@Seul:

Reminds me to start a thread in the trades section… 62 M for 55 M... PM me...

So have you decided to live with your 62 then? Because it looks great on you.

[Seul]

Nope. Gonna try and wash it again, hoping it'll shrink some more… Sleeves and body length need to be shorter.

[Finn666]

sleeve length = cuff!
total length = tuck!

or just wash it real real hot and put it in the dryer afterwards!…should do the trick

I just noticed how bright the stitching is on the 62 compared to the 55. Just thought I'd mention it

The IHSH-55 was brown overdyed to control the bleeding.  Haraki-san tinkered with the process and hence the brighter IHSH-62.  The IHSH-55 has a vintage look.

After a second soak (40C°)… Now fits like my 07!.. The sleeves need to settle and still are a bit too long, but because of the tight opening, they don't fall over my hands...

G, are you expecting a restock of these any time soon?

Thanks Furatto.  I saw G's post about possible changes in colors, etc.  Did not see that original post itself.  Like a tidal wave of gear..

Shortened exactly 1 inch. They were able to shorten it without touching my chainstitch runoff and triangle thingies… The girl in the shop showed me the shirt, I said it was ok, she then took a pair of scissors and wanted to cut off the runoffs!.. I placed my hand IN BETWEEN the scissors and almost frantically shouted NO KEEP 'M ON!.. 

Either way:

[Max Power]

Much better… perfect fit now.

[Giles]

Restocked….

Picked one of these up from SE last week… I love the shirt perfect fit after soak but have a question.

The chain stitch runoff on mine is more than slightly uneven. One side is nearly 7 inches long and the other  is just about 3... I might just be being picky but looks really odd to me when one hangs and has such a dominant presence aesthetically compared to the other. Is there anyway to trim this? I'm worried it will in ravel and I (for one) am a huge fan of the runoff

[Sugar Mountain]

Just hack away with scissors. I cut off the run-off on my 55 and nothing bad has happened.

[Giles]

Yep, cut it off, no harm will ensue

[tatmantall]

Alrighty appreciated fellas, just wanted to double check before I did something I would regret.

[Chris]

If you're really, really worried about it, you could put a small knot in the end of the runoff, just to be extra sure that it won't unravel.

And by the way- congratulations on picking up what is easily my favorite IH shirt.

i would like to see one of these really worn and washed.  does the indigo fade a good bit?  i think i liked the lighter color of the old wabash a little more, but this one looks great too.
