IHSH-08SBG - 16oz Super Black Fades to Grey Western Shirt

[deadendpro]

in my last life my name was George Washingmachine

I have used the following to successfully machine wash my 08.  I have no bathtub and hand washing is too much work.

1.  Turn the shirt inside-out.
2.  Make the shirt wet.
3.  Use a liquid vegetable soap (powder and flakes are more likely to leave residue.)
4.  Wash on the gentle cycle.
5.  Do not use the spin cycle (this is the most important).
6.  After washing, use a towel to soak up the extra water. 
7.  Lie it flat on a clothes rack to dry.

No, you're not. I kinda like the look, too. But I won't wash my old 08 in the machine, though

I chuck my SRs in the machine and let it spin all the time, but I'm afraid to wash my OG 08… Fades are one thing, but I want it to stay Steven Seagal black as much as possible.  It's going to have to go in the tub.

I think I might shortly put half my collection of shirts up for sale since all I want to do is wear this one.

I paired this with my SEXIH07BKIII today and I was walking stiff arm all the way to work today. Love this shirt.

This shirt reminds me of my welding shirts I used to have. They were stiff tightly wound canvas (wonder if anyone knows) so they didn't flap or get caught anywhere, were thick enough to be spark impermeable (you'd get burns but just tatter spots never all the way through) fit close at the waist. We tucked them in which sucked (safety–one guy never did and his tails were so stiff he actually bent them under)--I'm a broad 42 and got my IHSH-08 xxl, perhaps could have gone xl but I will wear over heavier t- and want freedom of movement. I do a lot of physical work (when i work--someone kick me in the butt).
Ones i wore years ago are gone--dont know the weight but they were heavier than the 12oz canvas welders they sell now, which are still made nice and stiff...today the good welding shirts are stiff but much lighter because now they have this flame retardant stuff built in.

Anyway, great shirt, takes me back and forward at the same time.

Pretty much the best fitting 08 I've ever seen… 

[ALEX1976]

Thanks my friend;)

[Max Power]

Yes, looks great. Although I think the sleeves are a tad too long for the "best fitting" status. My opinion exclusively.

[ALEX1976]

About the sleeves max…i think when coming crinkle on the sleeves and give a hot soak...than its perfect(er)
I need XL for my breast and spinal

[Omega Man]

Hey Alex1976, did you size up or is this your usual IH shirt size?  I think you are XL, just want to be sure.

[ALEX1976]

TTS
All my shirts are xl(ihsh 33,37,38)
But my ihsh27 is L(no hot soak or wash-only 2 time cold soak)

[Omega Man]

Thanks, looking good BTW.

[babyknight]

I think TTS is def the way to go on this one

Alex - shirt looks great. somehow really slim-ish in the body though! great job there IH-crew.
