Hey all! Quick question… just got mine in the mail and I’m stoked. It’s slightly big in the chest area and I’m wondering what is the appropriate wash/soak combo is to make this shirt shrink a bit. Thoughts  :-?

How does the rest of the shirt fit you?

@ARoc this shirt is once washed and won't shrink anymore.

[ARoc]

Thanks guys… new to the IH universe, and I must say, I’m a better man for it! The rest of the shirt fits quite well, if not a tad long in the arms. I thought I read somewhere that some IH denim shirts could shrink a bit  depending on wash temp and dry cycle. I’m not even sure if this is a good idea, hence why I’m posting here to you more seasoned IH veterans.

I really liked the way mine fit when I bought it,and I didn’t feel like I had a whole lot of wiggle room in case it did shrink,so I washed it in cold water and hung it dry. It tightened up a little. The sleeves came up a little bit,after wearing,as a result of the combs/creases forming in the elbow area. Hope this helps.

[ARoc]

Much appreciated; that does help a lot.

I put my sleeves in boiling hot water and dried them with a hair dryer and they didn't shrink. I'd be careful putting your shirt in the dryer because this shirt loses indigo EXTREMELY fast… so you might get white streaks and unwanted creases.

Maybe @untucked could chime in?  He tends to machine wash and dry all his IH gear.  Dont think he's big on measurements though, so doubtful we'll get before and after #s, but still maybe helpful.

Like less than 15 wears.

Im pretty sure this Shirt would shrink if it gets washed really hot and with agitation. But as the others said that might cause unwanted creases and shrink the shirt overall, not just in one spot. In my experience the sleeves look shorter once the combs have settled anyway.

Been meaning to get some pictures up in this shirt. Really loving the denim. Jeans are my 555-03

It looks really nice @Jett129 especially over that shirt (henley?) I have to ask though, do you ever try sizing down? Looks like you could get away with it…

[Jett129]

Thanks!!! Believe it or not,this is a size down from the xxxl I was originally going to get. Austin @SENY convinced me to get this size. I need the inches in the chest and the opening if I'm to have any chance to close it.Definitely have a beer/stout belly. That's a generic LL Bean henley.

[neph93]

It definitely works. Shoulder and chest are perfect (and no suggestion of a beer belly at all [emoji1]).
