IHSH-327-IND - 6oz Wabash Long Sleeve Work Shirt - Indigo

[jerkules]

Has anyone tried to shrink this fabric? The product description says no shrinkage up to 30C. I'm thinking of giving mine a hot wash, but I'm not sure how hot to go. Ideally, I'd want to lose around a half size. TIA.

Mine didn't shrink with normal wash (30°C), but you should achieve some shrinkage with higher temperatures and tumble drying, however also indigo loss.

Thank you @endo . Think I'll do it incrementally; 40°C with a 30-minute tumble to begin with, and go higher if needed.

Sharing my shrink test in case it’s helpful.

Washed at 40°C, 600 RPM spin. In my machine this cycle lasts about 50 minutes. I then tumble dried for 30 minutes on a “Synthetic” program, which I believe is cooler than cotton a cotton program.

Before \ after (inches):
Shoulder: 19 \ 18.75
Chest: 23.5 \ 23
Back length: 30.5 \ 29.75
Sleeve: 26.5 \ 26

Glad I went gentle as looks like there’s the potential for considerable shrinkage!

Shirt is still a little damp, so hard to say if there’s been much indigo loss. If there’s anything noticeable, I will put some photos up once it’s dry.

Any chance we might see this one in the foreseeable future? Or maybe the 12oz?

@PBowman-0 this fabric is proving hard to rerun, I think it will be unlikely that this ever returns

@PBowman-0 ..cheeky self plug, we still have a couple IHSH-327-IND in stock...

[datblonddood]

Oh no! I've been really waiting on this!

[goosehd]

@Alex Is that because no one wants to weave it or is it the treatment process? Also, all wabash or just this variation?

[matt_rost]

Because of @Mr-Eddy I was able to get one too. My absolute favorite at high temperatures and most worn shirt during the height of summer. Worn 35 days and 4 washes so far.

[endo]

suits you very well @matt_rost loving mine too

[matt_rost]

@endo Thank you! The shirt is an absolute must have. At the 12 oz. I opted for a smaller size but not here. That was the right decision...

[SKT]

@matt_rost like you, I was able to find one in my size with the help of @Mr-Eddy It should arrive this week and I’m very excited to have one. Yours looks great!

[Matt]

Everyone!!!

Please stop looking at @Mr-Eddy ’s store immediately!!!

Filthy shared that secret with me a while ago and I was selfishly keeping it to myself. Please carry on as if you’d never seen it.

That is all.

Obviously I’m just kidding. By all accounts @Mr-Eddy is a fantastic guy with a great store and I hope he has all the success in life he deserves.

But seriously, forget about the store and move along.

[matt_rost]

@SKT Thanks dude! Yeah a very friendly guy. As soon as you have it I would like to see pics
