Yeah I was pleasantly surprised. Truth be told the shoulders were a little unruly… it looked like I was wearing shoulder pads. But it seems I got about a half an inch of shrink. So this should pull the shoulders in slightly. I was gonna throw it in the dryer. But there's a ton of indigo bleed and I know this will get streaky because the indigo is so dark.
This was the water in the pot during the soak. -
I hot machine washed my shirt (on gentle and no spin) and put it in the dryer. I got a an inch of shrink pit to pit and lots of great puckering and roping.

Here is a sneak peek of the shirt I was talking about in the Random Question thread. Many thanks to Fredrik from Indigofera for trying to help me find one. It only took 4 tries to finally cop one…

That's rad. Though I generally prefer how IH does it, I've mentioned that IH should try a flannel with the quarter-turned placket, it's a great vintage look, especially when the orientation matches a turned yoke and pockets as most IH Westerns have.

I just liked it because of the colors. It's supposed to match the color scheme from a 70s Datsun advertisement. You wouldn't believe how much trouble I went to find one.

@Filthy what size did you get? We wear the same size in Iron Heart shirts I think…
-
@Palmer 2xl. But good luck finding one. Pretty sure I got the very last one on Earth.
See this discussion
Edit. *snip -
@filthy Dang. I see that Standard and Strange still says they have an XXL which I why I was asking.
-
@Palmer I can guarantee that they do not because the one email is from them. Sorry.
-
Oh I must have missed that. Probably a good thing for me since it will be 90-100 degrees here in the day for the next few months. That isn't stopping me from considering that size 38 888HXSib in the buy sell trade area of the forum.
Enjoy that beautiful shirt! -
@Palmer despite being an XL I can confirm that the PTP on an XL is the exact same size as a 3xl in IH . They are 62 cm pit to pit and 61 cm at the waist… but the shirt will shrink 1 cm wish a cold wash they said

I finally got my shirt. The box was all smashed up, but the shirt survived.
The shirt is super awesome, and I love the colors. The material is very thick and soft. It is kind of on the bigger side so I will have to give it a hot wash to shrink it a bit.
-
Congrats Filthy I hope you love it. Sure looks great. That colorway is brilliant.

Thanks. I do love it. I just have to wait until probably the end of September to be able to wear it.

@Graeme I would bet you would be able to get by with an XL. The pit to pit on my 2xl is a 52. There were several XLs available while I was looking.
