IHSH-64 - Extra Heavy Jersey Western Sweat Shirt

[T4920]

No way! Just managed to snag a black one on eBay for £125

Lucky you! I actually don't know what the biggest issue is. I suspect it was ability to weave the fabric, but sometimes you just have to know when to stop pushing, and this was one of those

[T4920]

@Alex Fair enough, so it's different to the fabric used for the 14oz sweats?

[Alex]

That's my understanding, but the 64 is well before my time

[sabergirl]

64 fleece is definitely different! I think it feels heavier, but it’s also unbrushed on the inside, so feels more like a French terry fleece on steroids.

This shirt is a top contender for my favorite Iron Heart shirt of all time.

@sabergirl awesome! Thanks for the info, can't wait to receive this.. Got an XL but according to listed measurements, it's more in line with my usual large

[sabergirl]

You’re going to love it! I think it’s starting to be cool enough to bust mine out.

@T4920 I was eyeing that one on eBay too. Congrats man

[T4920]

@doubletee I pulled the trigger within a minute of seeing it. After discovering this shirt yesterday, and finding out it was permanently extinct, it was a no brainer!

[doubletee]

Be keen you know what you think

[Matt]

@T4920 I have the grey and it definitely runs large. Feels more like a cpo fit. I’m not sure if the other colors fit differently or if hot washing/drying produces any shrinkage. @sabergirl surely could contribute.

[T4920]

@Matt I'll just sell it on to @doubletee if it turns out to be too big

[doubletee]

I can't deny this won't happen

[Matt]

Make it work Tom. It’s worth it.

[T4920]

@Matt I feel like it's previous owner has already shrunk it a bit through washing, shoulder measured 18 inches straight across and the chest came out around 22.. pretty much what I look for in my Ls when I buy direct, so I reckon it'll be fine

[sabergirl]

I have medium black and a large indigo. I prefer the fit on the medium for sleeve and body length. I got both of these used, so I’m not sure how much shrinkage they had, but I always wash hot and tumble dry to no noticeable effect.

[T4920]

Sleeves are a little long, but that aside the fit is perfect! @sabergirl I can see why this is your favourite shirt, I've had it on for 5 minutes and I'm already worrying that all of my other shirts are going to get neglected over the winter period..

Sounds silly, but the mere fact that this shirt exists makes me happy, only with IH ...

[Alex]

Sleeves will stack a bit too, mate. I think you’re golden

[Matt]

Agreed. Here’s mine in the closet. Guess which one…

[Matt]

@T4920 seriously though dude, that’s a fucking score and a half. Don’t ever let it go.
