IHSH-101-TG - Turquoise/Grey Ultra Heavy Cotton Flannel Western Shirt

@thomas01:

How hot did you wash them? 60 degrees?

No, 40. There will be more shrinkage at 60 degrees.

Finally got to try my shirt on. (I was out of town, but it arrived last Monday). It fits perfect right now, but I'm concerned about washing it. If I lose any length in the body or arms, it may be unwearable. Of course, there aren't any XL's remaining so I may be stuck with my decision or need to buy from Self Edge if they ever get it. Any thoughts?

Fits great.  I'd say anymore than 1/4" loss in the sleeves and they'd be too short for my liking.  Same goes for length, spot on at the moment.  Personally wouldn't want to lose more than 1/2".  If you lose an inch in length I think it will still be very wearable as long as you're comfortable with more of a Flat Head type length.

^^ Wear as long as possible without washing then wash cold and all should be fine.

I've done exactly what 4c said with my ultra heavies and also got very minimal shrinkage - quick cycle cold wash, put it on wet and move around a bit to shape it, and put it on a hanger/air dry.

Yeah, it seems westerns have been coming up just a little smaller, judging by forum consensus. It's perfect for me

Your fit is great. Like the guys say, no shrinkage with a 30/40 wash with low/no spin cycle. Also, no tumble dry. If in doubt, hand wash in lukewarm water and you'll be fine!

An XL has just been added to stock.

[Shoreman]

Honestly, thank you whoever just bought that XL.
Thank you.

And Cadence, I don't think you'll be happy with that Large in the long run.

[cadence]

@Shoreman I pretty much agree. So… You're welcome that I snatched up the XL. Sorry to anyone else who was praying for it. I just emailed in this morning for an exchange once I saw what @Winchy wrote. Also, I talked to Matt who was a very nice guy.

Ah, good. I was hoping it went to you.

[Max Power]

Me too, I  assume that it was the one I returned.

Hotel shot of this bad boy. It's perfect!!

(Size M). My regular IH size.

All I see is a no entry sign…..

[Snowy]

Bloody Google doing it's no image again. I can see it when I'm not logged on and on my phone :/. Will see what I can do short of having to uploading to my work laptop…

[Max Power]

Looks great! I did another wash on mine, now it fits perfect, just like my other XLs. Plus it got a bit of that certain washed out look that IMO looks better on these colours.

[Giles]

Can see now….

[cadence]

Much happier with the XL. I can't say it feels like a whole size up but it for sure fits me better. Not sure I'm comfortable with washing it yet. I will probably wear this as long as I can before I wash it. Thanks for the heads up on the XL @Winchy and big thanks to IH Matt. Matt was super helpful with all my questions and locking down the XL for my exchange. I must've emailed him back and forth 10x in a matter of a few days.

Wearing Left Field sweat pants in this one. I don't wear them out in public but sometimes it's very tempting. 

[Winchy]

You are most welcome @cadence. Enjoy it!

Matt (AKA Winchy).

[cadence]

Haha! That's too funny.
