IHW-04 - 2012 Melton Wool Shirt - Navy and Red

[tatmantall]

any hopes for these to be done in black ever?

[Giles]

Reasonable possibility.  We did them in black once.  The blue, though is super dark….

I wouldn't mind seeing a subtle tartan.  I will post a colorway in a second.

Were there several runs for these shirts? I have a real hard time imagining Seul wearing an XL in this based on the measurements.

In pretty sure there have been a few iterations of the Melton over the years if that's what you mean…

[Giles]

Yes.  The first line if the first post of this thread:

IHW-04 - This years version of the classic Melton Wool Shirt

No; Seul made a post in this thread saying in last year's version of the shirt–I'm assuming '11 when the Grey version dropped, based on the post date--he took a Large but that for this year's--'12, I'm guessing (Red & Blue with snap enclosures)--he would need an XL.

So, when I said "these" shirts, I meant these shirts.

I don't think you should pay attention to Seul at all… None of us do...

[TresUnCool]

Well, you typically take a size smaller than I do, so I often pay attention to what you say and do when it comes to IH shirt sizing, piggy. (And I mean that in a very creepy way. )

[Seul]

I checked the measurements: I would be a size L in this…

hmmm, i've an XXL navy (with buttons not snaps) that I'd love to trade for the modern incarnation in XXL if anyone is interested, basically my version is snug, and i'd like the bigger xxl version (snaps). is this the right place to post this?

winter is coming, thinking of melton.

Got my xxxl navy last week - very interesting piece I can see why its so loved!

[Giles]

Restocked…..

G,  Is there an updated version of this shirt this season or is it essentially unchanged?

[tigerpac]

^I asked G that same question before pulling the trigger - I believe it is unchanged.

[Joule]

Thanks, that's what I thought.

[Giles]

I think that is the case, but until I actually see/touch the new stuff, I cant be a 100%….

[Peterpiper]

Under the sizing tab there is a note to say 'sizing below is prewash'. Does this suggest shrinkage? If so anyone any idea how much and with what type of washing?

[Greenie]

I think you would be really bummed out if you did anything but dry cleaned this one…..

[Giles]

I wash mine in gentle 30C wash, I have seen little if any shrinkage…
