IHSH-91 - Indigo Dyed Hickory Stripe Work Shirt
-
Has anyone hot washed / dried this to try to shrink it a bit more? I love this piece but it's a tad long - wondering if I should try to shrink or just sell it. Thoughts?
-
I've washed and machine dried mine a couple of times and it doesn't seem to have changed much. I don't think you'll have much success trying to shrink it.
-
Hmm. Too bad. Guess I'm selling a Medium. PM if interested - I'll post in buying/selling shortly.

Quitting time

Cleans up better than me
-
Restocked.

And because it's a fantastic shirt.
-
That shirt is sick, really love the workshirt w/ snaps
-
After a wash it softens up some and gets even better. This one may take the crown from my wabash work shirt as my favorite of all time.
-
I just chuck it in the washing machine, normal cycle, cold water- just like all my ordinary shirts. I'm pretty sure I dried it in the dryer on high heat, but I haven't worn it in months, so I can't remember.

Think that's more out of concern foe indigo bleed and damaging other garments though
-
Yeah, I'm always amused by the extremes of the care instructions on IH shirts. They start off with "Wear as long as possible without washing", then follow up with "Do not wash with pale colours. Strongly recommended that you wash this gently and inside out."
So basically treat it like crap until it's disgusting, then wash it like it's made of silk and lace. I just treat them like all my other shirts…
