IHSH-33-IND - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo

madmonday

good memory jaco. not sure he was happy with that fit. . .

No. This would be my first denim shirt with the IH brand.

I might just chance a medium, given that the P2P is no more than 21" and the shoulders no more than 17".

nameness

this is for a size medium, two pages back:

size medium, hottest wash i could do with medium agitation for about an hour. dried on medium heat for about 30 mins until damp and then hung up. lost a bit of color but nothing too bad. just a note that "pre" measurements were already after one hot soak in the tub.

pre
shoulder to shoulder - 17.5"
pit to pit - 21.75" total width laid flat
pit to pit - 20.5" seam to seam
pit to cuff - 22"
shoulder to cuff - 25.75"
length - 29.5"

post
shoulder to shoulder - 17"
pit to pit - 21.25" total width laid flat
pit to pit - 20" seam to seam
pit to cuff - 21.5"
shoulder to cuff - 24.5"
length - 28.25"

fits much better now.

Yes, I saw that post. Thank you, nameness. I'm not a fan of having to soak anything prior to wearing; I'd much rather wear it until it falls apart right from the get-go.

Sounds like the 33 is perfect for you then
Just use presoak measurements to guide your fit
And if you ever need to wash it
Just know it might shrink a little

I think I'll go with a medium, any way. You can't stretch sleeves…but if does turn out to be slightly bigger than I'd like, I can always resort to a soak.

Thanks for everything, guys.

the 33 is a beast. don't know if it's the black buttons or what, but it's a bad ass shirt

^it`s them buttons which make it look killah…

tmg

I recognise that what I'm about to ask may be considered sacrilege by some, however I will preface it by saying that I absolutely love my new 33 (been wearing it at every opportunity since it arrived a week ago)….....unfortunately the chainstitch run-off really bugs my wife, so is there a simple solution to cut it off and knot the ends so that it doesn't fray?

This is in a bid to maintain the happy truce where she doesn't question how much I spend on IH gear

madmonday

hahahahahahahaha

pretty sure you can snip them off & they will not damage the shirt at all, no need to knot or anything so labor intensive

good call on picking your battles

Giles

You can cut it off no probs, I used to and never bothered to knot it or anything and it was fine…..

tmg

Thanks, that pretty much confirmed what I thought.

had the same thing with the gf on my IHSH-35

solved the problem by grabbing the chainstitch run-off and just bend it to the inner of the shirt and sewed it on with one or two stitches…no big thing, no damage to the run-off and the shirt and done in a few seconds...
Cuz maybe there will come times where you can rock the shirt with the run-off showing and no one cares about it...

TinMan

on the sizing chart XXL shoulders say 21" is that correct? I thought Usually XXL is around 19.5 shoulder

Giles

You are right, sorry. Chart fixed. G

TinMan

Thanks G,

Horror, I just spilled wine on my less than a week old 33, can I throw it in the washing machine? I soaked it upon arrival to get rid of shrinkage, any special that I should do?

Seul

Red or white?..

Giles

Just soak and agitate

Max Power

pics? Oh man, I hope it goes out well. If I recall right, one can use salt to erase red wine. I'll check
