IHSH-68-ind - 12oz Wabash Work Shirt - Indigo

And I'm hoping for the black one too.  Because too much Iron Heart is apparently not enough.  Thanks for the clues @Giles and @Alex.  There is an old Japanese proverb about how the future is writ in water.

…......And the IHSH-68-BLK with the new 4-hole aluminium buttons will release at the same time....

[Giles]

And, we will make a new version of the IHSH-68-BLK, it will have black cat's eye buttons.  It will be the IHSH-266 - releasing Sept

Buttons look good!

[profdbrk]

I'm delighted to hear that the cats are giving up their eyes for these buttons.  It's the least they can do.  Looking forward to the shirts.

Like a complete noob I posted this to the IHSH-62-IND thread the other day and not here.

Here you go @profdbrk this is what you will have to look forward to. All honour to the spirits of the blind cats for sacrifices made in the construction of this shirt…

What a great shirt you all own …
Love the buttons on it.
Looks like they are discontinued!?

@Giles:

BUT.  The aluminium cat's eye buttons are not made any longer, so the new production run, will have these instead…

Beautiful shirt, hopefully it’ll be back in stock soon.

[LewisStonehouse]

Any idea when these are coming back in?

RESTOCK

But with 4 hole buttons

Hi . Iron Heart newbie here. I have an IHSH-33-Black in XS, which fits me well apart from being a bit snug around the belly (have a bit of a tummy!). Is there any shrink after several washes,  and would you guys recommend I go for an S this time instead ? Thanks !

[neph93]

I’d recommend you compare measurements. The work shirt is a different cut and has a wider body which may help accomodate your, ahem, girth. But if they measure up differently there is no guarantee that you need the same size.

As for shrinkage, there is some on very hot washes. Normal washing will not yield very much, but 1cm in all dimensions is do-able at high temperatures.

Was happy to wake up & see the restock email for these.  Grabbed an XL.  Now if only the weather would cool down.  It’s supposed to be 100* this weekend.

Haha I cant say I had the same reaction. Have wanted this shirt for a while now but my wallet definitely wasnt expecting this. Here we go again…

Its funny, this shirt was on my restock alert too, soon after I first discovered IH. It in some way symbolised to me IH's core aesthetic, and just seems to be a wardrobe must have. Great choice @hoppy_IPA congrats, it really is a beautiful bit of kit!

@jordanf I've felt your pain, the time will come. I randomly got mine last month, before the restock, in the for sale section here. Heres hoping the day arrives for you soon, cheers.

[JDelage]

Placed an order right away. I've been waiting for that one to come back for a while.

@rocket:

a 90°C wash should be able to do that. But please keep in mind the arm length will shrink too. And less the shoulders and PtoP, as well.

How much shrinkage in the shoulders and P2P with this washing method?

[neph93]

@teddyjay  a 90C wash will get approximately 1cm in the horizontal measurements, and possibly as much 1.5cm in the arms and body length. Difficult to be precise there are many variables at play.
