My Iron Heart Shirt Collection: Ranked and Reviewed!

[@neilchippindale4951]

I'm on total agreement regarding the western shirts being the better shirt with Ironheart. I always go for UES if I'm after a workshirt. Great video, as always. Happy New Year and hope you're better after the COVID 👍

[@jamieward3574]

I'm exactly the same. UES fit is far more comfortable for me

[@VectorSearch]

Love me some IH shirts. Just picked up the 21oz Sashiko at my local Self Edge shop. Such a beautiful tank of a shirt. Can’t wait to start braking it in. Happy New Year!

[@bunnyyyyyy398]

Love this video. Gimme all the iron heart content.

[@StrickenBiged]

I replace the buttons on my IH work shirts because I also have the issue with the chest button popping open. It’s not a big job. 15mm buttons fit the holes just fine and don’t come undone.

[@shotgunsteve93]

I like the westerns much better from iron heart. Primarily because of their prices. Both the Western, and Work shirts are pretty similarly priced, but the Western's just have the extra yoke details, the better cut, and the nicer snaps. It's almost a no brainer if you're spending 300+ on a shirt.

[@rawright1972]

Awesome vid Cam. I also own both the 332 SAX and the summer flannel. And yes, the 332 SAX is amazing! It was my go to in a rainy visit to Seattle Washington. BUT, this summer flannel really shined for me in cool breezy spring nights on the beaches of LA. I would keep it and pair with a pair of chinos or lighter denim. Give it some thought.

[@CameronO]

I'm getting a lot of similar comments and it doesn't look too bad on the vid. I'll give it a good chance this year and see if it gets worn. cheers

[@Mitchvanschijndell]

Great content as always! Nice to see Michael mention you in one of his latest videos as well.

[@michaelshearer3559]

I was waiting for the big Holiday haul, lol. Cheers to a new year.

[@MRW2022]

I have the Kersey shirt in western cut. It's the first Iron Heart piece I've bought and definitely won't be the last!

[@joshuaholmes101]

Thanks for another great vid. You’ve been a big inspiration and I’ve ended up getting quite a few things you’ve reviewed and more! I think the thinner flannel looks pretty good on you personally, as do the others. I love heritage wear but the problem I have is that I increasingly lean towards iron heart ahead of other brands these days. Wardrobe monopoly!

[@CameronO]

Thanks for the comment! Glad it is helping as that's why I set out to creating these vids! and Iron Heart tend to do that haha they are just so good!

[@jasonkrasowski4673]

Great vid! And I agree that the buttons need to be bigger in the flannels. Like, sometimes they slip out of the button holes when they stretch a bit because they are so small vs the snaps that are strong and hearty. I also found that I’m a large in the work shirts and an XL in the western. Cheers mate!

[@CameronO]

Thanks Jason!

[@beagle101ful]

I agree with you on the 332 Sax! It was because of your video I bought one. Keep up the great work!

[@CameronO]

Such a great shirt!

[@mcgeoch81]

Appreciate the content. I’ve bought a couple of those off the back of your reviews in the past. Great to see them age and your experience over time. Would be good to see a similar video on other brands or items you have. Happy New Year.

[@CameronO]

Thanks for the comments. Will try to cover more over the course of the year!

[@MaximeToulliou]

Great video, enjoyed it! Would be good to see a video of how what you wear has changed since being a dad!

[@yasirnaimi6675]

I really like how the 9oz one looks on you and I wish they did all the work shirts with snaps too the ombre uhfs are my favourite Ih items beside the xhs denim and when i wear them together i feel like a bulletproof G63 wagon 😂

[@CameronO]

I won't lie, looking at it on video I kind of thought twice haha

[@PizzaHomie]

I wish they would make work shirts with the button snaps from the western shirts.

