[rwli7787]

hey guys looking for some advice here.

my favourite shirt measures:
shoulders: 16in
length: 26.5in
chest: 20.5in
arm: 24.5in

this shirt is fitted, not too tight and not too loose.  i'm stuck between a XS and a S. what size do you guys think i should be getting?

thanks giles!

Thanks for the workout advice TinMan.  I actually need to do the opposite.  I'm doing mad cardio and body weight exercises now.  I need to bulk up.  My best friend just moved into a place w/ a 24 hr gym.  So we have high hopes for that.  As for the shirt.  I AM AMAZED.  I have the 16ss and the 01od to compare it to.  This shirt seems lighter weight than the 16ss.  The 33 is just so damn soft and comfortable that its like luxurious work shirt. Giles… gotta hand it to you.  Your company converted me from every other denim manufacturer.  Keep doing what you're doing.  I'll post fit pics tomorrow!

There will be a tiny bit, but it has had a hot soak already….....

Good to hear. Quick question: how are the sleeve openings on the 16 s/s?.. Wide?..

Hello, it's my my first post and my first IH item. The shirt is amazing and I love the quality, i think i'm already hooked.
I don't know if I should soak it? I feel that it's a bit too wide in the chest area but the length of the sleeve and the length of the shirt is good. Here's the fit picks. It's a size L.

What should I do? Hot soak, Lukewarm soak, cold soak, no soak?

Thanks

Welcome

Already shrank, soak will make minimal difference. Fit looks good from here but you gotta be happy with it. If its not what you want exchange for a size smaller.

I think you'd be ok going a size smaller.. I wear L in most IH shirts, and could still fit a medium in this model..

Hey Suel.  They are a bit wide.  I got an XL for the size.  The shoulders and body fit me great, but the sleeves are actually a bit long and wide.  I cuffed my sleeves on that shirt actually, I'm not sure if that's kosher w/ anything, but I did it anyway.  I'm more into the roomier fits for my IH shirts.

Fadez: thank you!.. I will cuff 'm as well… I wonder if a tailor could make the sleeve opening smaller... Of to the 'Random questions thread' it is!..

Hey everyone.  After learning how to use the internet a little better, here's a vid of the 33 in action.  Hope you enjoy.

Give is a hot soak, you'll eke a little more shrinkage out of it….G

[T.O.BestWR]

Decided to stick with the L. I gave it a lukewarm soak (40/ 45 celcius). I love the shirt and can't wait to see the evo on it.

Post soak fit:

Measurement (Pre-soak/ Post):

Chest: 21,5 / 21
Arm: 26/ 26
Shoulder: 18 /18
Lenght: 30/ 29,8

It's kinda odd that only the chest really shrank but it's what i wanted so it's perfect

Hey everyone:

Looking for advice on how everyone spot cleans their shirt.  I had a little incident with BBQ sauce today and just looking to see what methods y'all use.  Thanks!

[Giles]

I just rub gently with a damp cloth….

[madmonday]

depends on location & how big the stain is.  just leave it & it will dry up & then it will just all (mostly) kind of peel right off the denim, but i am an animal & a slob so i don't expect you to do that 

[ChuckDenim]

coming along slowly, 1soak, no wash

Concret - have you washed the shirt regularly? It looks so light compared with others'. Could be the bright sunlight though but great either way.
