    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…

      Chris what you said is f'ng FUNNY - and so true.  makes sense if they can take a beating on your back they can also handle a good wash.

              Without a new comparison these seem to holding on to the indigo fairly well…these are washed a lot...

                Love this shirt.  It just gets softer and better the more you wash it.

                  I drip dry mine….stiff as cardboard but soften up in a few minutes. I'm sure they would soften with tumbling...

                    I wash cold and spin dry, and hang it up - seems like it dries fast, is a bit crunchy at first, and as you guys said it softens right up.  Great shirt - all Aces!

                        Aside from the difference in cuts and slightly lighter colour, how does this compare to the 07 weight-wise? I've got the 78 but the white snaps on the 91 and 07 are calling to me, but need to decide which one

                          I don't have both, but the stripe on the 91 is a deep, rich blue against a very bright white.  The shirt is of made from very stout material yet still soft and pliable.  And I love the cut; this is the only IH work shirt I have and I love the white snaps.  Buttons?? We don't need no stinking buttons!!  I like coming home and ripping off my shirt like Hulk Hogan.  That's my best sales pitch - it's one of my favorite IH shirts.

                              tough time deciding what size to go with, can anyone offer an opinion?

                              my ihsh-08 sbg is a large western and fits snug, but i like the fit and dont think i'd size up. I just bought the ihsh-13 in large work/western as well, its a much more comfortable fit. Torn between a M and an L,  here is the comparison (sorry for the tough to read table and/or TL:DR):

                              |           13 L 08 L 91 L 91 M
                              P2P       22.2 22" 23 22.2
                              Shoulders 18.2 17.3" 18.3 17.3
                              Length    30.2 30" 30 29.2
                              Arm       26 26.5" 26.6 25.7
                              Waist     21.4   21.7 21
                              Opening  22.7     22 21.3
                              Collar     17.5     17.4 17 |

                                Seems like both would work - L fitting more like the 13, M more like the 08. I would check wether there's any crititcal measurement that you can't allow not to fit - for me it's always the shoulders. I size up if the shoulders are too small, even when the rest fits.

                                @elclintor:

                                  Thanks man, shoulders in the 08 have relaxed a bit and im liking the fit a lot more, leaning toward the medium. Birthday is coming up, lets see how much the wife loves me

                                    I'm curious how the stripes fade. Anyone have pics of this shirt with some wear?

                                          Upside down tag. Snaps on a workshirt. Feeling Australian. Thanks @Matt
