Nice you beat me to it Mike….
Has anyone else done an kind of shrink test?
I want to be able to wash and dry without worry too…

I’m leaning towards grabbing an XXL

I'm going to go get shit faced and I will report back to you in a couple hours

I'll be interested to see how something with that many different fabrics and insulation reacts to a hot soak. It seems like you could get some rippling and other effects if the various fabrics shrink at different rates.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yes that was a consideration. But I am doing this for a dear friend and for science.

[Joberwocky]

"for science" certainly gives it an air of importance. @Filthy has to walk so all of us can run

@Filthy is always good like that, DIY master who DGAF and helps his friends.

I would have gotten one of these if I didn't have the IHSH-49. I think everyone should have a blanket-lined IH Western. They're rad. And this one looks very similar to the old 49, same denim weight and perhaps a couple shades darker denim.

We briefly discussed the possibilities of a trip through the hotel dryer. But I am afeared of possible potential rouge curly-whirlies. So that will have to wait until I go home. I only use public laundry in an utter emergency.

@Filthy It cracks me up how much of your shrinking you do on the road.

"I need a room with a large tub, boiling water out of the tap, and a balcony from which I can air-dry things."

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I am a live in the moment kind of dude so you have seize every opportunity.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Okay folks after one hot soak for a couple hours, I got:

Ptp 26 ️ 25.6

Sleeve opening 5.1 ️ 4.8

Sleeve length 28 ️ 27

Body length 32 ️ 31.5

Shirt is still wet, but the shrinkage is evident by the amount of roping I got on the cuffs and hem.

Using a hair dryer in the closet to make a makeshift dryer.

Hopefully I don't burn the hotel down

[Paul9221]

LOL!  You're a real asset to the club, Mike!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

thanks

Mike's making the most of a day off

[Paul9221]

Can't believe how much shrinkage you got on the sleeve, and it's not even done drying yet.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah I was surprised too. But I measured the same sleeve while the shirt was inside out at the same point on the seam.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

One final update for now. So as not to turn this thread into the neurotic filthy shrinkage thread…

Hair dryer shut itself off. So I just put the shirt on the back of a chair right side out in front of the A/C. I don't notice any of the adverse effects McClain had mentioned previously. I would like to get a little more shrinkage so I might hot wash it and run it through the dryer eventually. But I will be in West Virginia as least 18 more days.

Thanks everyone, it was fun.
