IHSH-68-blk - 12oz Wabash Work Shirt - Black

[nurunuru]

@browniemcghee Good to hear!  I read through the thread for the indigo version and saw it had a potential for some pretty good shrinkage, probably depending on the washing regimen.  Have you found it to shrink much with washing?  I'm wondering whether cold washes and a lack of tumble drying would keep it a fairly constant size, if it fits well right off the bat.

Hey there.  This fabric can shrink.  I wash inside out cold with no spin.  It has not really shrunk at all.  I do not have the indigo version of this fabric, so I cannot comment there.  I hope you enjoy it.  Those red bartacks are amazing.  Buttons are perfect too.

Yeah, it's such a great-looking shirt.  Glad to hear shrinkage can be avoided, if that's what's needed!

I have a blue work shirt and a black western.  I didn't measure, but I don't think there was significant shrinkage on either of mine.  I machine wash cold, tumble dry hot; these aren't any different than my other clothes in that regard.

I don't treat my shirts especially well…

First ever Iron Heart purchase.  Love it!  Huge thanks to Adam for measuring every last XL to find me the one with the widest shoulders.  Roll on autumn!

Just to mix sci-if metaphors, IH addiction is not so much like The Matrix as 70’s Disney meets Star Trek. It’s a Black Hole and “resistance is futile”.

I just ordered an XL on the basis of the new slightly wider chest measurements. I can't wait to get this…obviously i'll be able to wear it come the weekend when temperatures are merely at 30+ degrees C!

I love it when people get wabash fever. It’s the best stuff.

What's the verdict? Chest fits just right, shoulders snug. Couldn't afford to lose much with shrinkage so would cold wash. My indigo is an xxl and on @neph93 and @rocket recommendation I washed at 90 c for shrinkage. Don't really want to rely on over shrinkage for fit.

[neph93]

Arm length and hem length look spot on and the body fits great. I can see you fill out the shoulders but it looks good still. The important thing is whether you feel you can get on with them.

You’d defo need some serious shrinkage for arms on an XXL to work so I can see your point.

How did you get on with the vest?
