Quick question about the hickory stripe IH shirt. I've been wearing it nonstop since I ordered one almost a year ago. Haven't washed it yet, but it definitely needs a wash now.

It fits absolutely perfectly right now. How can I wash this without shrinking? It's a 100% cotton so I guess the dryer is out of the question? How much will a super hot soak and some soap shrink this thing?

Kiya, do you have any experience with shrinkage on the hickory stripe shirt? If it shrinks at all it will be too small. It fits absolutely perfectly right now.

If you love the shirt and don't want it to shrink at ALL don't take any chances, just dry clean it.

Thanks for the advice. Kind of a pain **********, but I guess that's what I'll have to do.


Anyone here have experience with washing the IH hickory stripe shirt? Any shrinkage?

They should make 40oz denim. Or better yet, they should make some shirts made out of wood, or steel wool. They should make fuckin armour shirts and pants, or concrete plated jackets. Next level. EPIC FADEZ

It's unreal.
I have one pair they gave me a few months ago, but it's a bit tight as is, and it hasn't even been soaked yet.

I need some black jeans... Part of me wants to buy Samurai or Flat Head for the fades, the other half wants to buy Iron Heart for the new 22oz denim (

) and so they stay dark... They are pretty much opposite sides of the spectrum, but both are so nice. I just can't decide.

If it makes any difference, besides the fact that they're so dark, the Iron Heart black jeans will also last about 4 times as long as Flat Head's or Samurai's.

Oh man. Which do I want to save up for this, or the rumored 24 oz. coming from Samurai.

A huge restock of Iron Heart jeans, shirts, and jackets just came in.
The 634s, 461, new 301s Slims, and 9301 Slim Blacks have all been restocked including a long awaited restock on their Indigo Riders Jacket and their Selvedge Type III jacket. We also got a small restock of their hickory stripe shirt and selvedge chambray shirt.

Iron Heart Heavy Ombre Shirts & Road Beast Windbreakers

Two new items in multiple colors from our favorite outlaws in Tokyo...

Iron Heart brings us some intense flannels once again in great colors for spring. Their take on an ombre fabric is interesting and looks great with a hint of a western accent and a cut that's turned into one of the most popular shirts we sell at the store.
Available in navy, purple, and brown.

Iron Heart have taken the classic windbreaker and modified the cut along with a few other areas to produce the ultimate spring/summer windbreaker. Lightweight yet warm, very well made, and an inner pocket to store an iPhone, cigarettes, or retractable shank.
Also comes with a hem tapering rope to tighten the lower section.
Iron Heart have produced the ultimate windbreaker for us, available in gray, black, and brown.

These shirts and jackets will not be restocked once gone, they've only produced one run for this year.

Both these new items along with a full restock of the 301s/9301 slim jeans, the 634s, and Heavy Chambray Shirts are now available in our online store:
