For Fall/Winter ’22, we may have been a little overzealous in our UHF ordering, resulting in a surplus to demand. Instead of just leaving these shirts on the website to slowly sell through, we thought we’d try something a little more unique. Although we’ve overdyed flannel shirts before, this is the first time we’ve used a black sulphur dye - the same process used for our indigo overdyed black denim - on our UHF fabric.
Submerging the fully constructed shirt in black dye darkens and subdues the lively designs, creating a subtler variation without losing the essence of the original colour palette. Being a sulphur dye, the charred appearance will gradually lighten and patinate as the fabric ages, revealing more of the vibrant colours concealed within the weave.
Because this was a reactive fix, not a planned production, there are gaps in the size run where we sold out of some sizes before deciding to overdye them. Please note that the overdyeing process eliminates any potential shrinkage, which impacts the sizing of these shirts. We recommend consulting the measurement charts before placing an order, as you may need to size up from your usual UHF size.

All measurements are specific to this product. The best way to determine the size you need is to find a similar item that fits you well, then measure the same way we do (see “How We Measure” tab) and compare with the measurements in the chart below. Actual measurements for the same Iron Heart item/tag size can vary somewhat so if a specific dimension is important to you (for example arm length) please ask us to check this before we ship by adding a note to your order. Measurements for raw denim garments are pre-soak (allowance must be made for shrinkage).
