IHSH-65 Chambray Selvedge Western Shirts (Blue/Grey)

[toddjcoley]

it wont shrink that much in the wash will it??

[Seul]

What's stopping you from trying?.. 

[toddjcoley]

well is it better to shrink it and still not fit then sell it or sell it unshrunk and get a small? going to gosport this weekend. 

[Seul]

Well you should see how the 65 fits after a wash, no?.. Maybe it doés fit and a size S would end up being too tight?..

[ohighyo]

Mine shrank a touch in the dryer. Keep it.  It'll fit good after a wash and dry

[toddjcoley]

wash and dry instructions/tips??

[ohighyo]

Just normal, inside out, cold water, low heat.

[Seul]

Toss in the washing machine with your other cotton stuff… 40C° and 1400 RPM = a-ok... You're not washing Bambi...

[toddjcoley]

cheers!

my L shrank  a bit after 90C wash
shoulders from 18,5 to 18
chest 22.8 to 22.3
waist 21 to 20.5
opening 22.5 to 22
length  30.5 to 29
arms 27 to 26

Wow, that's quite significant.  I would need to consider an XL…

[toddjcoley]

90c seems quite hot?

[ohighyo]

195F, shit you're lucky that's all it shrank. That's damn near boiling

[mclaincausey]

I've heard of a boil-soak, but a boil-wash is new to me.

[Oleg]

the shirt was to big for me and i doubt M would work for me after shrinking especially in arms.I believe Ohighyo sad that he's got 0.75 in arms,so i took a risk and it worked.what i can say about boiling wash?Well i did it to ihsh-33 and ih-634s-RAW seams all went just fine,but i think the same result could be achieved after washing at 60C

[toddjcoley]

in the wash now at 40c, if no dice will take it up to 60c

[mclaincausey]

I may have to do that with the 21 arriving today. I didn't realize they started sanforizing those.

[Oleg]

even after 90C wash fabric still soft
