www.ironheart.co.uk/shirting/ihsh-132.htmlThis is a nice looking lighter weight shirt with some cool snaps but the western yoke is just too loud for my tastes with the contrast stitching. If this was in a work shirt it'd be sweet. Still a cool shirt though if you dig the westerns. Also cool that you have the option to upgrade your snaps on this one.

More like that price is too loud for my tastes lol. It looks really good though. |

The price is almost reasonable for IHUK, but obviously there's a lot less weight. I'd never go indigo, though, so for me I'd like to see other plain colours, like a natural or even that SC red that @untucked had a while back.

Kind of reminds me of another shirt I once ordered but never received.
I like it, good wear-in potential. I guess this would not be a Rakuten option?

Luv denim tuxes, western shirts, natural indigo, and organic cotton.  Oh don't bring up natural indigo and organic cotton right now......
I just received one of the few remaining pairs of TripleWork jeans last night. They are a 15 oz natural Indigo Hank dyed organic cotton jean in the 634 cut and the fabric is amazing. I wanted a light weight, light colored pair for summer and these fit the bill perfectly. The combination of the hank dyeing process and the natural indigo give these an awesome medium blue hue right out of the bag. I took a bit of a gamble on these because after a few emails back and forth with IHUK the crew they told me that after measuring the pair several times the waist came up an inch under spec at 32" instead of 33. I said send them anyways because all of the other measurements look damn near perfect.
So long story short I got them and although I can button them up it's just too damn tight for comfort in the waist...uggh...they are so perfect too everywhere else and the denim and color is just awesome. Unfortunately I am sending them back

ickes Won't they give about an inch after you wear them around the house for a week or so!

ickes Won't they give about an inch after you wear them around the house for a week or so! Possibly...well Matt @ Iron Heart told me I can easily get an inch of stretch out of them but I really need an inch and a half. These are not a typical 634 cut...they have a pretty low rise for a 634 cut so my actual waist/hip measurement where these sit on my body is 33.5". These Hank Dyed 634's are definitely more of a slim straight fit than most of the other heavier versions of the 634 cut. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not due to the fact that it's a much lighter fabric than most of their stuff. It's definitely a good thing though, they fit fantastic everywhere else and if they had the same measurements as my 21 oz 634s they would definitely not drape as well because it's only a 15oz fabric.
It's so close man...like I said, I can button them all the way up with no problems really. It's just not comfortable and I'm done with the "stretching the waist out" method...I like them comfortably snug out of the bag, these are uncomfortably snug.

If the waist is dipped in water it can be stretched a ton. I gave my mother my Gustin zimbs and she got probably a few inches of stretch out of them in the waist. A few as in 2 inches of stretch?? |

I agree. You have to feel comfortable in what you wear. Good luck. |
