IHPS-01 - Ultra Heavy Short-Sleeved Polo Shirt

[neph93]

A blue bag with two of these is waiting for me at home. I'm a teensy bit excited as I always am with a new type of IH product. Also I'm interested to see how the length is. Is it a bit too much (even for us lot) to have your seamstress adjust the length of a polo shirt?

You can definitely look forward to them. If they're too long try to hot wash them first before consulting a tailor.

Do you have experience with them? I know the page says once washed/no shrinkage. They aren't too long, in fact the black fits me perfectly. There is some variation in sizing though as the grey is a good 2 cm wider in the body. So if there was shrinkage to be had I could stand to loose a bit off the bottom for some width shrinkage.

Anyways, sizing issues aside, they are really nice. So cleanly designed and made (I'm thinking of the buttons, collar and ribbed arm especially) and the fabric is really luxurious. Great work IH.

I gave my grey a 30°C wash and no shrinkage occured. I concur that the fabric is stunning and they are simply amazing overall.

Wore my black in anger for the first time yesterday. I will certainly be wearing mine untucked most of the time, menswear standards be damned. But, they do tuck very nicely as well, if needs be. I'm also going to get my grey taken in a bit. Looks like an easy fix for my seamstress. Really nice alternative to have in the wardrobe.

A large in grey and a large in navy just placed in stock

[madmonday]

been living with these for about a year or so and am happy with the construction but my large is a bit too long and my medium a bit too short

‍️

washed and dried all sorts of ways and no shrinkage that i can tell and keep their shape

other weird thing is they are heavy and being that i always wear a tee i won’t be able to wear them much longer when out and about

Restock next week….

[Giles]

Restocked

[UnTucked]

No larges?

[Giles]

Yes, but the navy sold.  Black and grey still in stock

I was literally looking at polo shirts yesterday thinking "IH doesn't have my size, so Filson will be fine", and now this happens…..

I've gotta gauge what Maddy's reaction will be if she comes back from vacay and sees a weeks worth of new clothes in my room, lol

[neph93]

These are great. Think you would need an M @UnTucked . This is me in an L…

[UnTucked]

I'm 90% sure I'm a medium…

I'll brood over it for a couple of hours... It's a relatively steep purchase for polo shirts, but it's not so outlandish. I just know I want the trifecta, lol

*Slowly regretting my Mister Freedom purchases I made yesterday.....

Given the predictable levels of fabric quality and construction, they are totally worth it when you get them in hand.

I'm lucky I don't don't wear much navy and that IH didn't do a white one. Otherwise I'd have three instead of two…  ::)

[UnTucked]

The trifecta has been copped…..

Now, time to sell some stuff to make balance in the force, lol

[Giles]

I've just enabled stock alerts on this….We'll restock soon....

[neph93]

This is great. Nice to see these shirts getting the love they deserve.

@neph93 are you an XL in westerns?  I see you went L on these and the fit looks great.  I just copped a black L (normally an XL western) but debating still….

[neph93]

An XL in westerns, yes. Used to be XL closer to XXL now I’m XL closer to L, if you see what I mean.

As you say, I copped a black and grey in L first time round. While the black fit great straight out of the bag the grey was wider in the body so I had it taken in to the width of the black.
