Some random forum dude looking fantastic in his black 155…  ::)

Amen to that - looking great! Surprised to see how faded the best has gotten - nice stuff!

It has gotten sporadic wear but it has always been a little large. I could fit it over an N-1. In the end I started using it for DIY which softened it up nicely and created some wear.

Then came the critical moment. It had to be washed and I decided to see if I could get some shrinkage through extreme methods. One 60min soak in hot water and one wash at 90C later and it suddenly fits well. In addition the wash really brought out the fading and in fact seems to have accelerated it.

Makes total sense. I really need a denim vest to wear super snug with T-shirt’s this spring… seeing yours today reminded me of such...

I wish I had one a size smaller to do that with. The standard IH-526V is beautiful but I love the mandarin collar on this fella.

@Appfaff making a strong case for the blue colourway…

I would love the blue and the red 155, if I could afford them. The wife put her foot down this time. Let's see if there are any left when my birthday comes around in July…..

It's actually unbelievable that these UHFs ended up in the outlet and are still there for such a long time. I've been eyeing a large blue but found out the hard way that I can't make this size work in UHFs, esp. considering their shrinkage.

Sold one last week.  It was returned.  The customer had forgotten he already had it

The black is my favourite UHF, but all look great.

I love the black as well.  One of my most worn IH shirts.  Didn’t realize they got moved to the outlet. Blue on its way. Thanks to the team. @Appfaff should get a commission. His pic sold me.

Glad it helped push you over the edge!

The blue 155 is by far my all-time favorite UHF - it just always looks good!!

The black one is a banger. I was on the fence for so long - till all were gone. Glad i managed to score one lately. Looks great with a vest @daltmeyer

Thanks @illo59 I have all 3 colorways and the black is a favorite as is the blue. In person the blue is really something as well and pops better than the black. But the black is crazy but subdued awesome.

The red is a favorite of The Wonderful Lorie and it's the loudest of the three.

A recent combo I really liked:
