IHSH-25 - Short Sleeved Mechanics Shirts

[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.

Looks like a great fit DrPat, and thanks as ever for your scientific approach to sizing and summary.  What jeans are you waering there?  G

[DrPat]

Crate.  I plan to wear them to the end of the summer and then start on my IH-634S that I got in Japan last year.

DrPat… shirt fit looks spot on.  Length of the shirt is good as well.
My guess is that the fabric will soften up in time.
