IHSH-193 - Indigo Dyed 10oz Check Selvedge Flannel Western Shirt

[Giles]

Did you mean just outside of Japan, yes

Hmmm. XXL and hot wash for a bit of shrinkage or XL and try to stretch in shoulders.

[Appfaff]

Akuma- I had the XL in the workshirt and it was too tight, even after a few wears - fabric didn't stretch much - completely different than a UHF - I would get the XXL and dry if needdd

I'd go XXL and wash at 30C, then 40C then 50C stopping when you get the shrinkage you require

What effect would a very hot wash have on the Indigo fabric? Are there any washed out 170s yet?

[Giles]

Shrink it and lose a little colour..

Wow, pretty boxy fit for a western; it's not going to work for me. That sucks, I was super excited, but for me to fit my (not that big) shoulders in would mean way to much room in the trunk. 

Edit: In fact it looks like it's more boxy than the 170 workshirt (looking at PtP vs. shoulder measurements).

[gaseousclay]

Fit's not gonna work for me either

Looks like the chest comes up slightly wider than a lot of westerns, but don't forget to check the waist and opening. That's where the "fit" is.

Yeah my 170 is by far my best fitting work shirt, it's damn near a western fit.  Fits better than my 129 western.

I'm just saying that the 193 is boxyer than other recent western, and in fact it's boxyer than the 170. I'm not saying it's not going to be a flattering fit for some people.

(As a side note, the waist of the 193 is also looser in relation to the shoulders than that of the 170 workshirt.)

[neph93]

I know, and you're right, the middle looks wide in relation to the shoulders and the length and the measurements are different to other western cuts. It'll be interesting to see the fit pics. Winchy looks great in his.

OMG….this is not fair.....

[cordroto]

I could fit a large, but would need another inch in the shoulders. 

[spacecadet]

These measurements are one washed, right?

[neph93]

I'm pretty sure, yes.

[spacecadet]

Thanks. Yeah. If it was unwashed like the Kanreki I figure it would have already been mentioned. Thanks.

I should mention that a hot wash will probably still cause some shrinkage, regular washing, 30-40C won't.
