IHSH-163 - Wool Work Shirt - Grey, Charcoal and Olive

[neph93]

@Appfaff:

@neph93 - I think I will stick to dry cleaning when necessary. However my red Melton CPO did mark pretty easily, but a quick damp rag usually did the trick in terms of spot cleaning.

Just been checking the web for how to wash virgin wool without shrinking, and it isn't hard. I'll be sticking with my regular size and doing a cold hand wash with specialist wool detergent, unless @Winchy or @Giles  say otherwise.

@manufc10:

these look really nice.  i'm afraid wool might be too warm for my climate (Arizona)???  never owned any wool shirts.  I would imagine these would be warmer than the UHF's??

@Broark:

I feel the same way, just not cold enough in Texas.
All three colors look great.

Wool breathes amazingly well compared to cotton, and G-san mentioned that these are quite thin. I very much doubt they'll be as warm as the UHF's and will certainly work better in heat.

Of course you had to say that lol.  My wallet will not thank you

[manufc10]

yep, measurements look about perfect for me on an XL.

No problem and my pleasure! Just paying forward the same kindness shown to me by all the other enabling barstewards on this forum [emoji23]

I'm a bad man, I know [emoji17][emoji38]

[Broark]

You even almost have me convinced on this one @neph93
I just ordered the 131-BC so I can't justify another IH shirt right now, but it'll be mighty tempting…

That grey looks so good. If I can get the cash together, I'm getting one.

[Aetas]

This shirt will be a great adventure in fit, shrinkage and thermal respondence.
But what a clean look!
This was not on my list, till today!

[Giles]

I'm really worried that I under ordered these.  I will see what extra I can pull over from Japan….

[fifediesel]

What retailers are getting them?

[Anesthetist]

Cmon man, I'm REALLY trying to be good here.

VMC are getting the charcoal - that's it.

[Giles]

Update.  I've checked Japanese stock, Haraki has a few of all sizes that he can let me have.  If you miss out when these go live.  Please email me at giles@ironheart.co.uk, saying what you need want…..

Can anyone speak to how this shirt feels against the skin? (i.e. "the hand.")

[Winchy]

I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't quite as itchy as I thought it might have been, that said I was glad of the twill lining on the collar. In general it's very soft and comfy to wear straightaway.

[Shoreman]

Yeah, in and around the neck area is where I would be irritated the most. Thank you, Winchy!

Giles, would you opt for an XL in this shirt? ( I don't know why I'm asking, I'm almost certain the answer is "yes.")

Olive for me, also excited. But I've ordered by measurements and not by what Sam and Giles wears which now has me a quite nervous as well as excited. They sized up from normal and I haven't [emoji51]
