IHSH-61 - Military Shirt - Olive and Khaki

[crankyfart]

G, do this really shrinks alot? been struggling to decide on the sizing. to go with my usual medium or get the large?

mumbles to myself… i hate shirts that looks very loose cos they make you look like a girl wearing her bf's shirt

[Jordan23]

Expect non visible shrinkage mate. I sized to big in this.

sorry i don't get you mate. you size to big? what size do you mean big? or you meant too big?

so you recommend TTS?

[Jordan23]

Yes too big! I am usually XL and went with an XXL in this which is too big at all.

Volcano this is my soaked Medium with a slongsleeve henley under it. If i remember correctly i have tumble dried it to get max shrinkage out. it fits me quite fitted around armpits what I like. My usual size is small, could have gone small but i like the medium for me in the 61. i am 173cm 62kg small built

Check the table, probably you are good with a medium

PS: forget that ban man j/k

[crankyfart]

thanks guys. from the table, the medium looks good. but if they shrink more than 1.5" in the chest, they wouldn't work.

would they shrink that much? i'm so so tempted to get the medium khaki now. fingers ready to click checkout

[crankyfart]

btw davito mate, isit possible to have the measurements of yours? the post soak ones. that would surely help alot since i'm considering getting medium. many thanks mate!

[davito]

Ok although i am not really an expert will try to do it in the next few minutes

[crankyfart]

^ thanks mate. very much appreciated. and i believe your post soak measurements would help many others too.

[davito]

Here we go with chest and shoulders, approx measurements post-soaked tumble dried medium size

P2P 52-53cm
Shoulders ca. 45-46cm

Ok?

U should be fine when not tumble drying it imho what do u think?

so that's P2P 41" and Shoulders 17.7"? if the conversion is correct.

and if that's the case, medium is gonna be spot on! you just made my day davito mate! appreciate it. thank you so much! off to get the shirt now. khaki medium…..

Close-up of my chainstitch embroidered name tag on my IHSH-61. It was sewn onto a piece of the IH reverse cotton sateen (from IH-704).

Great customisation, Mike - like that a lot.  Glad this shirt getting some love, it deserves it.

[MikeC]

Thanks P.

[davito]

Great shirt and name tag sir

[Giles]

That's not "Sir", that's "Cook"…

[davito]

Sir, yes Sir. Cook Sir, i am down for 50.

Here are the measurements of my IHSH-61, XXL. It shrunk a full size. It has had 3 machine washes and 2 drys.
Chest-23.4
Hem-23.4
Shoulders-19.0
Sleeves-25.9
Length-29.0
These come raw, that's why it shrunk a full size. The fabric comes to life after a couple washes.

Thanks to jordan23 for the perfect trade!

Got my 61 today and loved it right away. Bad pictures but you get the idea. The shirt is XXL.
The fabric is great, it´s thick without being to rigid  - just very solid and made for years. the pockets are great as well.

And yep, I could not resist and picked up the double-special khaki as well. Don´t sleep on this, guys. Theres one more left!

[MikeC]

I'm wearing my 61 over my red 70. It's a surprisingly warm combo. It's 32F out.
