EXACTLY! ^^^^^ Thanks for the pics DirtyDenim. Personally I don't think I will ever be able to take the IH plunge. I absolutely cannot be convinced that their products are actually worth the prices they are charging for it. The mark ups seem to be completely absurd. Keep in mind I have never seen an IH product in person, but this is just my two cents Remember when ickes said this. I also remember you saying you aren't spending any more money in 2014 and followed Ickes down that degenerative path haha.. |

I've washed and dried all 3 of mine several times. No shrinkage damn...that's hard for me to believe. Dunno, but my XL easily shrunk about one size. I was a bit nervous that I would shrink the henley too much but figured it would be okay since they stretch out pretty easily. Not even a mm of change from what I can tell. On a related note I really wanted to shrink up my Gustin Japan Black WS, put it in a tub of almost boiling water for 45 minutes (constantly adding boiled water throughout). Nothing. Maybe there's something in the water up here that stops cotton from shrinking?  |

If a Classic Medium Gustin WS is the fit I'm looking for, slimmer is okay but not as slim as TS's 38 Railroad shirt, which Iron Heart size should I look for? , I recommend checking the sizing specs for each individual IH workshirt you dig. I use IH UK/Giles site for measurements. You might be a medium in IH too? Shoulder & chest measurements are critical, no? Each IH shirt has its own build specs etc and, also, there can be wee margins/fluctuations in measurements of the same model. I used to contact Giles, or whoever answered, to plead for their "widest" 46' chest. lol (me,IH-XL. Have G trucker, also XL). They were cool w/ it. Also, some of their fabrics stretch/can be stretched more than others - maybe ask about this? Never tried it w/ shops at rak but they could probably sort it too. Good luck! I have a IH WS on the way from rakuten. I'm 5'11, 165 lbs, 40" chest and went with a Large based on measurements I found at both rakuten and IH UK. Hopefully it works out okay. I posted a pic of me wearing a large IH henley in this thread. It fits comfortably. Not 'Night at the Roxbury' tight. |

I was going to mention that to brentkuz several times but I figured I wouldn't be a douche so I didn't  ..but hey, now Brents started the mudslinging so all is fair . kidding Brent Well since you remember my posts so well Mr. Kuz, you might also remember that I said that after owning a few IH pieces I still believe they are overpriced at the IH UK and SE prices but at Rakuten prices they are justifiable. BTW, it looks like my assertation that IH products are marked up extremely high has proven to be correct after discovering Rakuten. |

So I just couldn't buy a IH Henley. Just to many buttons with a WS. So I'm off to buy The Real Mccoy thermal. It a $120 not sure if is worth it. But I know I'll get a lot of use out of it, so maybe it will.

DigDug you do know that IH also makes a regular crew neck thermal right? Just making sure, maybe see if you can find a crewneck on Rakuten.

Remember when ickes said this. I also remember you saying you aren't spending any more money in 2014 and followed Ickes down that degenerative path haha.. Wanted not to spend money for a little bit butttt that changed. Too many new things I wanted. But honestly I think my wardrobe is pretty set. 2012/2013 were learning and trial and error years. Bought stuff thinking I loved it or it fit well to learn it didn't fit or I didn't like it. Lots of trial and errors. Fortunately I was able to sell a lot to recoup money. 2014 was a huge building year. Realizing my style more and how I like to dress. Spent a lot. Honestly way too much than I should have but it was worth it. Opened my eyes to Japanese brands which was great for my wallet. Sold a lot of suits and am focusing on only a few good suits and blazers. 2015 wearing year. I honestly don't need more clothing or shoes or watches really. Sell a few more things. And wear stuff. Might sell a few Rolex watches as well maybe some dress shoes. |

I received my IHSH-92 and grey henley yesterday.
The 92 is awesome and the fit is dead-on. Compared to my Gustin WS this thing is on another level.
The grey henley is also a perfect fit. Funny enough, it is better than the black one I bought around a month ago (both Large).

damn, this Iron Heart's double denim IH-666SII looks just like the ultimate pair of denim trousers to me .... the price tag of USD 375 is way outside of what I would call a reasonable budget for a pair of casual trousers, but the temptation is definitely there ....

No shipping notice yet, but Laura had told me today my Montana was held up because they had run out of Tiger's Eye buttons, but physically had seem my chambray in line to be sewn. Production manager said should ship Thursday-Friday. You've got to be right there also with your order. Not getting excited till I get the shipping notice, as I've done this dance before. |
