IHSH-62-IND - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo

I’d like To shrink just the sleeves on this shirt. Is that possible? With like a very hot Sleeve Soak? Any recommendations? @neph93 @Filthy 21/23oz junkie

There’s been some discussion about this especially around UHF’s. In theory it should be possible if you can rig things so that the whole sleeve is submerged and nothing else.

I’ve never done it because, like small children, we all need boundaries, and I think looking for spot shrinkage in our shirts should be one of them [emoji1]

My experience with my 2 IHSH-62s, 2 IHV-02s and 2 pairs of IH-814s is that this fabric doesn't seem to shirk much. Or, at least not enough that I noticed after machine washer/dryer cycles.

I always assumed it was because of the fabric gets a thorough rinse after the dots are bleached on…

It does if you nuke it (90C). But agreed, there is only a little shrinkage on 60C.

Thank you… Guess who will be doing a "90C Wabash wash cycle" this weekend, lol!

Y’alls washing machines get up to 90C? That not too far from boiling.

The front loaders at the Laundromat go up to 90C. I just noticed that this past weekend, actually

Give everything a thorough pre-soak and turn the spin down as low as you can to avoid abrasion marks. I’ve done this with both my vests and one pair of 816’s and it’s gone well. It accelerates wear as well.

if the fabric is capable of shrinking you can do it. Get a plastic bag, cut the bottom 2 corners off holes just small enough to get sleeves through. Get a CLEAN pot or container, add boiling water, hang bag above or off to the side propped up on something, agitate periodically, add hot water when it cools, do it 3x or so. Let dry or put upfront of the furnace vent or heater to really shrink and dry fast. You may or may not want to run the sleeves inside out if the fabric loses indigo fast. I didn't.

Very good fit, dude. You fill out your westerns nicely.

[emoji51] You should. I meant that it fits you well, sitting close without being snug. Sorry I was unclear in my turn of phrase [emoji28]

I really like this shirt but the length is bothering me. These are 2" longer than the black version. When I look at the older pictures in this topic I don't see that extra length, only in more recent pictures.
I don't believe hot washes can get 2" off so now I am wondering, is the shirt length in the latest batch different from the one before or do I need new reading glasses… ???

[UnTucked]

Both of my IHSH-62's are longer than all of my other westerns… I just wear them with more loose fitting pants, and then it balances it out.

Thanks UnTucked. Creative solution
