IHSH-21-BLU - 10oz Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt - Blue
-
the above images are from my xxl ihsh 21, the below images are from my original, worn only by me
since she released & have been wearing faithfully since:
elbow wear
sleeve wear
wear on front placket
i only put text in the event the picture isn't clear as to what you might be looking at
pinned down collar
okay, now here are the details on wear. i do nothing crazy in the 21 and it shows by holding up very well to over two dozen washes (regular cold or warm depending on the ring around the collar & sleeves & how small or big of a load i need to wash). i' ve reinforced at least two buttons, but to be honest my belly helped to make them loosen so i'll take the hit on that. i hang dry & warm iron when she looks a little too wrinkled (i know most of you don't iron but i like the way it makes some shirts look).
thanks for looking

Good looking shirt mm. The original with the plastic backing on the buttons! Nice work on the collar, how did you manage to pin it down? I like the collar when they don't spread too wide and bend out of shape…..
-
thanks snowy.
omega, i just line up the collar where i want it to stay. the tricky part is getting the safety pins through just the backing of the shirt collar so you don't have silver hardware showing . . . been doing it so long now it's just one, two, three for me.
it does help that iron heart shirts are so beefy the constant pinning doesn't damage the shirt's fabric.

wow, epic, wish it was S

I was worried when I found out that these were sanforized now; based on an incomplete reading of this forum thread before purchase, I'd bought my first IH in XL hoping to STF.
Oh happy blue bag day, it's the OG.

Pretty sure Lando managed to get at least a full size worth of shrinkage out of his.
-
Yeah I saw that, thanks. I shrunk it a bit, but a boil soak is probably needed to finish the job. Otherwise you'll see an OG 21 listed for sale
-
Second boil soak, this time over an hour (first about a half hour). Kind of a full "vintage" fit and long arms still; not bad but I prefer a little more trim fit. Still loving the shirt though. P2P is 22.75, I think an inch wider than Lando's, which would be more ideal.
-
Does iron heart make a trimmer fitting shirt? Similar to The flat head.

Going by measurements, this is (the) one you should be looking at… But yeah: none will have as much taper as TFH...
-
Congrats. I love my 21. It was my gateway drug to more IH.
