IHSH-295-BB - 14oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Black/Black
-
I just received this beast from IH Hamburg and I would like to know what the shrinkage on this is going to be like. Right now, this is just about perfect and I'm a bit concerned if the sleeves would shrink after a soak or a wash. Anyone experienced any shrinkage on these, please comment. As usual, a phenomenal quality.
-
Thanks Gentlemen. I'm going to keep this one and unlike the other IH shirts that I normally wash after a week of wear, I might prolong the wash cycle on this guy.
-
Is there any consistency between different IH shirts on the placement of the snaps? For example., I'm wearing this shirt today and as it can be seen in the image that the opening remains opened up after the last snap button while my other IH shirts do not show such an effect. It dosn't matter but I just wanted to ask if there is any consistency followed when planing the buttons across all IH shirts.
Again, I'm not complaining but just thought of asking.
-
The placement is fairly consistent, I'm pretty sure that the opening is due to flare because your hips are wider than your waist, and maybe exacerbated by the thickness/stiffness of the denim, the only way to stop this happening would be to have a snap very low down on the placket, which actually would restrict movement.
-
Thanks for the reply @Giles I just compared measuring my 13 oZ Military Serge and it is about 2 cm less compared to this 295. I adore this shirt more than anything else I have owned so far. Stunning beauty.

@goosehd looks like you’re already ‘wanted’ for your good sense of humor
-
@the246guy mine does not appear to flare out as your photo shows. Does it still do that on yours when you are standing up straight? Mine flares out when I'm sitting but I think all my shirts do that.
-
I don't think I've ever experiences this type of flare.
Perhaps there's a slight crease causing this. Have you tried ironing that part of the shirt?
-
What is 2cm less?
I meant the distance between the last snap and the end length of the shirt compared to my Military Serge 13 oz. Like I said, I'm just ignoring this and enjoying wearing this shirt.
@Oaktavia Thanks for that pic. Mine flares up when standing which is why I started to compare it against my other IH shirts which don't. It was annoying, but I've learnt to accept and just ignore it.
-
I’m still confused if you’re talking about the width of the opening at the last snap, or the length of the placket below the last snap with the 2 cm thing. As for the “flare” it’s barely noticeable but I think it’s probably due to the width of your hips and different measurements at the opening of the shirt.

Here is a pic that is easy to relate to what I'm saying. It can be seen that the length here is 14.2 cm compared to ca. 11.5 cm to 12 cm on my other IH shirts and my question was is this the reason for the flare that I'm experiencing?
-
Okay. Thanks for clarifying.
So, the length of the placket is 2cm longer on this shirt. I don’t think this has anything to do with why the opening of the shirts hangs differently, but if it does, it would be because your body is wider at the place where that snap closes over the middle of you.
I expect that where the bottom snap is on the placket entirely depends on the overall length of any given shirt in your size when the pattern is drawn. I imagine this will vary, since the length of the different shirts also varies.

@the246guy do you have a picture of you wearing the shirt? Not a close up of the buttons. It gives us a better view of the shirt/flare. I personally have no flare in no mather what kinda IH shirt i wear. Also is your shirt around the length that is stated on the IHUK size chart of this particular shirt? Does this shirt fit tighter then your serge shirt? If your serge shirt is the around the same measurements as your 295 and it doesn’t flare then i would say there is something going on, but that’s just my 2 cents
-
I got it from IH Hamburg and I cannot say if the measurements are as per the charts here in IH UK. I will take a better picture of me wearing the shirt later today.
-
@the246guy if i’m not mistaken IH germany handels the same charts as IHUK
