I had an older version of this shirt, but made of the same fabric I documented the shrinkage. I’ll find the post for you.

@popvulture:

Cool, thank you! You think a hot soak in the tub would give me less? Would be awesome if so — I feel like I have more control over a soak. Hey, only one way to find out, I guess…

Here you go… one of my first posts on the forum: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5354.msg364686#msg364686

Cool, thanks so much, man! I think the main reason I like to tub soak or wash is that I've ended up with quite a few of the aforementioned weird marks when I use the washer. I think it's just because it tumbles stuff around and a lot of times fabric will get crumpled up in weird ways and can cause a bit of odd looking color loss (I know this is probably a little different than the white marks you were talking about, but nonetheless a similar concern). Plus my washer SUCKS. Don't think I'll be taking Consumer Reports' advice again

The amount of shrinkage you got sounds good, though. I'm gonna try for a hot soak soon and see what I get. I'll try to remember to measure before and after.

Thank you @Rusted
I'm really enjoying mixing and matching my RRL with my new IH acquisitions

Love my IHSH-218.
The fades are coming, but very slow.

ETA on a restock in L/XL for this shirt? Will probably treat myself over Xmas and have a few things in mind, this being top of the list. If restock not expected anytime soon I will move down to item two and pick this up at later date.

Also, the description says this shirt will fade slowly and develop profound character. It’d be great to see any examples of this “profound character” as I’m generally a sucker for anything that progresses slowly…

[jerkules]

Oops, see there are 4 XL’s currently in stock. Hmm, do I go XL and hot wash or wait for an L that I will always have to treat carefully and cold wash…

[Jett129]

I would say get the smallest XL and be able to wash/dry with impunity never having to worry about shrinkage.

That shirt looks really solid on you @xtcclassic

I basically treat all of my non-IH clothes like that one crazy ex that I ghosted.

For the record, it's February 26th, which makes it 218 Day 'round here.  Johnny was born this day 1932.  And if that's not cool enough–-how could that be not enough?---Johnny shares his birthday with Fats Domino and Mitch Ryder.  Get out your Detroit wheels and Johnny on, Iron Hearts.

I love it. And beside that. The compliment-factor with this shirt is quite high.
