      Wore mine today over my TW prince of wales flannel. Great combo for a windy and cold day in Pittsburgh.

                Anyone know if a hot wash/dryer will get me a little shrink on this?

                  Without any experience with this denim, yes, ofc it'll shrink.

                    Product page says "rinsed, so no shrinkage (or very minimal), to be expected". Product page tends to be right in my experience.

                      ^^if you wash within recomended temps, durations….

                      If you up the temps in the wash and dry and maybe even the time the garment is agitated the more chance you will get more shrinkage.

                        Not in my experience. All the shirts I've had that have shrunk, the product page said they would. All the shirts that said minimal shrinkage had minimal or no shrinkage, even at 60C's with a hot dry. If all the shrinkage is gone, then it's gone. Cotton won't contract forever.

                          There was only one XXL left so I went for it. Even just a tiny bit of shrink would be nice. Planning on using it as an overshirt anyways.

                            I just washed mine on cold and have no discernible shrinkage. Hot water might be different.

                              My IHSH-141 shrank significantly after a hot soak and some time in the dryer. Almost sold it because it was too big, now it fits like a glove. The IH page states, "The overdying process removes all shrinkage, so no shrinkage to be expected"

                                -I hot soaked mine (with agitation). Air dried in 20 minutes in the sun, and got ~.3-.4" shrinkage in the back length. Not much shrinkage.

                                  Yeah, I have a few too, but this shrank. Loving the fit now…hope it doesn't stretch too much.

                                    I am very surprised that there was any shrink.  The overdying process usually shrinks the bejeebers out of any fabric it sees….

                                          I gave my 140 a hot wash then threw it in the dryer. Got a tiny bit of shrink. Seems to fit me nicely as an overshirt, though the ams are a tad long. This turned out to feel heavier than I thought it would.

                                            Sorry for the crappy pics. How's this fit looking? This is over a thin flannel.
