IHSH-179 - "The Kanreki Shirt" 6oz Check Flannel Single Yoke Western Shirt - Red
-
For those who have washed and dried the 179, any significant shrink in the chest, or mainly in length?
I'd love to get the sleeves a bit shorter but can't really warrant much loss in P2P size…

I have the same thoughts mate, could lose some length but not so much width.
-
Thanks UnTucked - mine already is a bit snug over thick tshirts so I may cold wash and hang dry to see if I get any shrink out of length and then machine dry if not much happens.
I just hate to lose any of the color of this beauty. While I feel it will look smashing a little washed out, I have a pension for vibrant coloring and this defiantly fits that bill.

Please enlighten me, how exactly is this shirt improving your performance in brewing the black gold?

^ the lightweight fabric allows for maximum mobility when it comes to pouring hot water over the top of a 4 cup chemex [emoji12]
Also, the flannel material provided adequate insulation from boiling water spills and keeps you cozy while enjoying said cup of joe.

@Appfaff I hand washed mine in cold water and machine dried it on medium heat and it shrank .75" in the length, no shrinkage at all in the chest and shoulders. I measured pre and post. Came out perfectly for me as I couldn't afford any shrink at all really in the shoulders and chest.

Just the words I wanted to hear.
Heading into the washer with mine now lol [emoji23]

Mine is in the dryer now. I will put together a size chart similar to the one Giles and Alex did for the XL for my XXL.
I will post pre-wash / post wash+ dry/ and Post Warm Iron sizing here in about an hour when the delicate dry is through
EDIT: just saw Giles comment about the pre-wash chart. Whoops!

Looks great @Chap!
What jacket is that? the 19oz lefty?

I know this will be pure lagniappe once the size chart for the washed 179s get posted but figured I'd share my experience nonetheless
I took measures before a wash, cold wash + low machine dry, and then after a warm iron.

I washed and machine dried, but I'm not a "measurer"… I didn't measure before or after, but I do know that it shrank some. Most notably, in the length department (Over-all length, and sleeve length).
same. except i air-dryed it on a hanger.

179 in XL washed at 50C/1000rpm and hang dried. Measurements before/after:
One thing should be noted; I'd worn it three times before I measured it and my subjective impression is that this fabric is stretchy. When I tried it on post wash it seemed to be the same in the chest as it was when I first tried it on. So definitely length to be lost but I think there's minimal to lose in the chest and shoulders, and it will come back with one wear, much like a pair of jeans.
I've said it before, but this really is a great shirt in the flesh. Lovely to wear and the colours and pattern are tasty.
