Is the 888 the same cut as the 633 just with a higher rise? Want to kop the OD 633 but none in my size atm, and there’s the 21oz 888..
I have the same general problem. In my case 5'8" with 42" chest. Their XLs are sometimes tight on me and but like 2-3" too long in the body and sleeves. I don't understand why they make like 10 different cuts for bottoms but only one cut for tops.I like a lot of Ironheart shirts but their sizing makes no sense. I am 5'-11" tall, 220 pounds, not a bodybuilder, pretty normal. I wear an XL in most brands (sometimes XXL). I need at least 25.5" from pit to pit with 36" sleeves. In Ironheart sizing this puts me at XXXXL. The trouble is the sleeve length on this size is 39". Who wears a 50" chest with a 39" sleeve length? Also I hear the armholes are cut very tight. I am smitten with this shirt but scared about the sizing. Any experiences to share?
I thought about shortening the sleeves but it would require removing the cuffs and moving them up but there is the button on the sleeve portion. Also you wouldn't want to take it to some hack tailor so I'm sure the alteration would be expensive and the shirt is already $375.....I have the same general problem. In my case 5'8" with 42" chest.

Not isolated to IH, most high end denim brands seem to assume that if you have a chest over 40", you must be at least 6'2" and 36" arms.
I haven't had luck but if the body fits you maybe you can find a tailor to shorten the sleeves for you.
Yeah, I've had the same issues with the alterations. I took an IH denim western to a couple of places and they saw the heavy fabric, snaps, chainstitch, etc. and didn't want to touch it. I am sure it would not be cheap but denim specialist places might be able to do a good job with it. I live in a large city but it's hard to find places like that here so I kinda gave up.I thought about shortening the sleeves but it would require removing the cuffs and moving them up but there is the button on the sleeve portion.

The Ironheart rep explained that this is a Japanese brand and people are smaller there. Okay how many Japanese men have a 50" chest with 39" sleeve? I would guess not too many.
Too bad because if these shirts were sized to "traditional" measurements I would purchase at least five or more.
I ended up buying the blue plaid, we'll see how it works out.
