              I have a TFH/Googies shirt that combines a Madras weight and pattern with seersucker elements. Only some of the plaid elements carry the seersucker puckering. This not only gives the fabric a cool look and texture, it also makes it a bit better for hot weather, as the fabric tends to stick to your skin less and thus facilitate the free movement of air and dissipation of heat beneath the garment. So you get the benefits of both warm weather fabrics, Madras and seersucker, without looking like typical hickory stripe seersucker.

              Fabric winds up looking like this:

              Think it, be it.

                  Agree that this pattern is awesome. I love my 220.

                  I'd definitely love to see IH venture into more lightweight shirting fabrics like the 220/226 (and flannels). It doesn't even have to be madras but the 5.5 oz weight makes it a perfect Spring/Fall shirt.

                          Can anyone tell me if this shirt shrank much if any after a wash. It looks great and I would love to pick one up for spring. My usual shirt size is XXL and the measurements look perfect as they are now with maybe a little room to spare.

                            It shouldn’t shrink with a normal wash, but if you hot wash it at 60-90C it probably will.

                              @neph93 thank you…I usually do a normal wash so that should work.

                                Mine has at least 6 washes at 20 degC or cold water and it hasn't shrunk at all. You should be ok @JJ .

                                The journey is the objective.

                                    This was really helpful! Just bought the IH Madras second hand and it came totally puckered. Like crazy, really. I was wondering what the pre owner had done with that shirt…

                                    I had never heard of seersucker before 😅

                                    So I assume this 3D effect is „activated“ by washing? The product pictures look very plane / 2d.

                                    I know this sounds crazy, but knowing „it’s meant to look crumpled“ makes it more comfortable to wear it 😅

                                    Use it or lose it.
