IHSH-95 - The Johnny Cash Works Too - Superblack 12oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt

[Boit]

Giles, I just got the 95 in the mail yesterday…and now wondering about the shrink. Would you expect these to shrink a whole tagged size? I'll be more specific: would you expect a large to shrink close to that of the measurements of the medium?

[Boit]

^ btw: I got the medium and the fit is spot on, but I wouldn't want it to get any smaller in length and width, so my options are to cold soak or size-up and hot soak.

[Giles]

We actually got no shrinkage off ours which we wash at 30C….Anyone else?

[Boit]

Rafa, did you get a chance to soak your 95? Any shrink?

[grandmasterben]

Dude, don't worry about shrinkage. Unless it's supposed to shrink just cold wash and you'll be fine

[Boit]

its supposed to shrink…as stated in product description, dude. At this point i am leaning toward returning for a size up and figured someone here would chime in regarding their experience

[Peter]

havent washed mine yet and i have no plans doing so for a while. but its denim; if you want it to shrink it will shrink, if you dont itll only shrink a tad. if youre fine with either just soaking or cold washing, i think you should stick with the medium. if you hot wash a sized up one you can probably get one size of shrinkage in length and possibly sleeves, but probably not in other areas.

^+1 what Peter said imho

From product page "Slight shrinkage to be expected, these are made slightly oversized to compensate"

Personnally i never had any issues washing any IH shirt at 30 degrees Celsius full spin. But this is how i am doing and i am not owning the 95 but would do the same. I am always wearing them a while before washing.

[Boit]

okay, i am conceding. this fits too good to worry about what it's gonna do in water. I'll just have to remind myself to take the thing off before getting into any hot tubs (;)

not to perpetuate the discussion but Peter this defies my denim logic

@Peter:

if you hot wash a sized up one you can probably get one size of shrinkage in length and possibly sleeves, but probably not in other areas.

i would think proportionally the width would shrink more than other dimensions in shirts because this is the longest dimension?

[davito]

Buddy if you buy the shirt in your IH size i dont see any reason to hot hot wash it. If measurements in your size are good for you go for it and dont worry too much imho

[Boit]

Already done, David. Thanks for your opinion.

lusting after the 75 now …thanks wade!

[SeruRitchi]

Couldn't resist. Apologies to the rap haters.

I did XS with my 21, so I think to go S with 95…  :-\

Neil,  My job is to keep the circle in a constant state of not quite complete - sorry…..

[georgeel]

Well done, 75 is a wonderful heavy denim work shirt, I did XS with mine, and it's perfect.

So what to do with 95? XS or S?  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

[Giles]

I don't know the answer to that one I am afraid.  perhaps there is someone out there with both…..
