IHSH-179 - "The Kanreki Shirt" 6oz Check Flannel Single Yoke Western Shirt - Red

[Megatron1505]

I have the same thoughts mate, could lose some length but not so much width.

Haven't gotten round to washing mine yet, but I'll document it with before and after measurements when I do.

[UnTucked]

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).

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.

@Appfaff:

Also, the Kanreki shirt is ideal for making coffee [emoji109]

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]

We have washed a full size range of these.  We will publish the results shortly and sell them as one-washed, to take a little of the guesswork out of the sizing…..

[superfuzz]

Nice! The sizing really didn't seem to work for me. Maybe a washed version will.

[Appfaff]

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!

Thanks. No, I know poor picture, it's the IH-526J, was wearing the 21oz Tux + Kanreki today

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.

same. except i air-dryed it on a hanger.

Just measured up my 179 pre wash (results to follow) and noticed how the collar, yoke and pattern design all match up. That is some rather fekkin' tidy designing/cutting/sewing [emoji7]

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.

Good to see that the length shrinks quite a bit after a warm wash.
