IHT-1600-WHT - 11oz Cotton Knit Crew Neck Short Sleeved T-Shirt - White

[Oaktavia]

I love the white and the cream Ines too but I'd be too scared to wear them around myself.

[weftyarn]

That is an awesome fit, @jerkules

I can only second you - the price tag was a line for me too,
but once l crossed it and put the tee on…. my goodness.

I have the Cream and White too,
but Black & Olive are Spaghetti Bolognesable and Kebabable, if you know what I mean

[jerkules]

Thanks @weftyarn  I guess with the white/cream, you could always have a fun indigo project if the worst did happen! I love a white tee, but against my wishes I have to treat them as somewhat disposable. My 18 month old is a messy beast…

[jerkules]

Love that red W poking out. Don’t want to take the T-shirt off.

Spring weather means more 1600 time. 5'11" 185 wearing size XL.

[weftyarn]

Awesome, @jordanscollected

And I totally agree - this tee makes spring even better. And spring is already my favorite time of the year.

Took the 1600 with me on our trip to Mallorca - this thing is really hikable!!

*1.93m, 95kg, wearing XXL

Looking forward to rock these all summer!

I’m about to pull the trigger on one of these bad muthatruckers. I’m just really torn on sizing. The XL seems perfect if there is that 1.5cm of shrinkage. The large (which is my normal IH size seems a bit small). Guess I’m wondering what folks are seeing on the shrinkage scale…

[sabergirl]

Not much shrinkage, but almost no stretch either. If in doubt, go larger IMO

Ok. That’s great advice @sabergirl
Selfedge has an XL in stock. Their measurements seem slightly trimmer than what IH has posted and are about perfect for me I think. The L on IH seems like it might be a bit too small in all dimensions EXCEPT length which is the only one that seems a bit long on the XL at selfedge. Such a tricky decision.

[sabergirl]

Self edge measures differently. I would trust the IHUK measurements

Hey @sabergirl one last question…that “not much shrinkage” you’re getting, is that on a low heat or a hang dry?

[sabergirl]

Warm machine wash, tumble dry.

Thanks a ton!! This helps…though I’m still not quite sure which size to go for…you’re probably spot on with the go a size up advice.

Welp, I’m in the 1600 club!! Pulled the trigger on the XL. Should be a nice relaxed fit.

[weftyarn]

Looking forward to see fit pics @Mizmazzle

These Tees are amazing. Wearing the Cream today.

[neph93]

They are awesome shirts @Mizmazzle. You’ve made your choice now, but I agree with @sabergirl that XL to be safe is a good choice. I found that the first run of these shrunk appreciably, but later runs have not.

For reference, I use L in these and XL in UHF’s. However I normally go smaller if I think I can get away with it, rather than playing safe.

[weftyarn]

I have all four colors of the new run and barely notice any shrinkage post wash (60deg, low spin cycle).

I can measure my washed XXLs if anyone is interested
I have no pre wash measurements though.

[Mizmazzle]

@neph93 I normally wear a Large in UHF and went with an XL in the 1600….hope it fits ok. I ended up buying from Self Edge.....don't want to bash anyone here or anything, but wasn't too impressed with the customer service. Sort of thought at the last minute to just go with my normal size large...oh well, the XL will be just slightly roomier than the Large im hoping anyhow.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried drying on a higher temp to induce a bit more shrinkage?

[jordanscollected]

@Mizmazzle I have dried washed and dried my 1600 on high temp and you get some shrinkage off the bat, but with wear it stretches back out to original measurements IMO.

I am 5'11" 185 lb and wear xl in UHF and I bought an xl in this. It fits perfect in the body for how I want my t-shirts, slightly loose but by no means baggy. I only wish the length was taken up about 1", but I wear it as is.

If you are a large in a UHF, the xl may run a bit big for your liking, but you'll soon know. Self edge has been great CS for me in the past, but I've also heard stories like you stated, where they are nowhere near IHUK level of help.

I look forward to pics.
