Okay, so I know that these are one-washed – and are expected to have minimal, if any, shrinkage -- but has anyone tried to shrink one down a tad?

I picked up two 82s (http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4986.msg270887#msg270887) and they are ~.5 inch too big through the chest.  I am floored by this fabric, though, and don't want to send them back.  Pictures DO NOT do the Westpoint Cotton justice.  I can't believe these went on sale.  The only reason I can justify is sizing confusion because this fabric is sic!

Anyway, has anyone tried shrinking these down at all?  I'm thinking a hot wash may get me where I need to be, but I'm reluctant to throw them in the machine if it just isn't possible (warping graphics worries me, also).  Thank you in advance, my fellow IH fanatics.

I've had minimal shrinkage with mine but I generally don't hot wash.  MikeC might be able to chime in here as I think he got quite a bit of shrinkage with his.

Thank you, Q. I read through this entire thread and somehow missed MikeC's comment until you pointed it out.

Upon closer inspection, I have zero concerns about the graphics warping. I will probably try a hot wash on one when I get home from work tonight.

I'm pretty jealous of your trifecta pic in this thread now, too.

[Qinhan]

Yeah, I'm happy I grabbed these when I could.  I should really put up a better fit pic of me in one of my 56's as the one I posed doesn't do the shirt justice.

Now extinct, no?

[Giles]

No, someone bought the last one them almost immediately cancelled the order, so there should be one back in stock….

[Giles]

There are a few black in medium in Japan if anyone is interested…...

[Peter]

im assuming we're talking full price?

[Giles]

Yep, not worth me specially getting these in for any less….

[xtcclassic]

Over in the IHSH-55 thread I said that I now had every IH shirt I couldn't live without. I don't know what the hell I was thinking, I forgot all about this beauty:
@Giles:

I don't suppose anyone has a size L they're willing to part with? Not that I can afford it right now. Not that that's ever stopped me though.

I have the black and got many a nice comment on it . As opposed to the usual
foul worded greetings and advice on where to put stuff , while walking down the street ….
