@aboath how do you like it? How s the sizing, and warmth? I am thinking about getting the black one also.

such a long thread . Bought my first RW back in 2008, those were 8 inch 877s. I was struck at once with their quality and appearance, and smell ... did not have such a boot before. Since they were half size too large I kept them anyway but ordered another sage mocs, 8139. Since then, I became sort of obsessed (not really but ) with boots, and RW in particular, probably as they are one of the best bang for buck heritage boots. So I bought but can not really wear them all... kind like with IR shirts . I think I am at around 15 pairs of RW atm, maybe more, having less than 10 pairs in rotation. Still wear the 8139 from 2008, resoled them once, and planing to send them in for another in a couple of days too. One of my favourite pairs still.

Of course, after years of only RW I tried some other brands but RW is really good for the money. I got mocs, Iron Rangers, Harvesters, Chuckas, some rare oxfords I found in Asia ( Bangkok and Singapore usually have the best editions ) etc. I have to say that I recently found that their quality control is not that good ... my last few pairs I ordered online all had some kind of defect, I even decided not to buy online ever again, but the closest RW shop is more than a thousand miles from where I live, in Amsterdam or Berlin, and last time I was there they had just a few pairs in my size and I had all of them. I am tempted by the all black black harness leather mocs, the new model ... so who knows.

UES is another great brand. Got their T shirts, socks and a flannel. XL in Iron Heart is roughly 4 in UES. The fit is very good. I just love the fabric of the UES flannel, its unbrushed outside and somehow coarse and rugged but cosy and comfortable. On the inside it is brushed think once, and it wears so good, not leaving any of those lint balls or showing any wear on the inside... This pink I wore recently on the trip to Shenzen, and the grey T under is also UES, their supima T line ... very good and soft, yet robust T.

any restock expected? changes to design?

Nice thread, I am from Zadar, Croatia, used to have an appartment on the main street in Dubrovnik (Stradun), my grandparents, but that was long ago... haven t been in Dubrovnik in years... my favourite county for holidays has to be Thailand, I tend to go back there over and over again... its just so relaxed, and Dalmatia itself is quite relaxed. Any Croats here on forums, I dont think I ever saw Croat in the wild wearing IR, though I have a couple of friends into denim and boots.

Probably my favourite T Shirts. I got all the regular colors except for black (grey, a couple of whites, kaki, green and graphite). Also got their fox fiber one, but that one is much lighter. Dont have ani IR T shirts to compare but def much beefier than any other I own (rite stuff 9oz, UES supima etc. ) Washed multiple times, no shrinking, not much wear and tear visible. Overall bulit like a tank. There are 700g tripple heavy weight coming in a couple of days, but those are probably equivalent of a 25 oz jeans and not for everyone. Also they are double the price.

had to get their hoodie and sweater (french terry ) and they are absolutely amazing also.

forgot sizing... I am XL in IR shirts and XL in most japanese brands. L/XL in 3 sixteen... I got L in Wonder Loop everything and it fits right, like XL in IR.

top shirt ... took only three shirts on a 10 days trip, this one, grey military serge IHSH-235-GRY and UES flannel ... more than enough

any restocks soon? Need an XL

cant wait to start wearing mine. ... it is still well over 20 C here ...

I liked better the greyish collar fur on the previous version ( non oil ) ... decisions ...

That is fabulous ... you just sold me on one.

Any pics of how this will fade?

@EdH thanks, seems there is no that option on german site though ...

This one is beauty ... where is the option for pearl snaps and how much is that extra? Shipping to Cro is 45 Euro so I would rather order it from German site, but ... snaps?

@Bailey said in IHSH-235-GRY - 13oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Grey:

Updated sizing chart on Page 2.

Most noticeable differences on the whole is smaller through the chest/waist on this run (S-XXL).
XXXL and XXXXL sizing similar to previous run.

Does that mean that I ll better go for XXL . The only other western IH I got is 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Black in XL. o.O

I am a bit worried about 2 cm less room in chest.

my other IR work shirt is also XL.

Thank you guys for help.

@Cole:

Yes, @neph93 I went with the size L. It turned out to be the right choice, since I still got some room for layering.

@grzzi:

What measurements should I look for? If I want it slightly fitted, but to be able to wear hood or shirt underneath… Do I go for the numbers that my IR shirt fits me or larger and how much? I wear XL in shirts...

Those XL shirts, are they IH? If so I wear an L in these over XL shirts by Iron Heart. It is snug but works.

Yes, XL in IR shirt… and in most made in japan stuff, even XXLin some (UES).
