IHSH-33-IND - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo

[Giles]

Haraki is making them at the moment, I have a very few coming in over the next 2 weeks (the lat of current stock).  Then we'll have to wait for the run to be complete, before any more are available…

[Peter]

aight. ive already filled out the form, so hopefully a size small will be available when its salary time in one week! (at the very earliest..)

what does the waist on a Size large measure in this shirt

[Fab]

did you advice a pre-soak with this shirt?

[Megatron1505]

No need for a pre soak.

[Snowy]

^^ just wear it and love it

[Peter]

btw, if in between sizes - what size should one go for? dont own any ih shirts, just hoodies, tees and jackets. im a medium in my forum hoodie and small in the rest. some of my pieces in small are snug in the shoulder/pit area though, but the measurements of this shirt look fine. tts, or possibly suo? just lookin for some advice really

[Snowy]

Hi Peter, most of the IH t-shirts work well for me in small, but if anything are close @ the pits. For this shirt, I sized up to a Medium, and it fits perfectly. On what sounds like a similar experience wearing smalls, I'd say go Medium for sure.

@Peter,
here's me in this medium; http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=742.msg220843#msg220843

thanks so much! very helpful. and yes, that thing does fit you perfectly!

just measured a couple of my own shirts, on a size medium in this the arms are almost 2 cm longer than most of my own shirts and the length roughly 1 cm longer. shoulders were however almost 3 cm wider than the size medium in this. not a fan of long arms, but snug shoulders really suck.. but hey, it says slight shrinkage and its usually the arms and length that shrink the most

[Peter]

got nervous when i noticed there was only one left, just copped a medium. lets hope it fits, snowy..

[Snowy]

Good call! Every time I wear it I can't help but spend a few minutes looking at the construction/feeling it.

By the sounds of things, pretty sure it will fit. Looking forward to seeing the fit-pic, with or without a fridge on a slope =).

things ive learned:

1. trust snowy

….

yeah thats about it fits me very well, which a size small would not do.. arms are a tad bit long, but its fine!

[Snowy]

^ha, thanks mate. Glad it worked out well for you. Enjoy many happy times with this bad boy. Look forward to the eventual fit pic :).

@davito, I missed that before, was an impressive refrigerator, waves :).

[natehate]

still cant get the funk out of this shirt?
any ideas guys?
came to me smelling of damp dark moldy basement
one wash and its drastically improved but i dont really wanna give it another wash?
suggestions?
or just wash it again?

ps. got it on ebay not from papa g hence the funk

[Snowy]

Sounds like it got a few mould spores in it. Give it some serious sun time (3-4-5 days), then soak. Has worked on slightly mouldly things for me before.

[natehate]

i wonder if spray - 9 moldy killer would work and not destroy the shirt

[Seul]

How about just a second wash?.. And airdry…
