IHSH-172-BLK - Black Waffle Work Shirt
-
@manufc10 - I did - I went XXL on all the new gear. Westerns/UHFs I usually size up anyways, and the measures for the 172 were a little too snug in XL - especially with the stretchy material - glad I did. I feels comfy over the 1610, and could probably work over my IHTB-06 if needed. I think the solid black would look killer over the reed/white stripe of the 06.

Hell yeah Adam that looks great! I have it as well and think the weight is perfect. I got the xxxl for the shoulder width and warm washed/dried it and got the bit of shrink I wanted. Great choice it fits like it was made for you! @Appfaff
Approx how much shrink did you get out of the shirt? I just got an XXL from SE since I was afraid the XL would be too small for me in the shoulders and waist… The XXL I have could benefit from a shrink but wasn't sure how much these would shrink up... probably need it to shrink close to a half size... better to keep the XXL or try out XL?

FWIW, I kept the XXL and decided to do a hot wash… shrank enough for me to be happy with it. If it's helpful for anyone else, pre/post measurements below...
Pre — Post
Shoudlers - 20 — 19
Length - 29 — 28.5
P2P - 23.75 —23
Waist - 22.5 — 22.5
Opening - 23.5 — 23
Sleeves - 26 — 25.75
Sleeve Opening - 5 — 4.75Could probably benefit from another really hot wash and tumble to see if i can get a little more shrink out of it...

??? An inch in the shoulders and only 0.25in in the sleeves? This weave is symmetrical and I would expect similar shrinkage in all directions.

I just hot washed again to see if I could get it to shrink more. When I get a chance will post the latest.

I just need some advice, I'd like to order IHSH-172-BLK, But I am just curious about how warm/hot that shirt. Since I end up to sell my IHSH-154 shirt because it was too hot to wore in South East Asia.
Is it too hot to wearing IHSH-172-BLK in tropical/hot climate country in South East Asia such as Singapore or Indonesia? -

Is it too hot to wearing IHSH-172-BLK in tropical/hot climate country in South East Asia such as Singapore or Indonesia?I live in a warmer climate in the southeast US and would say that I probably would not wear this in any "hot" climate… the shirt is breathable due to the waffle fabric but I can't say that it's a particularly cool shirt to wear in hot weather. Of all the IH shirts I own though (several UHF's and some lighter weight flannels and some chambrays), I'd say it's one of the most breathable. I'd say this shirt is most comfortable for me with a light t-shirt underneath when the weather is in the 60's or 70's.
If it helps, my family is from Thailand and I visit there frequently, typically in the winter months... If I were traveling to southeast Asia in December then I probably only would consider wearing this at night time there as I feel it would be too warm to wear during the day... that being said I see people there all the time wearing pants/jeans and long sleeve shirts in weather where I would be only comfortable in shorts and a short sleeve t-shirt...

Many thanks Tangfj, that's help.
I love the look of the IH shirts but mostly i can't wearing it, the climate is too hot in South East Asia.
When I saw this shirt thought it will be cool enough to wearing it in South East Asia, it look more breathable and lightweight. but I am not sure to wearing it on daily basis since the temperature here is about 30' Celcius to 32' Celcius .
With the most IH shirts price range it such a waste not to wear it quite often. That's why some time I hold my self not to purchase the shirts. -
I'd have a look at the 197 or 198, if I were you, @aijn17. I have the light 197, and it's very breathable.
