Iron Heart | Military Serge Western Shirt | Grey

Iron Heart and western shirts go hand in hand and yet until now I still hadn't even tried one on let alone own one. The IHSH-235 is Iron Heart's military serge western in a lovely subtle grey colour.
Here are my thoughts on my very first western shirt.

This channel is such an underrated gem.

Thanks so much!

[@blackfrancis82]

Love the western style, looks awesome on you man! The shoulder and back panel details are called yoking. Great vid! 👌

[@CameronO]

Cheers. Thanks for the info too! I knew you guys would know ha

[@sats_nak]

love the westerns!

[@michaelshearer3559]

I think the rationale is strong, and keeps me coming back. Once you witness the price per wear, quality, fit, and style you quickly realize it's well worth it. Love that color btw.

[@IlCaroSassone]

Western style is the best! Lovely shirt, mate!

[@chrisdunn9376]

Hello Cameron,I Think the design on the shoulder and back is called a yoke. Nice shirt.Iron Heart makes really great stuff. I also prefer the work shirt design.

[@HandballMr]

Great review, Cameron! I can only second you regarding the „cost per wear“. It only works out though if one really wears the pieces and doesn’t add new ones.. (note to myself: stop buying shirts) 😅 While I easily get 300 wear days out of my jeans, equaling to 1€/wear, I own only very few shirts with over 100 wear days, and 3€/wear is not cheap by any means 😬

[@andrewrigby6673]

Yes, I agree a great point. My Mrs says “you’re not wearing that again are you“ I take it, I love it more than her😁

[@orlog3343]

And don’t forget price per wear will be different based on what currency you use 😅

Welcome to the Iron Heart Western Shirt Club! :)

[@alexking484]

looks so good man! Love the Western on you bro

[@CameronO]

Cheers man. It does look a lot better fit than the works

[@WorldReserveCurrency]

Great review and nice color. Might have to add this piece.

[@siggeslug3009]

I think its called "yoke", western shirts have snap buttons as an practical breakaway feature, where snaps release if the shirt gets caught on a fence, saddle horn, etc, and the shirt fits you very good! :)

[@CameronO]

Thanks man. I didn't know that and makes total sense too!

[@bsousa3837]

Looks great. Biggest drawback on Westerns over Works shirts for me as well is the tighter arm pit hole.

[@StrickenBiged]

Likewise - I have larger arms and shoulders and i find westerns dig in

[@orlog3343]

The denim doesn’t stretch a little like a pair of jeans would? Maybe try a size up over the work shirts

[@bsousa3837]

@@orlog3343 I’ve never attempted to push a stretch in the pits as I do in the waist w a pair of denim (I also require extra aluminum in my deodorant… so, yeah, I need the room) I will say that w IH westerns, not all arm pit holes are created equal; the UHFs are much tighter in this area and do force me to size up -and yes, sometimes I am forced for the love of the snap. In this instance, the sleeves are usually an inch too long but can correct w an aggressive wash.

[@bsousa3837]

@@StrickenBiged I don’t think many people run into these issues. Our boy Cameron is one of the few to point this out; many often point to the boxier cut of the work shirt but do not elaborate from there. They are few and far apart, but some websites offer an arm hole measurement; Correlection (think I’m misspelling it, Aussie store) comes to mind, very helpful .

[@yoduff6897]

Amazing shirt, looks great on you bro!!

[@CameronO]

Thanks Randy. Hope you're good man!

[@StrickenBiged]

The Redwings also looking good with those crepe soles. 👍🏼

[@CameronO]

Thanks. They have really come together nice once they got a bit of dirt on them!

[@the.magnus]

What work you do Cam, I wish I could do casual Friday everyday 😀. Looks awesome on you

[@CameronO]

Hi mate, I work in advertising. So there is no real dress code, thankfully :)

[@DMorgan77]

Great review and it looks awesome on you. Don't worry what others think regarding the cost. Each can decide how much is "too much" to spend on any item.

[@CameronO]

Thanks mate. Appreciate it!

[@remicharlot3687]

Great one Cameron, it fits you very well 😉 just one thing to mention, beware, once you've tried snaps buttons, it's really hard to come back to "classics"...😅

[@CameronO]

I'm already dreading their next few releases. like the UHF's oh man!

[@pengqing8857]

look good man

[@jessesymons4335]

Nice looking shirt more of a workshirt guy myself. Funny how you mentioned the sleeve length issue I can relate. Luckily it's only with Iron Heart though

[@CameronO]

Thanks Jesse. Yeah just seems to be IH for me. Odd

[@alexdefaro]

Welcome to the western gang brother. I have the other three color of that shirt. My favorites on my collection.

[@CameronO]

Thanks Alex. Hope you are well mate!

