IHSH-62-IND - 12oz Wabash Western Shirt - Indigo
-
Giles,
Any idea on the likely restock date for a small?
-
No worries - thanks for the update.

Correct….It helps stop creasing in the washer which will form high abrasion spots....
I think it keeps the fabric from having uneven dye loss when it forms creases while being tossed around and/or spinning.

Just picked this shirt up in XXL (my normal IH shirt size) Gave it a nice hot soak and hot wash and was able to get some decent shrinkage. Love the fit of this shirt with the extra length and the tapering silhouette. The fabric is top notch as well. This thing is warm and feels like it's going to last a lifetime! One question. Has anyone tumble dried this shirt?

^ Agreed! This is the most robust shirt from IH that can take a beating and still retain it's originality. I love the Wabash next to my NIN.

Keep it up with the evo pics! It gives me something to look forward to, as I sit here patiently waiting for a size large to pop up on restock or MP.

Nice fit @Griffwald
And I can only agree to what’s been said on how sturdy it is.
The black is my main work shirt, and it can really take a beating! -
For info, for those of you finding it interesting and useful.
Did a 60 degrees celsius wash using a front loader machine.
No soaks or washes have been done previously.Found it a tad too large and too long before, so therefor I did not make use/wear it (the shirt) as much as I would have like to.
Am pleased with the result now after washing. Sleeves good, so is front and back.
Perhaps chest a bit too snug, especially as I like wearing a heavy sweater underneath, but still works and am sure it will stretch back out again. So no worries.

Thanks for posting that @[mention]Adero [/mention] . I’ve been contemplating buying a used one (all I can find, atm), that’s a size too big. So, this helped put shrinkage into perspective. US machines do not have a temp setting like yours; is 60 degrees Celsius hot?

Machines over here have settings as standard in general of and from 30 (cold/delicate), 40 (standard ev
eryday washing such as for cotton) 60 ( for cotton such as underwear and bed linen etc. ) and 90 ( bed linen). 90 being close to boiling point of 100 to give you an idea. Human normal body temperature is 37….
Most clothing companies advise for 30 or 40 degree washing cycles.
Don’t know what “hot” on an American machine would translate to I am afraid.
But hope the above helps a bit.

Hot on US machines is between 50-60C. From experience, IH wabash tolerates 90C if you want more shrink. That will be the highest setting on your machine. You’ll get a little more shrinkage that way.
One thing… I strongly encourage you to soak the shirt with the shower head before washing. It doesn’t have to sit in the water, it just needs to be wet before washing. And do air dry, not machine dry.