[@cheezybred]

Great video, Picked up some older uhf on sale and the 21oz sashiko work shirts this year. Will be in Japan next year and will definitely stock up on some denim and shirts without the western markup👌

[@kingstrumper531]

Is it that much cheaper in Japan? Wondering as its on the bucket list and could help with the justification if I am getting a discount on denim 😅

[@joshuaholmes101]

@@kingstrumper531you can pick up iron heart jeans for around £150 although yen is currently pretty low I think. But they don’t have all the cuts we have over here. Uhfs sell out very quickly there too

[@PyjamaMusic]

Great video as always ! I might have missed something but what happened to the black herringbone UHF ? Did you get rid of it ? Personnaly i own 3 shirt from IH, a 10oz Chambray, a Waffle shirt and the military serge one in light brown. I agree that the military serge one is really great, it's my favourite from the IH shirts i own

[@jamieward3574]

The military serge western is my favourite of your collection. Looks great I struggle with Ironheart shirts. I'm too broad shouldered. The two I have a Xl and XXl and neither have enough room in the shoulders The XXl I'm struggling to identify. It's black denim in a work cut but has snap. Inside it has orange stitching

[@stuntmanjohnny]

Well I’ll take the shirt. I wear a large in all IH tops. I have two of those shirts in your collection, cool to see someone else who shares my obsession.

[@CameronO]

Check the Iron Heart forum. Some really cool IH collectors in there!

[@nejikanbonsai]

Hello, I agree with you, the last shirt doesn't fit at all. I'm like you, I like heavy shirts, with substance, and a T-shirt underneath, it's perfect. I've noticed that all the Iron Heart shirts are of excellent quality. I've since stopped buying a lot of clothes and only buy one piece every now and then for my wardrobe and almost everything now comes from Iron Heart. Thanks for the great video.

[@Oomph6006]

I have 5 Iron Heart shirts 2 flannel, 2 Serge Western and 1 Dobby Cloth Workshirt Sashiko. The only one i regret is the Sashiko which I bought used... Absolutely love Iron Heart Western shirt..

[@88sstraight]

I used to have a lovely UHF work shirt (Return of the Purps!) but sold it on. What I discovered was that it was too hot for summer wear, evenings included, and not warm enough for winter. I live in a place that has about a 60°C range from summer to winter. Wool for the cold, and lighter weight cottons for the summers, which means I may be looking at those 9 ounce units…

[@joshuaholmes101]

Interesting. It’s around -5 Celsius here. I’ve been layering a thermal waffle knit under an uhf and have n1 deck jacket on top. Absolutely toasty . If I’m pretty active outside, like chopping up Xmas tree I can just wear the thermal and UHF

[@88sstraight]

@@joshuaholmes101 Though I don’t sweat much, I seem to very quickly build a skim of it when I’m wearing cotton. If it’s warm, no problem, but if it’s cool or cold I’ll quickly get chilled and stay that way. I kinda run cold anyway and need wool next to me in 3 out of 4 seasons.

[@ShiggityShwa86]

If you sell that Indigo Ombre, I'll buy it 🤩

[@mrchrisroden]

I think they’ve changed the buttons on the work shirts now due to the issue you flagged. I bought a shirt from Rivet and Hide and the button came loose and was off within a couple of weeks. They told me to sew it back on myself 😂

[@blueband8114]

The buttons on my 9oz flannel are very loose. Ive re stitched a few of them. When i first got it, it felt loose and not what i wanted. However, since ive washed it, its shrunk a bit and tightened up. It now feels much better. Currently i have 8 Iron Heart shirts, it kind of annoys me now as like others have said, i mainly ignore other brands now especially for shirts.

[@CameronO]

They just keep releasing great stuff. If they address the buttons for the work shirts i think they will be a no brainer every time.

[@hectordavid4201]

The light blue shirt is truly amazing! What is the color of your Deck Jacket ?

[@CameronO]

Deck Jacket is Black. Its a few seasons old. This year they did it in all black including the lining whereas mine isn't

[@StrokeofJeanius]

I have the tonal denim shirt IHSH33-T and a UHF myself and I love them both. I am a little taller and a bit lighter than you are and I really appreciate the extra sleeve length on most Iron Heart shirts! 🤣 guess it’s hard to be all things to all people. What’s your favorite of their cuts for denim jeans?

