IHSH-235-OLV - 13oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Olive

[theofficialhung]

I purchased one of these shirts secondhand, brand new with tags the black snaps version. How do I get the copper snaps upgrade?

[Jett129]

I think you would have to send it into IHUK,and,obviously,cover the shipping. Depending on where you are in the world,there may be other issues as well.

Interesting, thanks for the info! So just mail the shirt in to IHUK and pay postage to have it mailed back to me? Maybe one of the IH staff can confirm @Giles @Alex

[Jett129]

You might be able to arrange shipping and the proper way to fill out the customs forms through them as well. You’ll also have to pay for the snap upgrade.

Questions like this are better asked directly to shop@ironheart.co.uk.  But you'll need to pay shipping both ways and pay for the upgrade.  We'd prefer that you bought the shipping from us, so we can manage customs and duty (if you are outside of The UK).

I am wearing a medium in CPO over dyed (IHSH-293-OD) and it is a little tight in the shoulder and chest. This one seems to be smaller in the chest based on measurements. Should I go for a large in this?

@Zinc2162 Do you have a regular Iron Heart Shirt to compare to? In my experience, IH CPO shirts tend to be roughly one size larger than a regular IH shirt in the same tagged size, but that's not a hard and fast rule.

I find that the IHSH-23-OLV and the GRY and BLK tend to run a bit smaller and trim in the arms. I needed to upsize to an XXL in this shirt, but sometimes I can get away with an XL in some other Iron Heart shirts. I can typically wear an XL in a CPO if I'm using it like a shirt not a jacket.

In my opinion, if you're unsure, go up a size in the Serge. The XXL is perfect for me in the Military Serge. I think this is because the Serge material stretches less than denim and chambray fabrics, and can be less flexible in general. Does this make sense? I find other fabrics to be be more "forgiving"?

@Zinc2162 if it helps you. I wear a L in most UHF and less stiff shirts, and size M in the stiffer ones like denim shirts and the serge.

I do love my olive serge. Gonna have to pick up one of the brown ones next. Maybe when I’m a real boy with 20 posts I can get lucky in the marketplace.

[bluemantra]

Any idea when these will be restocked again?

[AdamJ]

@bluemantra We have just placed a production order with Japan. I would say 5-7 months

[bluemantra]

@AdamJ Thank you.

If washed in cold water does this shirt shrink any?

[AdamJ]

@bluemantra no shrink with a cold wash, no

@Eisenherz Hey love the upgraded buttons! I am very new to the customizing where did you get them??

[Eisenherz]

Hi @Steven8301.
You can pimp with Buttons while checkout.

@NorvilleRogers Nice evo! Wore mine today, still looks way too new.

[NorvilleRogers]

Thanks @tody … sometimes I wear it to bed!
Probably unhygienic, but it speeds up the evo.

Washing adds character for those. Just need to be strong and put it in the machine
