IHSH-61 - Military Shirt - Olive and Khaki

[MikeC]

I hot washed but didn't hot dry and it fits much better than out of the bag.  I'll measure it and get the measurements up soon. Awesome shacket.

Alright folks, pay attention. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS SHIRT! Size up one as recommended. DO NOT got TTS. When mine first arrived I was not all that thrilled (too big and fabric was flat). However, after putting it into a hot wash and hot dryer (About 45 Minutes Each), the fabric has come alive. This has just leapt up into my top five IH shirts ever. Seriously. Fit flicks to come soon…

Ur right, mine drapes way better after the hot wash. Mine was hung dry though.

I might buy a khaki at this rate… Any chance of a heavier version for winter?? (Maybe camo... )

And now there's a part of me that wishes I hadn't asked. Oh well, plenty of time to save… (if it's possible).

It has been raining the past two days and is not letting up. I am taking the day off on Friday and it is supposed to be sunny so I will get them up Friday at the latest.

Black OD Camo…so smart. Nice vision, Lando.

Thanks. Yeah, personally I am sick of Camo and OD showing up EVERYWHERE. However, the combo of the two would be something else!

Thanks much for your kind service P. and G.

Sorry, but I need an explanation. If shoulders are 18", why on site they say 19.8" (almost 2 inch more)? And if XL are really 18", how will be S? maybe 15.7?

shoulders 17.5 are even too big for me, and if they go 16.5 or 16 after a wash, it will be OK. But what if they are not 17.5" ???

georgeel, I cannot speak for what the site says but only for my measurements. I have been measuring the same way for years. I will try to get some images of the shirt and tape measure for you later this evening. Cheers

Thank you, Lando, I am sure that your measurements are correct. I'm trying to extract a proportion to find out if I have to go for an S or an M.
