Working for the NFL at this weekends NFL London Game!

Out and about… needing to wear the newly acquired Dehen 1920 Shawl Sweater 2.0 from the Filthy auction. Thanks @Giles

And away I go!

Works Inc. I personally love it and I kind of wish the shirts had the ‘W’ instead of the Iron Heart tag on the pocket. I think that’s been discussed on another thread.

Waiting for a haircut….

I can’t wait to get my daughter her first IH shirt. That’s epic

I’ve just registered after taking a year off IH555N for me

I was just thinking today about the Red W on the IH jeans. I love this feature, but I am curious as to why it doesn't carry over to the shirts. In place of the pocket label that says Iron Heart, would a Red W not look equally as awesome as it does on the jeans?

I donated a custom tea-core stained wallet to the Filthy auction and it got me thinking about my next wallet purchase. I keep drooling over the IH wallets and made me think that maybe an IH wallet in tea-core.

These are my current wear... loving them so far. I gave them an initial soak in the tub and noticed the fabric didn't soak easy. I had to force them under water to soak. So that might answer questions on how breathable they are. They are very comfortable right out of the box! I think very slow to give up indigo.

So I managed to pick-up an XL from a forum member. I’m so used to buying winter coats for work and they are either too big or too small. So I’m probably questioning sizing because the jacket fits properly. I’m 6’1 and about 220. I’ve just had a chicken sandwich too. Here is a fit pic… just a t-shirt underneath. I tried with a 9oz flannel underneath and it was a bit more snug but by no means tight. Just want to see what people think. I think an XXL might be too big.

@denim-dawg that may be the most useful thing I’ve ever read on this forum. I’m going to stop by the show repair shop on way home and see what they can do.

Just bought from Rivet & Hide... now all it needs is an MOP snap upgrade!

Thanks. That tells me I’m probably at the top end of a good fit for this jacket. I’ve lost loads of weight in the last year and still going. So I know an XXL might be roomier now, but in a months time could be swimming on me. As it’s not a working jacket for me, I’m trying to view the fit as more style than what I’d normally need for work. Thanks for the feedback.

@Supersonic OG? You mean Original Goofball? I know what sizes work for me for my body shape. I am in XXXL right now because of my body shape. So while I have room in my chest measurements where an XXL would fit, my waist is probably still an XXXL in shirts.

I have one other UHF and gave it a 30 degree wash and let it air dry. Negligible shrinkage and I wouldn't risk much more as I'm tall and I hate when shirts are too short. As everyone says, measure your best fitting shirt or jeans and go from there. Not everything is always going to work out for you.
