IHSH-135 - US Navy Style Chambray Short-Sleeved Shirt

[Jordonf9]

It's finally warm enough to wear this shirt again. I forgot how much of a beautiful fabric and fit this shirt is. I also forgot how easily the buttons slide through the openings. I was thinking of possibly stitching them so they are slightly tighter but does anyone have any recommendations on keeping the buttons tighter or making the holes smaller?

Add a couple of small stitches to the opening to slightly reduce the length of the hole….

Thanks @Giles  I figured that's what I'd be doing. Do you know what color the stitches are done in? Get as close as I can to it.

[Jordonf9]

Did the holes last night, took a little by hand, but happy the shirt don't randomly come open now. Lucky we had thread to match the OE thread.

Nice job….

Special fabric…

[Jordonf9]

This is the only chambray shirt I ever had. It is just a lovely shirt and fabric like @Dishelveled said. I love the blue bottoms over the white ones on the 5.5 that's out now.

Be killer to have this fabric but with double indigo for intense fades, and 5oz or lighter. That be my 2nd chambray haha.

Love the fuzzyness and slubness of the face too

Agreed @Jordonf9 that the tonal blue buttons are the way to go vs white.

It's tough to capture the texture and depth of color but here is the (newish) 135 vs (worn) 13 for comparison

@Dishelveled

How is your medium coming up, measurement-wise? And have you washed to get the shrinkage out?

Based on what was posted in the thread regarding the in-house shrinkage on a large, I was confused if the posted measurements on the product page were actual, or expected after a wash. (22.7" chest…)

Product page measurements are always actual.

@Dishelveled owns so many IH tops that he never has to wash them.

[Dishelveled]

Haha, its true; the depth of my rotation is obscene

Mine has shrank very slightly with a couple warm washes

[Bluegrass]

Mine shrunk very little, I've cold wash/hang dried 3-4 times. This shirt runs just a bit larger in my size than most IH. Love it.

This one is aging nicely. My favorite short sleever. Can't believe it's been 3 years already! Ignore the greying beard and doubling neck pls.

Still going strong.
