@EdH Looks great! I’ve got an identical one headed my way…looking forward to some summer weight IH!

@EdH looks great man!

What a fantastic fabric in person, super light and gauzy, it's going to be perfect for warm weather. Button and snap upgrades are the best...I really love that option when ordering direct from IHUK. Slam dunk again, keep 'em coming!

This is exactly the shirt I'd hoped to wear for the summer months.

Incredibly light, fabric is "gauzy" (which is a great thing) as I've seen others mention and the look, the attention to detail and quality are all what you'd expect...

Cheers

@budpatch @jaysomethin Shirts look great fellas! Agree that the fabric is something special and will be perfect for summer. Now we just need more colors and a short sleeve version

Wow, my new favorite IH spring/summer shirt. I love the texture of the fabric and it definitely feels so good on the skin, the color is absolutely beautiful and a shortsleeved version would be amazing!

[motojobobo]

Short sleeve version!

Looks nice!

Here’s mine. Accidentally did white snaps instead of pearl but I think it came out great. Well done IH, it’s the perfect summer shirt. May do a hot wash and post measurements as I’m between sizes on this one and could use some tightening up. Second pic is outside and you can really see the texture.

The white looks great. I love my shirts with white snaps.

Guys, this shirt looks so good, but you’re not helping those of us waiting for the work shirt version!

I am dying

[Cskarev]

Amazing piece of clothing…

[SKT]

For anyone interested, I got quite a bit of tightening up from a hot wash and dry (almost too much) without any otherwise negative effects. Didn’t do a proper pre/post measuring but it was noticeable. Loving this shirt

Good to know, thanks @SKT. (Im)patiently awaiting the workshirt version.

[SKT]

@Twistlock I promise the wait will be worth it.

Gentlemen,
I could use some advice on sizing since I will have to order over the internet and I do not have access to a try one of these on.

I measured several of my shirts today to compare to the IH measurements. I also measured my chest, belly and waist thinking that if I double the shirt measurements I could compare the two.

This is how they came out.
I am 5'-10", 193 #, chest measures 44, belly 43, waist 39, shoulders 20, (down 18# since starting gym membership in October, still working at it!)

I measured my body, (3) pair of my shirts I own that fit with room and compare to the IHSH L, XL
Actual. Shirts. IHSH Dimensions
Shoulders 20, 20, xl 18.6, xxl 19.6
Length NA, 31-34, xl 30.3, xxl 30.7
Chest P2P 44, 24-25, xl 22.7 (2x=45.4), xxl 23.6 (2x=47.2)
Waist. 39, 23.5-25, xl 21.7 (2x=43.4), xxl 22.6 (2x=45.2)
Opening 39, 24-25, xl 21.8 (2x=43.6), xxl 22.8 (2x=45.6)
Sleeves. NA, 24-24.5, xl 26.7 , xxl 27.1

Shoulders - looks like xxl would be minimum
Length - L & XXL will work
Chest - Looks like xxl is best match for shirt dimensions but would maybe equate to 47" chest which is too big.
Waist - Looks like xxl is best fit although a bit less than my shirts.
Opening - Looks like xxl is best fit, even though it is an inch less than my shirts, the circumference seems ok.

So given the above, would you recommend the xxl? I see they can shrink a bit and if I chose the large it might shrink to be too small.

What are your thoughts.
As an aside, the IH 777S in tag 36 is the best fit for me. I was able to try on in Chicago last month but did not try on the shirts. Bought a pair of slubbys :).
Thanks for your help.
