IHSH-260-PPL - Ultra Heavy Flannel Tartan Check Western Shirt - Purple Rain

[Nskelton]

@Alex_24 There's also a work shirt version coming if I'm not mistaken, it could have slightly larger measurements.

[Giles]

There is indeed…..

(Didja' ever run into one of those really expensive home front emergencies that steals all the extra cash?  I'm hoping for another UHF this year now when I'd budgeted for two.)

I always feel bad when a shirt I really want doesn’t come in at the size I need. Even more so when I fill in the form to show interest. I’m still debating now… if Self Edge get my size. But it’s just a half inch under.

I bought this today despite not getting the "no quibble exchange/refund".  I'd prefer that over the "no questions asked exchange/refund". /s

Now that I have a purple IH shirt and an M65, I will be back when the SR denim returns.

@joephoto, in my experience you can easily get a half size shrink from a hot wash, even without the dryer.  Just something to consider.

Beautiful shirt. Thoughts on fit, fellas? Large, but a little tight under the armpit, even though there seems to be some room there. My large IHSH 247 was a better fit from the get go, and the measurements are marginally smaller; P2P on this 21.5 compared to 21.7; shoulders 17.8 compared to 18. Will this stretch out? Shrink? Do I need XL? Thanks for your time.

I think it will relax after some wear …I would just say, wear it hard and wash it cold.
IMHO it looks good on you man. Nice fit

Looks good but looks a little tight over the shoulders, which will affect how it feels across the chest. It won’t stretch but will shrink on anything more than a very gentle 30C wash.

I would consider sizing up and then giving the XL a hot wash. You’ll end up with a shirt inbetween the L and XL measurements and that should be perfect for you.

Your advise is always sage @neph93

Now, neophyte that I am with regards to IH, I know the source of this advice means it has to be taken. Here’s hoping that there are XLs still in stock Monday. It’s quite the science buying things on here, isn’t it? Thanks to all.

It is, I think, a marginal call, but it seems a wise one. Thanks.

@Richard it can be complicated [emoji1]I just think that any shrinkage at all (which isn’t unlikely) and it will be too small to wear.

Lol regarding the complication. But it’s a seriously lovely shirt, so any trouble is worth it. Have emailed IH. If the XL is still available, it will be the first ever XL item I’ve brought. I’m mostly a small…...... But these measurements are so precise, and margins so small.

I absolutely agree !

My wife has shirt envy. I have a Pendleton shirt that I bought off eBay but was not the listed size was too small. Vendor didn’t want it returned at their cost to the USA so my wife has it. Will now have to see how it measures up against these shirts to see if I can buy her one of these. She keeps complaining IH should make women’s garments.

@hoppy_IPA:

^yep I grabbed a XXXL soon as they dropped too.

welp.. apparently in my haste whilst ordering this shirt I selected DOUBLE-XL instead the TRIPLE-XL.  I was excited to receive my first UHF & then bummed to find out I goofed.
Silver lining… UHF is amazing to get a hold of for your first time & the colors on the 260 are lovely.  Thankfully SelfEdge has a few XXXL's in stock so I ordered ordered one from my trusty ol' US plug

I have some bad news for you. They do. By no means every shirt, possibly only 10-20%, comes in a Ladies S and M. @Giles stocks only a very few, however it is sometimes possible to get others over from Japan.

Oh no! The drops of shirts you know are going to sell and you really want can be quite stressful. Glad it worked out.
