So…

ummmm... when are we dipping some white ones of these in indigo? That pocket would wear amazingly well.

If I remember, next time we do some, I'll do that….

IHPT-04 - V Neck Pocket T-Shirt Review:
This is my first Iron Heart t-shirt. It’s nothing like any other t-shirt I’ve ever owned. Generally speaking I severely dislike v-necks, but I really like this v-neck.

Fabric:
It is really the exact fabric I was hoping it would be: Very heavy and rugged, yet noticeably softer than even most of my Supima tees. Loopwheeled too! So no side-seems plus it's likely to get that awesome horizontal grain after some wear.

Stitching:
Thick poly stitching. I’ve had stitching go out on other extra long staple cotton shirts before because the fabric is better than the stitching, but this is not the case for this shirt: both fabric and stitching is super beefy.

Fit:
In one word: relaxed. Perhaps even a little too relaxed as it sticks out of the bottom of both a large IHSH-107 and a large IHSH-76… I hot washed this shirt and it has shrunk a bit since the pictures, but it's still a little baggy. It might be worth sizing down from regular IH size with this one… It's still 100% wearable as is though.

Overall it’s a nice shirt. So many different companies make t-shirts, but this one really succeeds on virtually every level. I love how Iron Heart can take something as simple as a plain grey t-shirt and make something truly great of it. The fabric, construction, and details work together well to make an exceptional shirt that I will be able to enjoy for many years to come.

Excellent review and detail shots, as always, 4c.

Very nice shots indeed, impressive. However, this must be one of the worst garments IH has produced. Looks like scrubs.. The ratio between the neck opening and sleeves is bananas.

[browniemcghee]

I also wish these could be made with a more trim body and much slimmer sleeves.  Beautiful details though.  I really wanted to buy these, but the sizing just didn't work for me.

There is a bit of shrinkage in these:

Looks good to me, nice buy!

[4c]

^ Thanks!
It feels like a pretty good relaxed fit post-wash. I'm sort of like the guy in the middle:

Think my next one will be a medium (sized down one from my large). I'll be sure to post pictures in this thread when I get it.

BTW it looks like a red one of these is planned for spring/summer!

[Max Power]

Great that there'll be a black one too

Medium  IHPT-04:

[cristeza]

The medium looks way better. Good job.

[4c]

thanks

Snaps aren't as good as those @4c took, but this is a sized down medium (with cuffed sleeves) on a chunky body.

Pleased with the result.

And the white one in M today (must remember the better lighting in the toilet at the other end of my building…).

[madmonday]

great fit on that tee.

man, you really look just like your old avatar . . . awkward silence

@madmonday:

great fit on that tee.

Cheers for that… getting the hang of this IH fit business

Haha… true, true! Cartoon-neph rocks, my 12 yr old bonus-son made it for me in some app. Although cartoon-neph is missing the grey hairs...
