IHSH-25 - Short Sleeved Mechanics Shirts

[DrPat]

Shouldn't these be arriving in the UK about now?

[Giles]

Yes, could be today.  But you know as soon as they arrive I'll post.  G

[Giles]

They have just this second arrived…G

[DrPat]

Cool.  I want to rush you but would it be possible to do a quick measurement.  It would be nice to know if the dimensions on the IH Japan site are accurate and if the shirts are indeed running a size big.

[Giles]

Small:
Shoulders:17
P2P:21
Length: 27

OK?

[DrPat]

Thanks! This confirms that I need a small.

[Dchill]

I'm just curious what the M shoulder width is for comparison?

[Giles]

17.5  G

[Giles]

Just unpacked all these and I have all the non-printed ones that I ordered.  There was a note in the box saying that printed would here in a couple of week.

Now I'm thinkin' I'd be a M. :-\

[DrPat]

What's the chest on the M?  Something like 22 or 22.5?

I normally wear an XL, but can get away with the L in this shirt:

[DrPat]

This just arrived. (thanks for the quick ship Giles).

I have a medium in every IH shirt but got a small in this one.  The dimensions are similar to a standard medium (17 in shoulders and 42.5 in chest) but it's a bit tighter across the upper back, as judged by touching my toes.  It's also a bit shorter than my other IH shirts but I believe this is due mainly to it being a different style.

Unlike other IH shirts, there are small slits in the sides.  This causes a small skirt effect but it's not a problem.  Also, unlike other IH shirts there is no placket or chain stitching on the back of the placket area.  There is a top snap instead of a top button.  It has a metallic luster, most likely due to the 50/50 blend.

I'm giving it a 30deg soak now.  Hopefully it won't shrink too much.

Overall, the shirt fits me great and has a unique style.  I'm seriously considering getting a black one as well.
