IHSH-13-BLU - 10oz Selvedge Chambray Single Yoke Western Shirt - Blue

I can't afford much shrinkage on mine hence the cold water hand washing.  Also, I completely agree with @DrBabyhorse regarding the top loading washing machines.

@Chris:

I wash all my shirts inside out on regular cycle, cold.  Tumble dry, high heat.  I don't recall ever having any problems.  Currently, I have the 58, 68, 91, 119, 154 and 165.  I've owned a couple of others over the years and treated them the same.

I might be in the minority on this, but I believe carefully crafted rugged wear should be able to withstand the same routine as the cheaply made shirt I bought off a clearance rack, so I treat them accordingly.

i never trusted the washing machine. ALL my tops are hand washed only and only my bottoms are machines on a quick cycle with varied water temps or spin depending on that it is.

@Senorx:

No shrinkage on the Chambray with high heat dryer?

Maybe?  I dyed both of the chambrays, so I paid even less attention to the measurements than I usually do.  I also layer my IH shirts, (cuz Texas is so friggin hot that's all the jacket I usually need) so I don't buy the smallest size possible.  I can measure them when I get home this weekend and compare them to the numbers on the website, if you'd like.

And since I dyed them, which essentially means boiling them for an hour or so, I'm pretty confident that they've shrunk as much as is physically possible…

@Giles and crew, how would you guys recommend fixing this? Both my IND and BLK have this same exact issue. Patch? Darning?

[Giles]

Patch would look cool and I think I have some of that material here….

[UnTucked]

Should I bring them to Kanreki for a drop off?

[Giles]

I said I thought that we had some material here, not that we would do it for you…....

[UnTucked]

HA!

All good either way! I'll take whatever scraps you offer, and entrust these high quality garments to the hands of some mere mortals somewhere, lol

First IH shirt and most worn nowadays …...perhaps after the 99.

Named it after a famous "Cold-blooded horse" today  :D.

Cross post from DWC, definitely my most worn IH shirt. Left elbow in need of a patch and right soon enough, looking forward to keeping it alive, and probably going to buy another soon so I have a crispy new one …

Now that's a nicely worn shirt

Thank you my man!

Just about as perfect a fit as a shirt can get!

Really regretting my 13 go after looking at your pics… maybe something for the future
