IHSH-127-V2 - Ultra Heavy Buffalo Check Westerns
-
@Jii:
Had to sell all my IH shirts a few years ago due to weight loss. Today I popped by my local IH dealer after lunch just for fun, tried this one on and you all can guess what happened next
It just felt too good not to buy it. Also wearing my almost 7 year old 634s'.Hmm?!

I can wear an L, but I prefer a looser fit on the UHF's as a general rule, plus I have a little leeway if I manage to shrink it….
So, this is definitely a bit of a necro thread to resurrect, but I guess my question applies to the UHF fabrics in general.
I have one of these in purple XL. How much could I expect it to shrink with a hot machine wash and hang dry? The shirt was always a tad big on me, and I've lost some weight since getting it, so I wouldn't mind if the shirt were to shrink an inch in all dimensions. Having never washed one of these on hot though, I just figured I'd double check it wouldn't be any more than that. Doubtful but good to be safe. Thoughts?

I don't believe you would get more than an inch of shrink in all dimensions with a hot wash. In my experience I have gotten about a half size worth of shrink out of the UHF fabrics in a hot wash.

Awesome—thank you! That's about what I'd imagined. It'd be awesome if it'd go down a full size but figured that was wishful thinking. Even still, it's an amazing shirt and makes for a fantastic layer as is.

@Dmart - luckily, you have a ton of options, and variety.
I tend to wear the IH 1610 Tees under most of my gear - they are a tad short on me (I'm 6'2) to wear by themselves, but that's also why there is the 1610L (I have not gotten any colors other than the Olive). As a stand alone white t that is a bit more trim in the sleeves and body and also a hair longer, the Utilitees are brilliant, and available from Sonders Supplies.
I also really like the Trophy Clothing and RATS tees from Sonders - I bought an oversized RATS tee and shrunk it for length for a 90s vintage kinda vibe - the materials is crazy soft.
