      Ok, thanks guys. I wouldn’t mind some shrink. But I’ll drop dry it to be safe.

      Maybe so. Maybe not

            @sabergirl:

            I always just turn it inside-out, and chuck it in the top-loader we have at home, warm water, regular cycle with spin. Then I tumble dry it, hot.  Of course, I wasn't at all worried about shrinkage, and I did get some the first couple times.  No weird streaks or anything, though.

            Same here, except I wash in cold water.

              @Alex:

              40 Deg Celcius max, no - low spin, drip dry

              Alex, if I’m looking for a little shrink can I increase the temp of the water? Or do u advise against that?

                I’ve blasted some of my wabash on 90C with 800rpm to get max shrinkage. It doesn’t shrink quite as much as UHR for example but it’s quite effective.

                I’d say wash at 40C and see how you feel. If there isn’t enough action go to 60. One thing, washing will accelerate wear on exposed areas (collar, cuffs, hems, hemmed corners etc.).

                  For sure, you are not more at risk of streaks from hotter water, but of shrinkage. If you wash at 40 and need more shrink, try at 50, then 60etc.

                      Is there a list of sorts with the IH shirts that have been made in lady sizes?

                        And - without having looked and compared measurements yet - are they designed to follow the female body shape, or are they just smaller sizes of regular IH shirts?

                          Are the ones that there is a (tiny) stock of in Japan in either LS or LM. Yes, the size is designed for a female body, it is not a 'XXS'

                              @neph93 @sabergirl @Alex @Chris ok so i took a bit of all your recommendations and i washed the shirt twice yesterday. i pre-soaked the shirt in 55C water for about 5 mins then i did a 40C delicate cycle with no spin. then shortly after that i did a 55C delicate wash with no spin. it was a gamble but it worked out. i let the shirt drip dry overnight and then when it was a little damp this morning i put it in the dryer on high heat for 20 minutes. the shirt looks great and there are no streaks. it fits better too. i can def afford to do another hot wash and a little more drying next time. id like to get some more shrink out of this one. thanks again everybody.

                                  this is the greatest shirt i have ever owned. the quality of the fabric, the construction,feel, color, design.. everything is just so great about this shirt. and the fades in the creases are great. i will post pics the next time i see the sun.

                                  Maybe so. Maybe not

                                    My wife asked me how many breweries I've been to, and best I can remember, I'm up to seven (not including brewpubs).

                                    That prompted the question, how many breweries has the average person been to?
