IHSH-21-BLU - 10oz Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt - Blue

[Simon]

@Simon:

I believe its a 7oz Chambray.

Pre-soak

Simon is a lucky man.  He lives about a mile from me.  So he came around yesterday and snagged am IHSH-21.  He soak tested it (well saved me the bother ;D) and got some quite serious shrinkage.  I will make sure that the pre and post soak sizings are up on the web page when I build it, but Haraki has gone and given us a nice raw piece to play with….

noooooooooo, i sized down to an xl on this because of the sizing on the other new shirts.  i hope it makes it around the beer cooler after a cold wash. . . .

very jealous of Simon 

[Simon]

This shirt is awesome, the detailing and construction are exquisite. I have other Japanese selvage chambrays but the IH blows them in to the dust! My wife tells me it makes me look slimmer too. 

[madmonday]

fit flicks, please.

funny coming from me, but it gives me an idea on if it will make it around the biblets or not.

The things I do for you Beats.  33x34 634S-B, XL IHSH-21 (pre soak), IHB-01 Black L:

Perhaps this already been asked but is it the same fabric as in the IHs-16 western? If not, what´s the difference?

[Giles]

IMPORTANT UPDATE - LOST IN TRANSLATION.

Haraki has just told me that the IHSH-21 fabric is 10oz, not 7oz as previously stated.

It is the same chambray we used for IHSH-09 and IHSH-13.

The IHSH-16 fabric is 11oz.

Sorry for the confusion.

Running shrink tests on an XL as I type

[Giles]

Shrink Testing.  Air drying (camera tripod is a bloody useful bit of kit) after a hot soak:

[Giles]

Simon has just popped around.  I think he has something to tell you….

Thank you G!!! 634S-B and IHSH-21 look phenomenal! Can't wait for the post soak fit flicks and measurements.

[Simon]

Giles, Forum members all; I'm sorry for (unintentionally) misleading you when I said this shirt shrank after a soak, I did genuinely measure it before and after and my results showed considerable shrinkage. I've just taken it in to Giles's where we measured it again and sized it up against a new shirt. There is near as dam it NO shrinkage. Trust Giles's quoted sizing when ordering, it is correct, and will stay so after washing. I shall now go sit in my corner of shame.

Simon, step out of the corner, I repeat, step out of the corner.

My bad for not doing the shrink tests before you came around yesterday.  I was not expecting that the waft of heavy chambray would make it a mile down the road and you would be round like a dog on heat before I got to do the soaking.

Ok I've come out of the corner to do some fit pics.

I LOVE this shirt
