IHSH-96-IND - Waffle Work Shirt - Indigo

[Giles]

Very breathy….

[David K.K. Hansen]

Yeah, it's a nice shirt for summer.  I usually wear it with the sleeves rolled up.

[BD81]

Thanks guys… so it should be a bit lighter and more breathable than the IHSH-225?

[Giles]

It's probably not much physically lighter but it will feel lighter and it will breathe a whole lot better….

[BD81]

Tts or size down? I already have a few opinions, I would really appreciate a few more…. please

[neph93]

Don’t know for sure as I don’t have it but I believe size down as it is stretchy. Without looking I pretty sure it has been discussed in this thread earlier, so a trawl through it should help.

[BD81]

I have a bit of a gut right now so prob tts then.

[BD81]

Waiting on measurements but I'm pretty sure that xxl will be best for my fat ass lol

You really don't need a whole slew of opinions, you'll get contradictory answers, all you need to do is this:

Measure your best fitting shirt like this

and compare those measurements to those published on the product page. And make your decision based on that.

Xxl it will prob be the. I mostly wanted to hear that it stretched alot or that it didnt. I have read conflicting things in this thread. I overthink shit way too much lol

Here are my measurements for one I bought last year. I’ve washed it three times. Two cold, and one warm wash. The post-wash measurements were taken after wearing a few times since its most recent wash. That’s why the shoulder measurement is the same pre-wash figure.

Shoulder:  18.5 => 18.5
Length:  28.6 => 28.25
Chest:  22.3 => 21.75
Waist:  20.8 => 20.25
Opening:  21.7 => 21.5
Sleeve:  25.25 => 24.75

This shirt is definitely stretchy, but the buttons also tend to slip out, even when not under pressure.

I also agree that it feels quite airy on its own, but if worn under something, it provides a comfortably warm layer.

[BD81]

Thanks everyone for the help! Especially @Graham for dealing with my indecisive over thinking lol  Can't wait to try this thing on

[BD81]

@jat that is fairly easy to fix, just put a single stitch at the top or bottom of the button hole.

Thank you. Good idea.

Im glad i took @Graham s advice on this shirt. Exact fit i was looking for prob could have went with a large, but xl will be great for the warmer months. IH customer service is def top notch. Thanks again

[Graham]

Exact fit, boom! Cheers B.

May I ask a foolish kinda' question?

How does the fabric on this shirt compare with the IHSH-208-IND, the Kersey shirt.  Considerably lighter?

[Giles]

It feels a lot lighter and it is more breathable and pliable…

[BD81]

Worn under the 240 on a cold canadian morning.

[neph93]

Very nice indeed! The IHSH-240 is looking pretty sweet too.
