riff looks good. What size did you go with?

[riffblaster general]

Medium.  I would have been fine with a large for layering, but this one fits pretty perfect.

[LandoCal126 0]

Good to know. Thanks riff. Appreciate your response.

[Seul]

Great look, Nate!..

[nietenhosen]

got mine yesterday.
alter schwede, what a heavy shirt, crazy. absolutly in love with it.
anyone out there who washed it already? any shrinkage?
thanks

[riffblaster general]

i washed mine.  no shrinkage that i noticed, but it did get "fuzzy" pretty quickly.

[J-IV]

Is that a good fuzzy or bad fuzzy? (serious question)

[riffblaster general]

i dont think its a bad fuzzy, but i wouldn't call it good either.  its an indifferent fuzzy.

Same here, 2X 30C washes no shrinkage but also got some fuzziness!

My next question is:  If it is fuzzy, would it pill :(?

[DrPat]

I have not noticed pilling on any IH flannels.

In general, cotton doesn't pill because the fibers are weak enough to break off.  Synthetics have much stronger fibers and can tangle to form pills.

[riffblaster general]

I will get some pictures when I get home. The fabric on these is very different from previous IH heavy flannels.

[elclintor]

you guys wash your shirts?  weak….

I agree, I'd never throw my babies in one of those torturous machines…only a gentle handwash<3