[@joshuaholmes101]

I’ve tried all the cuts and for me it’s 888. I get to wear them in my proper waist size and can just about squeeze my thighs in. Prefer the tapered look to the classic 634 which also fits my thighs. All other cuts I have to size up on waist because of thigh issue so have ended up ditching them

[@drewengles4477]

Thanks for sharing. Hope you're feeling better. Happy 2025 sir

[@SummerlinW]

It usually depends on the measurements and fabric for me. Black overdyed Denim and wabash i have in westerns. You can definitely see fading on the elbows and sleeves. I had a kersey in western but probably would have preferred a a workshirt because it got really warm being slightly trimmer than usual sizing. I do have a slubby flannel western. My other shirts are work shirts an UHF and an 9oz ombre flannel. Fading wise i like the Wabash best, texture wise i like the look of the alubby flannel and the ombre flannel comfort wise.

[@CameronO]

Hadn't thought of how warm it would be in the western. It's crazy how warm the shirt is.

[@sonitty]

Petty sure IH added another hole to the buttons on future releases. The boxy cut on the Iron Heart work shirts is not ideal, but a long wash on hot seems to help alot. Also, those work shirts look great on camera - i would try to find some buttons u like and swap them out. Don't think the difference is as drastic as you argue (between western and work) but agree the western's fit better. New buttons (or snaps even!) on the work shirts may do the trick.

[@CameronO]

I literally thought the same thing when i watched it all back that they don't look that bad. I guess it's me overthinking the fit or how it feels on me.

[@dazlarg]

Do you double denim very often then? And is it an ok look?

[@CameronO]

Not often, only really if they contrast like in the vid, super faded jeans with a new denim shirt

[@dazlarg]

@ gotcha

[@UnimportantAcc]

Interesting it's kersey yet cotton, I thought kersey was wool.

[@zatarawood3588]

how do they compare to ues flannels?

[@jamieward3574]

I have both. You can see where the additional expense goes on an Ironheart but the differences are marginal. Personally I find the fit much better for a work shirt on the UES. For reference I'm size 4 on UES and either Xl or XXl on Ironheart

[@zatarawood3588]

@@jamieward3574 hey, can I ask what size you usually wear in other brands? You are a 42 chest?

[@jamieward3574]

@zatarawood3588 hey mate. I'm a 42 inch chest and a 36 inch waist. My problem with ironheart sizes is never the chest or waist though, it's the shoulders. A tailor once told me I have the shoulders of someone with a 46 inch chest (I.e. I'm out of proportion). Ironheart are typically a little ungenerous in the shoulders compared to western brands. As a result for things with no give like shirts, I need to size up. The shirts I have I'm always an L in western sizes like RRL. The exception being Rogue Territory where I have to take XL. For none shirts like T shirts and sweaters, the shoulder thing is less of an issue so I'm L in western like Nigel Cabourn and Merz B and XL in Japanese like Ironheart and Studio D'Artisan. The only exception is Wonderlooper, which is japanese but has a western sizing so I wear L Hope that helps

[@zatarawood3588]

@@jamieward3574 Hey thanks for the detailed description. Thats really helpful as now I can kind of figure out how things would look on me) Japanese sizing is a fascinating art Lol ... I was wondering something else actually so might as well ask you while Im at it, I have bought a few things from UES, T shirts, flannels, in a size 3 (which makes sense as I would usually wear a size down from you). However Im struggling with their Pucara sweatshirts. I tried a 3 and its super tight, I can get it on but only just, and leaves little room for movement. I bought a 4, and its ok, but perhaps a little long in the body. Do you think thats the move to go for with these ... go up one size from the usual size you take with them?

[@katherinescott3535]

Nice vid

[@ricetwicemattdaddy9429]

Nice video of your IH shirts, but where is the ranking?

[@StrickenBiged]

A shame you’re a L as I’d take that 9oz summer flannel off your hands if you were an XL. Happy New Year Cameron!

[@daveg1766]

If you are selling the 9oz let me know ;)

Long time subscriber. If you're not a subscriber go ahead and click that button. You know you want to.

You speak the truth!! hah

[@mrlolmaster1019]

The do/ did offer work shirts but with poppers as opposed to buttons, i mean idk if western shirts would work well with me being British nbut you can always be crocodile dundee innit

Heavy weight or nothing. Even in the summer.