[@andrewrigby6673]

I love it Cameron, I have the green one and absolutely love it, I can’t help feel a bit special when I wear it. How much that is to do with the price I’m not sure but thinking it’s a quality, you can just feel it. That green one looks great on you mate

[@CameronO]

Ahh nice. Has the green faded much?

[@andrewrigby6673]

@@CameronO To be honest I’ve not actually washed it yet. I’ve been keeping with Iron Heart recommendation of not washing it very regularly. I mainly wear it in the evening going out, so it’s a few hours here and a few hours there. I always tend to wear a thin T under it also. It will be interesting to see it after I have washed it,also wether the fabric softens, I’d imagine it will!

[@IlCaroSassone]

Also with Iron Heart Westerns they fit me perfectly in L. That said, if I wanted to layer I’d have to size up to an XL. My next one might be an XL so I have one I can wear as an overshirt. Otherwise, nothing underneath but a T-shirt.

[@CameronO]

Agree Caro. I would love to try an XL to see how it looks/feels. Good option for a different look i guess.

[@DanielSzilagyi]

I just got this in a black and went for a much more slim to body fit ( I got a small even though I'm about 6'3 and 170lbs) and while the sleeves are without a doubt too short it's fine since I don't like to have them down for these sorts of shirts. It is a thick but comfy shirt, and like jeans...needs to be broken in a bit ;)

[@tom43x34]

I love it. I wish there is a store nearby I can try it on.

[@StrickenBiged]

Their return policy is no quibble provided you’ve only worn the item for try on. So it only costs you the price of return shipping to try something on

[@tom43x34]

@@StrickenBiged Thanks for the tip. I am just not sure about the size. Don;t want to order different sizes all together.

[@StrickenBiged]

@@tom43x34 I understand, I have got it wrong in the past and had to faff about with returns and replacements. Best thing to do is measure your best fitting similar item and compare to their size charts. They will not ship without first emailing you to check sizing and give you the chance to ask questions about it though, and their staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about the products and sizing.

[@SummerlinW]

Thanks for the review. I went with brown although olive looked good. I think I might eventually get the whipcord western shirt in olive. I also did notice the arm holes were slightly higher than the normal western UHF. But the sleeve length did feel longer than my UHF. I love snap buttons but definitely did go with the kersey work shirt based on your review. I think for the kersey fabric the work shirt is definitely a more comfortable fit.

[@blueband8114]

Did you get the whipcord shirt, I have it in Black and love it. Its stiff, but a great feel. The fabric is virtually windproof.

[@SummerlinW]

Not yet. Got some more shirts from Ship John. Plus saw Iron Heart did a whipcord Indigo Type 3. My luck they would release a shirt in that color after I buy olive or black.

[@frankfrommenlopark]

Hey Cameron, love your video and have been following your for a while. Keep it up. For this shirt, I own both the olive in XL and black in XXL. The thing about it is I'm usually a xxl in the UHF and XL is normal. And despite that, even the XXL in black still somehow restrict my armpit. Like you, it bothers me quite a bit. But like you, these just look so fantastic. And as I own a few more of other westerns, they don't fit like this me 235 at all. You should really give the good old 33s or the wabash a try. Work shirts are awesome, but the westerns really makes you sexy :). They are brilliant.

[@CameronO]

Hey Frank, right on. I think you nailed it. It's opened my eyes to westerns now. It's not good for the wallet haha. The arm pit thing is something that I will get used to I think.

[@kdhershb]

I find their sizing interesting. I am 6’2 195 lbs. very athletic build. I have to go XXL in IH shirts.

[@CameronO]

Oh wow really. Is it the same with all of their shirts?

[@TheMunk79]

Wabash cpo❤

[@TechnoLawyer]

That’s a pretty slim fit for a size large on someone who is 6ft, 175lbs. Maybe I’m unfamiliar with their sizing. Shirt looks great though. Been thinking of buying some iron heart gear.

[@CameronO]

This one is a strange shirt. It is tighter than all my others I have. It's certainly only this shirt sizing

[@TechnoLawyer]

@@CameronO I need to find a good local place to try some of this stuff on. Really want to see how it feels. As my cheap stuff is breaking down, I want to replace it with quality.

[@Sanusani]

On the website of IH, this grey looks so dark on the photos, but on the light it’s totally different.

[@bashke3315]

Hi. I just got mine last night and it’s really amazing. Great stuff. However I find it really stiff and sturdy so my question is, does it get softer over time? Regards from Denmark

[@sf2explus184]

i would prefer the arms to be a bit more looser by a tad. overly slim sleeves creat the armpit problem. i have had that issue with a lee western shirt

[@JG-gz4uk]

Great content! For Spring/ Summer check out the 6oz Iron Heart Viyella Check Western Shirt - Black IHSH-318-BLK. Just got it. It’s an absolutely stunning light weight shirt with jeans!

[@CameronO]

Just had a look. It looks fresh! Though I promised myself no more check flannels for a while haha
