IHSH-22 Large check flannels

[Giles]

Shit, just couldn't wait.  Proper pix in natural light tomorrow.  This is an XL….

Thank you G! I love that color!!!

[Giles]

So do I.  This one was an after-thought of Haraki's.  The Blue and Green are endangered, this version is (as we say in England), as rare as rocking-horse shit.  Maybe 10 at most coming out of Japan…G

I have now decided on 2 of these…

Large (yes there is one hell of a wind out there today):

[Giles]

Extra Large - I feel much more comfortable in this than the L. ..G

[Giles]

And Extra Large in (what Haraki calls) the Pink.  Not the best background to show it off at it's best, but possibly my fave of the 3 colourways in the large chacks:

Thanks for these fit flicks G! And your comment about feeling much more comfortable makes me much more comfortable with my XL decision for both IHSH-22's. Now do I get the XL of the IHSH-23 and shrink it like the good Dr., or do I get the L and carefully soak it only when needed?

G would you be so kind as to post the fit picks of a L and an XL on the IHSH-23 so I can go to bed after I confirm my size?

I got the IHSH-22 in size Medium.  I found it to be slightly larger than most IH shirts, but not as large as the IHSH-23.  I gave it two warm soaks, one at 40deg and one at 60deg.  The shoulders shrunk from approximately 46.25 to 45.25, and the other dimensions comparably.  The amount of shrinkage was a bit less than the IHSH-23.  Post-soak, I would say the fit on this shirt most closely resembles the IHSH-18, but with each dimension approximately 0.5 to 1 cm larger.

The IHSH-22 is much shaggier than the IHSH-19 and IHSH-23.  It's thicker than the IHSH-19 and seems to have approximately the same thickness as the IHSH-23.  The nap becomes matted down after washing but wearing the shirt causes a quick return to its shaggy state.  Unlike the IHSH-18 and IHSH-19, the pocket flaps and cuffs are not lined with chino.  This is a detail I would have liked to see in the current release of shirts, but perhaps they are too thick for it.

The pattern is possibly my favorite from IH.  I was considering getting the pink IHSH-22 to balance out the number of blue shits I own but I liked the design of the blue one too much.

The blue is by far my favorite Drpat, thanks for the pics.
