IHSH-238-BLK - Ultra Heavy Flannel Crazy Check Work Shirt - Black

[ARoc]

Quick question IH faithful. How much can one reasonably expect a IHSH 238 to shrink with a hot wash and tumble dry (is this even recommended at a high temp to ensure maximum shrinking?)?

I am normally an XL in UHF Western Shirts at 195lb, 5'10 in height and my wife was able to get me an XXL in these. I've never owned an UHF Works Shirt and I definitely want to keep it if possible.

I’ve gotten about a half inch of shrink with a warm wash and hang dry on 2 of my UHF’s. I suspect you could get at least an inch of shrink with a hot wash and dry in the machine

@ARoc you can certainly maximise the shrinkage from a hot wash with a tumble dry. It will change the nature of the fabric somewhat, as that kind of abuse damages the cotton fibres. So expect a different hand when you’re done.

Otherwise @gaseousclay  speaks the truth half a size in all directions is about normal. You’ll struggle to turn an XXL into an XL, but you’ll get close.

Really appreciate the feedback! Just wanted to find out if I could make this size work but it seems it’s not in the cards. I’m definitely not comfortable changing the nature of the fabric as you point out. Thanks again!

FYI for the small folk…  Possibly the last unsold size small 237/238 on the planet is at Division Road right now.  It would be great if someone could go buy it soon so I don't have to be tempted any longer.

@Stuart.T:

Thought I'd give a workshirt a go…XL way too small. Side gussetts are really high too. Just ordered the last xxl western instead. Note to self, I have the wrong body type for workshirts

[emoji106]great fit

As we hit winter in Australia, seeing this makes me kick myself I didn't know much about Iron Heart at the time of its release. This is without doubt a grail item for myself, and that is saying something because I do not wear red. I understand it is extinct, but can you guys please bring it back at some point? Or something extremely similar?

I think everyone has an item or two like that from the back catalogue. For me it is the grey IHSH-64, the IHV-03 and the black IHSH-107.

The bad news is that re-do’s are rare and normally take a while if they do happen (that is to say years). The good news is that there is always new fire in the pipeline.

There is also the “Want to buy” thread to post in and the “For Sale” thread to watch. Always worth a punt.
