      @protokultur if you are considering picking up the IHSH-96…go for it. Its a killer shirt, nice and lightweight for the spring / summer.

      Second this…..though I will add that I find it a great weight almost year round, depending on what its layered with/under.  I wore mine out in ~45 degree weather today with a thin undershirt only and I was fairly comfortable.  I've also worn it comfortably up to about 75 degrees.

        @DigitalPopsicle I haven't worn it in warm weather yet, but it does keep me real comfortable under a UHF in -15 to - 20 C. How does it breathe in the summer with no under shirt?

          The waffle makes it a fairly open weave feeling to me.  I haven't worn it without an undershirt, but it does breathe well.

              Sounds like a strange question, but those of you that own this shirt, would you consider it "stretchy"?

                Not a strange question, I would consider this shirt a bit stretchy.

                  Mine comes tomorrow….hopefully:)
                  I will let you know if it is fact "stretchy" @Wlemon
                  Im looking forward to this lighter shirt for now when its slowly warming up around here.

                    Hi @Wlemon, by caparison to my other 12oz shirts yes. By no means a technical response but if I hold the front placket and a side seam, half width, it will happily without too much stress, stretch around an inch.

                        It has a reputation for being stretchy. The general advice is to size down as a result. It is a function of the waffle knit. The IHTL-1301’s and IHTL-1213’s are the same.

                          Thats so weird because that's what I did.I went down a size. from XL down to L..it came last Friday:
                          I opened the bag…eyeballed the shirt thinking right off the bat...doesnt look right.
                          Tried it on and Immediately  "Noped" it right back to Gosport the same day.
                          Tomorrow should come the XL.
                          We will see.

                            @neph93 that's good to know. That was the reason I asked. I wasn't sure if I should get the XL or the XXL. Knowing that I'll probably get the XL instead.

                                I’d like to add that I don’t have one, but if you go through this thread you’ll see it discussed.

                                It is a work shirt too so wider and shorter on average than westerns.

                                  I had one of these and sold it on because I was always fussing with the placket where it stretched across my belly and at the opening when seated. It fit fine, but made for a strange drape if sized trim the way I like my shirts. I think with a bigger size I may have been happier.

                                    Not the most Glowing review ive read yet - just messing @sabergirl Im hoping it all comes together this time.But I know what you mean about the drape and so on.
                                    I think I will have to be careful wearing this one.I don't want the Waffle to get caught on something.

                                    And basically just a great ender–--

                                    Yea but still

                                      I did the same, though for essentially the opposite reason. Mine was a bit large, and because of the stretchiness, it just seemed to sag and look kinda shapeless.  Maybe a size smaller would've worked better for me.

                                        The Waffle has landed and I couldn't be happier with it.
                                        Right outta the gate it is just so soft.

                                        After wearing my new IHSH-62-IND for the last two weeks straight.(Im just following the instructions telling me to wear it as long as possible before washing it.) This IHSH-96 is like wearing tissue paper by comparison.
                                        These pics do no justice to this Blue.This shirt…outside in direct sun--Sings!
                                        There is epic engineering going on with all of these clothes gentlemen. Its just all so "Substantial" and I mean that with the very best of intentions.

                                        And now

                                          I'm too wearing mine today and was just enjoying my coffee outside so couldn't resist attempting some pics to help showcase your point as to how the fabric reacts in the sun. The fit, contrast, texture and comfort are all A1!

                                          Enjoy it fella, once again, it looks great!
