baggy anywhere. As mentioned if you wanted to tighten up you can wash, dry etc. I like the color. I have no flannel but if I did I would get your black color, the purple or this grey. Nothing against flannel as it is very warm but most all is in patterns and I like the solids. Grew up with wearing patterned flannels and now you can't go anywhere without seeing flannel and a beard in Minneapolis. I am used to seeing in the rural areas, where people are working in the woods logging, working and doing other outdoor activities. Not knocking it at all but it is very interesting how trends go. Neil Young wears flannel and of course the grunge movement loved flannel. So it is cool by me.  |

Love that shirt above, but the sleeves are way too short IMO. That might be trendy, but not for me. Spent my life with sleeves too short, so I have a thing about that...

I'd say its fits pretty spot on, but the pic does look like the sleeves are riding up a bit because of the folds in the arms. Does come down to preference though. Cool shirt!

Not into the short sleeve thing either. When looking at the grey pic it actually looks like there is some bunching up in the elbow area, as if they pushed the shirt up for the short sleeve look. Maybe to show off the watch or maybe some think wrists are sexy and people want to show them off.

Looks the biz - great fit; it'll tighten up a little, as you said - but not too much needed. Great shirt & great fit!! (Think the model pic w/ the "short" sleeves is actually showing the sleeves are a little long for the model & they've just pulled the sleeves up; there's a bunch of fabric gathered up at the elbow. None of my IH shirts have short sleeves.) |

My gf is going to the post office to get my IHSH-62 in indigo today. Can't wait to check it out tonight. Pretty fast shipping for half way around the world. Japan to the north east. Plus add the holiday. Can't wait to check it out. Not sure if I am going to love wabash but we shall see. If not up for sale it goes. Brent, I'll be very surprised if you don't dig #62. Just remember it may feel/look a little theatrical/"costumey" at first and also it gives the initial impression of being constructed for a mountain man. But, of course, it'll soften and fade and then it'll look KILLER!! Anyhow, I love mine - good luck, brah! |

brentkuz, @winterland, unnamed, highlights thanks for all of your input. I think I'm going to roll with it based on your feedback. Should shrink up a bit as well as we all have stated. unnamed, looks like yours shrank a decent amount, definitely noticeable. You did a hot machine wash and hot dry? Thanks again guys!

I think it is slightly big but as others said, a wash and dry should make it perfect. Nice color... killer shirt. |

All my IH stuff shrunk a ton. This has been documented but my one wash denim shirt shrunk from an XL to a MEDIUM. Not sure how that could happen but it did. My denim jeans also dropped a few sizes as if STF

All my IH stuff shrunk a ton. This has been documented but my one wash denim shirt shrunk from an XL to a MEDIUM. Not sure how that could happen but it did. My denim jeans also dropped a few sizes as if STF The sizing issue is critical...I mean, I ONLY wash my jeans & workshirts in COLD water. After several cold washes the shrinkage potential is no longer there. Hot washes not only shrink cotton but, of course, they suck out the dye - which is fine if you dig washer fades - but then why opt for raw denim? Think that a necessary one-off hot wash & dry to initially shrink a slightly large garment is fine but, of course, gotta be careful 'cos you're dealing w/ high-ticket goods. I feel that some online stores are quite cavalier in not guiding customers through to finding the best fit...guess that they either feel that they are just too hip or they're just lazy/irresponsible. A happy customer is often a repeat/return customer, no? I personally NEVER return to any crew/shop/brand etc. that doesn't support my need to get the sizing RIGHT. (This may seem like opening an old & inflamed issue - so, I'm not gonna go THERE.) But, basically, it's gotta be buy 'em, get 'em, wear 'em - this is, after all, denim & workwear (albeit evolved & delivered at premium quality). I also appreciate, being of my vintage, that there's a certain generational divide re. non-washing of raw denim (ya want sick fades, cuz??)...me? I choose a middle road; I wash far less than I used to/I aim for 'unwell' fades.  Impossible for me to not wash jeans that are actually damn dirty. Alice Cooper claims that you could smell Jim Doors b4 you could see him (stinky leather trousers) - obviously, I'm not in the same badness league as Jim. lol. I see this issue being raised time & again. Sh*t yeah, sizing's a real biggy, imo. |

Both the 102 and 62 are fit perfect for me. Looks like no washing for me. Ice bath soak if anything. I gotta get imgur to post it up

Put up a pair of 555-01 in the WTS threads. I wish I didn't have to they are so nice but the rise is just too much for me.

@bclak, I am assuming that you are saying the rise is too high on the IH jeans you are selling? I always thought that the rises looked very high on all IH jeans when I look at the size chart. I have talked to people who own them and none have said that the rise being high is an issue but I wasn't sure if people just weren't being honest with themselves because of the price they paid for the jeans, or if the rise just really isn't that bad.

Yeah it's too high but I have no ass and a short torso. Also I replied to you in the other thread. |

Iron Heart jeans do tend to me more of a straight cut and not low rise. I am sure it has to do with you won't see many bikers wearing skinny jeans with their ass partly exposed. They do have a couple cuts with a mid and close to low rise. They have so many different cuts and denim weights that you really have to look at each specific one. Also different runs of them can change the sizing as they tweak the design or have a fabric react in a way not planned. My IH jeans, SExIH-07 which were a limited run are a mid rise for sure. They are about the lowest I would want to go in the rise. They are just right though. They are the same as Gustin slim in the rise but have more room in thighs, knee and larger cuff. |

I do want some IH jeans now. Just one pair of 21-25oz straight cut.
The XL 62-indigo fits more slim than the XL 107 or large 102 and is going to shrink more which makes me a bit worried. Funny how different fabrics works. Def def def pay attention to the iron heart uk site for sizing.
Funny I noticed the forearms of the iron heart shirts are pretty slim.
