IHSH-48 - Smokey Flannel Work Shirts

[seanocono]

GMB, Self Edge has a few on their site.

Yeah there's one medium left in NY, but $290 is a bit much for me to spend on a shirt.  And if I could help someone take it off their hands that'd be best for them too, so I'm just going to wait a little…

[seanocono]

GMB, I know how that goes.  Best of luck.

Whose got their new smokey blue IHSH-48 on and is ready to go get drunk ring in the new year?  This guy!

Love the details on this, seam runoff and the W logo slipped in there - all with a great material.

So, I know the description says minimal to no shrink with a wash, but have people seen this to be true? I received a brand new shirt that fits quite well and a used one–same size-- that the previous owner made every attempt possible to shrink it and was apparently quite successful. (I'm going to assume he washed and dried the shirt on high a few times. Not hating, since he was up front about it and gave me a good deal.) For those of you who followed the protocol of using a gentle cold wash, has it maintained its shape and original dimensions?

I'm curious to know about shrinkage with the 48 as well.

yes!…

It will shrink a little, if you wash and dry it. Believe me, I had one.

[tigerpac]

Looks like no washes for me then!

why?
i´ve washed mine in the mashine with 30-40°C and everything turned out fine. no shrinkage no nothing…MikeC said "if you wash and dry it"…no need to put this in the dryer. hang dry is what i do!

[MikeC]

True, I said dry too.

[tigerpac]

that's I get for speed reading - thanks for the correction guys!

No drying saves quarters and shirts

Raf, you wear an XL in this shirt, right?

(I think I'm going to have to return my size Large as it pulls in the shoulders and chest.)

Edit: For the record, mine fits exactly like tigerpac's does, I just don't trust it will continue to fit that way over time, regardless of what the instructions say.

right!…

[grandmasterben]

Out of the several IH shirts I've had/have, this is my favorite. I think this is my favorite pattern along with the dark rider, too. If you can snag one somehow please do yourself a favor and go tts. Anyway, this shirt is the shit-especially for warmer weather! You guys like my shades?

[madmonday]

great fit. when i see people wearing this shirt it makes me smile.  need to wear mine more.

[grandmasterben]

Thanks monday. This is indeed a great shirt, I think that more people should talk about lighter IH stuff, they should get as much love as the heavyweights…

[Guest]

It's really light, though. Almost feels insubstantial. Don't get me wrong, I love the patterns…

[tigerpac]

The smokey really light?  I don't think it is… its not winter weight but can protect against a draft pretty well

[Finn666]

just putting this out there:

got a black XL…for trade (need a large) or for sale!

hit me up!
