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

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

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…
-
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. -
Hey @sabergirl one last question…that “not much shrinkage” you’re getting, is that on a low heat or a hang dry?
-
Looking forward to see fit pics @Mizmazzle
These Tees are amazing. Wearing the Cream today.
-
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.
-
@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 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.I'm wondering if anyone has tried drying on a higher temp to induce a bit more shrinkage?
-
@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.

@jordanscollected thanks for the info. Yeah, I’ve finally figured out my shirt and pants sizing preferences. Pretty new to the high end clothing game. Tee shirts are another story haha. They are proving a bit trickier to get dialed in. I see IH has two size large left but I went with the XL from Self edge because IH was out of that size. Unfortunately SE’s return policy is store credit only and they don’t have a size large. Haha. I’m juggling here for sure. If I need to send back the XL I’ll have store credit with SE but no 1600 unless I drop another 200 with IH (to meet shipping) to hopefully snag one of the Larges before they sell out…eh, who knows. Only the good folks of this forum could possibly understand this dilema haha
