IHW-01 (Melton Wool shirt)

cooler days are ahead

I think Lando's peer-pressured me into wanting to cop…Fuck you, you big bully.
There is more where that came from! Just say you are on the fence again and the bully will come back out.

Has this shirt softened up a lot for you guys with wear? I know this wool isn't as rough as the IHW02 but the 02 can be pretty itchy on the arms without a llong sleeve underneeath.
Not really softened for me, and a wee bit itchy without long sleeves. FABULOUS piece of schmatte
-
Not to scare anyone, but when I got this last year, I ordered a medium, and the sizing was closer to a small. I would suggest for people between sizes to go for the larger size.

well jb, i wouldn't say it's softened up, but it was really comfortable to begin with. i washed mine twice (at the end of each of the cold seasons) on delicate cycle & laid flat to dry & it seems to have held up very well. no lint balls or discoloration. the parts that are lined with that cotton have faded a little with wear, but you wouldn't notice unless you are really, really looking it over. the new ones have that satin like lining so it will be interesting to see how that part wears.
that cement/pigeon/gunmetal grey is going to sell so damn fast . . .
-
I would say they fit true to size. I can even wear my medium over a standard medium flannel.
Mine hasn't softened. It was never stiff like a denim jacket but it will never be soft like a flannel.
I always wear a shirt under it so I can't comment on itchiness.

i'm with you DrPat, the 1st edition was true to size & i wear mine (xxl) over various sized shirts.
with that said, thomasnunnally is 100% right. if between sizes (i would)size up to avoid heart break. by the time you return yours & expect your size to still be available it is likely to be gone. some iron heart items stick around for a little while, but these have always flown out the doors pretty quickly.

I went TTS on this one and I can wear it comfortably as a shirt and as an overshirt with lighter shirts underneath. It's a bit of a stretch to wear this with the 07 since it's pretty thick. But other than that I'm glad I went TTS rather than one size up.
And that grey XXL is MINE!
