      The good news: Man, this fabric really comes alive after a wash. Absolutely love the crisp feel and how it becomes just a tad more snug.

      The bad news: Two buttons did not survive.. I’m repeating myself but it would be such a blessing to have this fixed. Can’t believe I haven’t lost any of my Workshirt buttons yet.

      Anyways, repair done and after wash fit pics coming in tomorrow 😎

      Use it or lose it.

        @weftyarn the buttons didn't survive the wash?

              Well they did survive but the threads didn’t 😅

              @CosmoSix5 yes only one wash. Buttoned up and „inside out“ as always.

              Use it or lose it.

                @weftyarn fwiw I buttoned the top three buttons with no ill effects other than having to fight to unbutton the top one after the shirt was dry

                  I may be doing things wrong as I have never buttoned a shirt in the wash. I do flip them inside out though.

                    I also button and/or snap my shirts before washing. I haven’t lost any buttons yet but I have noticed that the button threads on work shirts seem less than “over engineered” to me since way back when I got my first one. I’m actually surprised I haven’t lost one yet.

                      @Matt we know eventually if clothes are loved and worn buttons will get loose. But this is a short span. Hoping my first wash goes well this week. Was silly and worked in my work shirt so it's prob going to need it.

                        Leaving your shirt buttoned in the wash is the issue, imo. Surprising that they were weak enough to pop off, though.

                          @sabergirl with the weight of the shirt I did wonder if I had made a mistake buttoning the shirt partially. Next wash I‘ll leave them unbuttoned

                                Next wash unbuttoned it is. Let’s see what that does 👍🏽 And now back to enjoying this beauty of a shirt.

                                Use it or lose it.

                                  A bit shorter now and more conformed to my body which is a big plus.

                                  Use it or lose it.

                                    We're supposed to wash it inside out. Buttoning it seems the only way that's possible

                                      I mean I just turn it inside out, like the sleeves, y’know? Never really give it much thought, personally.

                                        Sorry @weftyarn that this has happened. I have passed the feedback on but I would definitely not button your shirt up when washing it, as @sabergirl said, just inside out with the sleeves pulled through. I always unbutton every button on any shirt (not just IH) as a super vigorous washing machine can cause all sorts of stress on the buttons

                                          @AdamC no worries at all mate, will definitely go unbuttoned next time 🙂

                                          Still I think it’s worth thinking about how the work shirt button threads fail so easily when everything else on these pieces is made to never ever break no matter what you throw at it.

                                          Not just through washing but also through regular wear like it happened on my 307

                                          I mean this in the most positive way 😉

                                          Use it or lose it.
