IHD-01 - Special G Denim Version
-
imo it looks a tad too big, but when worn as an overshirt it sure does the trick…would chop 1-2" off in length though.
I definitely bought it to be used more as overshirt and there is some room when I wear it with a t-shirt. As far as length goes, a couple inches off the bottom would be nice (I have a short torso and long arms so I deal with this all the time) but I don't know anyone I trust locally to chop the bottom off. Also not sure how the pockets would look then either.

veloaudio, congrats on the purchase. Wise choice, you won't regret it. I would say to leave it as is. If an overshirt is what you wanted, then mission accomplished, sir. If the length is really bothering you, I know some forum members were able to get a slight amount of shrinkage with a scalding hot wash.

Thanks Sean. The shirt is amazing. I was thinking about a wash to try take and take some room out. I also know wunnaz did a soak to it already. Maybe a wash and then a short spin in the dryer?

Yes, Veloaudio. i already done a hot soak but didn't wash. shrinkage was about 0.5/0.8 inches in length. The fit on u is a lot more better than on me. length might b long a bit but the arm is just nice. i needed to fold about 2/3 inches to get that fit. Now, M size is just nice for me except tight a bit in waist area because of my tummy.:(

Here is the main post I was thinking of;
@Max:
I did a 95 degree wash and am quite satisfied with the outcome. The bodylength and shoulders shrank 2 cm, the chest 3cm, the arms 1 cm. I think the fit is now close to perfect, no?
(Excuse the 6 o clock out of bed look)
Remember, the Max Power way is the right way…
My only concern with the dryer is you could get some marbling, if you aren't careful. I would do a super hot wash, hang dry, and see how it turns out. If you don't receive the desired results, you could always wash and then dry it again.

I had this fabric before (TWHR01) and I hot washed and dried the shit out of those jeans. This fabric doesn't marble like heavier fabrics. This will help with the puckering/roping, which will give you some additional shrinkage. All twills shrink, I don't care if they are sanforized or not. Sanforizing does not get all the shrinkage out (1%-5%).

^^ Nice. So excited that the od is sitting in my stack patiently waiting for my MBB. It's definitely shirt/jacket weather here.

Washed and dried and I'd say mission accomplished. I was able to get about 0.5" shrinkage across the measurements:
Pre-Wash/Dry (Wunnaz measurements, in my excitement I forgot to take my own before washing)
P2P - 22.5"
Shoulder - 19"
Arm - 27"
Length(Back) - 31.9"Post Wash
P2P- 22"
Shoulder- 18.5"
Arm- 26.5"
Length(back)- 31.5"FYI, I used a High Efficiency front loader on a light soil cycle.

Here's my size L, traded in for my XL to Ragehaver. I'm super happy with the fit.

Received my Large OD today and the fit is much better in the shoulders and length. Definitely not going to be used as an overshirt now but that's fine with me.
