IHSH-2203-BLK - 7.5oz Printed Loopwheel Crew Neck T-Shirt - Black
Iron Heart - 7.5oz Printed Loopwheel Crew Neck T-Shirt - Black
We've always loved Iron Heart's loopwheel tees, but we have to admit we've been waiting for a roomier cut like this for a while. The sleeves are a bit longer and the body a bit boxier. The name for this style is Tokyo Shitamachi Body, which roughly translates to Tokyo Old Style Body. What really drew us to this print is the Japanese print. We are a sucker for Japanese writing on a tee shirt. It lightens up the branding and makes this shirt more of a work of art than a "look at this branding" kind of deal.
- Made in Japan
- 7.5oz loopwheel cotton t-shirt
- Rubber printed custom Iron Heart print
- Knitted on old loopwheel machines
- Tube construction so no side seams
- One washed, so minimal or no shrinkage to be expected

Fit Notes: Ryan is wearing a size medium in the pictures. He's typically a small from other brands, but mediums always work well for him from Iron Heart. 99% of our returns are due to customers buying an item too small from Iron Heart. So if you have any concerns, size up one. Shop owner Tommy wears also wears a medium in this shirt. This style is built with a Tokyo Shitamachi Body, which roughly translates to Tokyo Old Style Body (i.e. these are boxier than their typical loop wheels). He is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
























Apparel
The last time we saw this flannel it was dyed with Kakishibu. We didn't think that could be topped, but you know how much we love mud. Amami Dorozome is an age-old process done on the island of Amami-Oshima in Japan. It's a blend of mud and vegetable oil that creates rich earth tones in a washed-out, well-worn pigment only achievable through this process. In a traditional cotton check pattern such as this, it shines its brightest. We didn't get our hands on this personally last time, but we aren't going to let this one slip through our fingers.

These guys keep one-upping the Sashiko game every year. We didn't get a chance to see these in person, but we're so glad we picked them up. They are so much better than we could've even imagined. At first sight, they look like a denim pant lined with a hickory stipe screen print. Then, we got close up and realized it was the vertical sashiko creating that line work. The hand-feel after the one-wash is beyond soft, but they're still packed with so much color you're still going to get those incredible highs and lows in the knees. The great part about sashiko is you get varied high points throughout the garment that catch wear in a different way. The inspiration for sashiko garments derives from the Japanese sashiko which never truly died. They would use pieces of the last garment to create the new, hand stitching throughout. Well, they've taken this concept and created a modern work of art. They've used a combination of No.6 warp and No.5 weft yarns on specially calibrated Jacquards looms. Their hope is to replicate the Sashiko stitchwork of the kimonos, and we'd say they've accomplished that pretty damn well.

The only thing that could've improved this serge western was a new color. This one was originally called Mocha Brown, which we think is very suitable. It's this rich color that suits this now iconic shirt. It used to be that we rarely saw green from Iron Heart, but now green is a staple. So, we've been super stoked to see khakis and browns rearing their pretty heads. You can't go wrong with the western cut, unless you don't size up, as it has some absolutely gorgeous details. We love the yokes and Permex buttons the most on these beauties.
