IHSH-27 - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt

[Clop]

Patiently waiting for it to dry in the pic! First iron heart shirt besides Ts, can't wait to wear this out over the years.  Will definitely be getting the next black denim shirt

Nice choice clop. Looks like a good fit.

[Clop]

Thanks, I'm thinking it's going to be perfect for walking my dog each morning and then try and get some serious wear in on the weekends. You folk with lots of IH shirts must toil away for hours trying to decide what to wear if other shirts are like this!

Oh well, now you got me. Pulled the trigger on that beauty. Has anybody seen "American Hardcore" and remembers, how Henry Rollins says "We were broooke" (about SST Records)? I feel like that, but in a good way.

[Max Power]

I went for an "L" this time, although my SH-08 is an "XL". But that one is rather loose and if my memory doesn't fool me, the 08 ran a bit smaller than the other denim shirts, so I sized down. Good or bad?

when i compare the measurements

SE-website
IHSH-08: XL
Chest 45.5
Vert.Length 28
Sleeve Length 27
Shoulders 19

IH-website
IHSH-27: L
Chest 44
Vert.Length 31
Sleeve Length 27
Shoulders 18.5

Even though it will shrink a little bit I think you should be good to go with youre ordered Large one!

[Max Power]

That's what I thought, too. Thanks for the comparison!! The SH 08 is so stiff, that a little room is desireable, but I wanted the Sh27 to fit slimmer, but not tight. We'll see if that will come true.

[Giles]

Just beware, the IHSH-27 is raw, so you will get some shrinkage…............

[Max Power]

Yeah, I know, but I think I've got so much room in the 08, that it's doable.

[jacoavlu]

I own the 08 and the 27 shirts and also bought my 27 a size smaller, love the fit of both.

Are there any washing standards with this shirt, by that I mean how long to go between washes? With jeans its easy to go months without a wash, but shirts seem to smell a lot sooner. I've worn mine for a about a week as much as I can and can't imagine wearing it in public after a couple of weeks without washing it.

[Jestre]

If it smells, wash it.  If its dirty, wash it.  It's a shirt. . . not a science experiment

Thanks. That's what I wanted to hear

[Finn666]

^same thoughts here…should be good to go with your large!
even if you can't fit a hoodie under it, but i guess you're cool with that

If it just smells stick it in the freezer, that'll kill the bacteria that's making it smell.
I've got a 27 and haven't washed it yet, just soaked it.
Gonna wait 6 months 'till I wash it.

Thanks, I'll do that. It just seemed that if I washed it every time it stunk, then I'd be washing it after every few wears in the summer and it might not fade well.

Sooo, I'm so happy to get my shirt today. Kudos and thanks to Giles for super fast shipping and for adding the fantastic stickers! The fitpics turned out sh*t, but they're good enough to hear your opinion. I love the (pre-soak) fit and would keep it…

But one thing's gotta be clear IHSH27 vs. IHSH 08 = Me vs. Denim Sailor, if you know what I mean... This ones much lighter and perfect for spring. Decent daylight pics will follow....

[Giles]

And a little taster of what is to come:

[madmonday]

that shirt is looking great G$.

[Max Power]

^^ beautiful. I love how the selvage peeks out. I take beatle's "Bam" as sign to keep that shirt, right?
