I'm thinking I'm just going to go XL on the blue. That's what my green is and although it has a bit more of a workshirt fit in that size, it still works. Orrrr.....I just get the 14oz OD type III. |

Right on. Truth is, I kinda figured this might happen since they only had 2 larges listed. I really do like the green 129 but figured i'd pass.
I say go for the od type 3. That jacket looks so cool

Well I decided to go with the type III overdye instead of a blue 129 XL. Already has been shipped out too it says.

Are the flannels as much of a relaxed fit as they look? They seem short too. For reference I've gotten an IHSH 07 and 134 in small and they fit well, but the IHSH 62 in medium was too wide in the body/arms. I can only justify one or two IH flannels and I'm aiming for the 180, 181 or 127 (purple) as they're the most unique styles. From my understanding the work shirt version is usually more relaxed than the western. I'm 6'3" and haven't had any problems with length but I'm buying either XXL or XXXL fwiw. I have the 07, 62ind (one of my most worn) and the purple and red 127s and have no complaints or major deviations on fit for any of them. |

I'd say they're somewhat fitted but not overbearingly tight |

To be safe, take a look at the measurements IH puts out with the run, and you really can't go wrong. At least the flannels that I have pretty much coincide with the stated measurements. |

178 landed and I'm smiling ear to ear. Large fits me perfect for a shacket. So glad I bit the bullet and didn't let it slip away. Sooo much more understated than the 141 and its contrast stitching. Pics to come, but my gf has the back porch photo shoot area tied up for the near future  |

When I went out last evening to throw the cover on my Harley, it had ash on it, probably from the fire burning up at Crystal Mt. They had to evacuate the ski area today, and put the residents at Greenwater on notice. Freakin crazy. |

It is crazy. My truck had a good dusting on it this am in Ballard.
I was just camping at Ranger creek a few weeks back having a fire with the blessing of the rangers. Never seen it this bad, this close to the Western poplations.

I think your question is kind of generalized. To be safe, take a look at the measurements IH puts out with the run, and you really can't go wrong. At least the flannels that I have pretty much coincide with the stated measurements. Main reason I asked is because the measurements on the flannels seem wider/shorter than other other shirts of similar sizes. For example the 127 that I was looking at has a chest size of 21.1 on small.. even larger than my 62 medium that doesn't fit. Although neither the 180 nor the 181 are out yet so I guess I should wait and see. @furu the short answer to your question is no, IH flannel shirts are not a wider shorter fit. The long answer is that IH has three basic styles/cuts for their shirts; Western, Work Shirt, and Half Western. Western shirts are intended to be a slimmer more tailored fit, Work Shirts are a boxier/roomier fit, and the half westerns are basically a western cut but without the front yoke. The fit generally has nothing to do with the fabric and is determined by the cut. If the flannel is a western cut it will be a slimmer more tailored fit than if the flannel is a work shirt. However, with that being said there are going to be slight variations from shirt to shirt which is why Iron Heart releases a fit guide for every single shirt they release. The 127's that you mention actually did sew up shorter in the sleeves and length than almost every other flannel they have released for some reason. Overall, if you want a slimmer more tailored fit then stick with the Westerns in any fabric. |

I'm not a saw tooth Western guy but the grey fabric/selvedge id on the new IH drop looks pretty cool.

Sucks too, cause that fabric--even in the iPhone pic--just sings!

It'd be cooler if it was more of an indigo warp and grey weft imo. The sample pics do look like more of a blue/grey.

Also not a sawtooth guy...it would be very hard to talk me into it no matter the fabric. Maybe someday though but I don't think so, as the standard western is bold enough for me. ickes really nailed it with his response, as well as davelewis@furu if you are particularly worried about a certain measurement, the guys at IHUK have always been more than willing to measure individual items to see if one comes up differently than the others. In my experience so far there have been semi-considerable differences here and there if you are particularly worried about a certain measurement so that may help you. I'm 6'3" and have several UHF westerns in XXXL and I wouldn't consider any of them too short for me - I hand wash cold and hang dry to maintain measurements also on most of my stuff or at most delicate on cold with no/low spin and hang dry. hope the flannels will work for you, they are an IH staple! |

I would like to see them put out a nice J pocket western, as when you nail that one, you have a very cool shirt. |

Thanks for the info, I've always been more into IH westerns than work shirts so that works out perfectly. All of their smalls have fit pretty well so far and I now realize I should have gotten the 62 is small as well. I'll just have to wait and see the 180/181 myself to determine if they come up short, and next time I visit japan I'll see if the 127 fits myself. Ive also been looking at their sweaters, I don't have any good ones and dont wear them much anymore but the turtleneck looks nice. The beauty of IH is the resale value. You can always sell your medium 62, recoop a good portion of the cost and buy a small. I just sold my used 107 for 225.00. Not too shabby. |

Not too shabby. +1 for sure - I've let the thought that "if this doesn't work out I can always sell it" help push me over the edge on many IH purchases. Nice sale too there ickes love a business transaction with two very happy parties I feel like certain items may actually almost increase in value or be worth retail or more over time...I would feel a little bad trying to sell something I had worn for more than it was new, but with the rarity of certain items, something that people sleep on, etc., it can make certain things reach an almost hallowed like status which I think will increase over time. It helps most of their stuff is built to wear for a lifetime. |

It helps most of their stuff is built to wear for a lifetime. I think assigning value to used IH goods can be tricky. If it's an extinct item that sold out quickly then it might retain a good chunk of its value, but an extant item may not. Fabric, colorway and condition all play a part in what i'm willing to pay. A gently used IH shirt in the $200 range sounds reasonable to me, and again, it depends on the type of shirt/fabric/rarity. Most sellers would not have trouble selling used IH gear, unless it's unreasonably priced or in horrible condition. When I see sellers on ebay trying to move stuff that hasn't sold in weeks/months then it's a pretty good sign that nobody is willing to pay their asking price, or they have something nobody wants. Yet, they keep relisting their stuff at the same price over and over again. |
