@BloodnThunder:

If I didn't already have the olive 162 this with the brass snaps, like neph suggested, would be a done deal.

I'm ignoring the crap out of this page and the product page and sincerely hoping the next time I look all the XL's are sold out. My shirt collection has swelled dramatically recently, and I'm a vest guy  ???

Got this beaut today. The fabric is awesome. Bit lighter and will be great over UHF's.

Regarding fit, feels maybe a little long on me. Thoughts?

Also - Does anyone with ripstop fabric experience know whether a hot machine wash and/or dry would shrink this fabric a bit?

[neph93]

Looks good, great colour on you! It's long, but not too long, and if you're planning on layering it over other items then it won't even be that.

Thanks, @neph93!

Shirt length has been on my mind recently, and I’ve come to the conclusion that long ain’t a problem if the body fits right. Yours does.

Regarding fabric shrinkage, I don’t think anyone knows really…

[celik]

I agree. I have wider shoulders and shorter legs but I'd ultimately rather have a shirt fit me right in the shoulders / body than anything else.

This fabric is really cool. I may give it a soak and see how it reacts. Then I can always move on to a hot wash and a potential machine dry as necessary.

From experience, when an IH product page says "One-washed, so no (or minimal) further shrinkage to be expected" it's normally about right. I suspect the only way you'll get any meaningful shrinkage is by blasting the thing on 90C with a spin to boot. My advice would be try it on a 60C wash with a machine dry first.

After a machine wash & dry, this shirt fits like a dream.

[neph93]

Wow. It did make a difference. Looks even better, good work [emoji1434]

[Chris]

Agreed- that is basically perfect.

Did you hot wash or cold wash?

Hei there…

There's a good chance Giles, Alex or the rest of the crew might miss this. I'd recommend dropping them a PM or email to the shop.

@saladin3682 There are none in Kojima I am afraid.
