IHSH-235-OLV - 13oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Olive

The copper snaps make this shirt even better than it already is.

I think a bunch of us did the copper snap upgrade. Definitely makes the shirt look a little more rugged.

Shirt appreciation post. I’ve worn this shirt a lot lately and it keeps getting better. Still super crinkly. Still substantial. Looking forward to more evo.

Mine is a little on the small side, but I wore it this weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the fit when open. I was also pleasantly surprised by how each wear seems to leave its mark. The evil is real!

Yours looks lovely.

Thanks Reuben!  I have enjoyed wearing this one now that the weather has cooled. I’ve kind of been taking pleasure in roughing in it up. I think the texture asks for that type of treatment.

As I impatiently wait for mine to arrive, how’s the shirt material compared to UHF?

[SKT]

Think of what the opposite of a UHF would feel like and you’re probably close. I mean that in a good way. It is stiff, crinkly, heavy, substantial. I really love it and now hope I’m not scaring anyone else thinking of getting one because it’s awesome stuff. One of my favorite IH pieces.

@nvrp813 I'd say it's somewhere between a chino and light denim in feel, as @SKT says it's kinda rigid but not in an uncomfortable way. Not really comparable to UHF other than it is a heavyweight garment of the highest quality

[SKT]

@LewisStonehouse  is spot on. The fabric is great and has tons of evo potential.

What is the shrinkage on this is like? I'm considering getting it in size M as getting a size S and having it shrunk after several wears would mean that I have to live with a shorter sleeve. Any ideas?

I’ve washed mine on a normal (for me) machine wash. 30C and 800RPM. No shrinkage at all.

[LewisStonehouse]

None on mine (albeit the work shirt variant) either. I think if you avoid excessive heat and agitatition (I.e. spin) you’ll be fine

Quick and dirty shot as this fantastic shirt was just dropped off by UPS. Size Large

[SKT]

@nvrp813 Great fit and a fantastic shirt. Cooper snaps look so good on it as well. Curious what you think of the fabric now that you can compare?

The description of ‘complete opposite of UHF’ is accurate, lol. Very rigid and reminds me of raw denim.

What took me by surprise, in a good way, is how trim it fits compared to the IHSH-309-PUR, yet measurements are very close. The smaller opening (20.9” vs 21.5”) must be the driver.

[SKT]

Well the fit looks spot on to me and you shouldn’t get any shrinkage if cold washed (as the folks have stated above).  It’s funny how small differences in measurements can affect the overall fit of a shirt. I’ve found that out the hard way on a couple of items.
