It's UHF season. We look forward to this time of year every season. We know each time a production is completed, we're going to be surprised by an even better product than we could imagine the moment we open the box. The details never fail. The construction never fails. But no matter how much we understand what's coming, the heavy yet fluffy nature of this fabric knocks us off our feet. It feels like chick fluff.
The Tartan fabrics always have a hold on us as some of our favorites of the season, and we just so happened to get this one first thing for FW23. It's a rich hue of blue we've yet to see from IH, and that's what we liked so much about it. The saturation is off the charts with this puppy. In a season full of muted colors and earth tones, this is that real pop you need to wake up your wardrobe. The secondary colors on this one blend really well and contrast without being too over the top. We were really surprised by just how gorgeous this fabric was when it arrived.

A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance.
Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a large in these pictures. He's typically a North American medium and a large in almost all shirts from Iron Heart. So we would say this one fits pretty spot on. If you're new to the world of Japanese wares, we always recommend sizing up once...but your best bet is comparing measurements to your favorite fitting garment. The Western runs about a half size smaller than the Work Shirt. Tommy is 5'10," 175lbs with a 40" chest.
