Thanks to the sizing advice I got here, I chose the medium and happy with the fit. My concerns about tucking have been addressed. This is after one wash. Quality is exactly as I expected. My only complaint is the relatively small diameter cuffs. Hard to wear a watch under there.

This shirt is making it hard to hold out on the last couple uhfs! Hoping the timing works out. How’s the hand on this thing?

[flannel slut]

@WhiskeySandwich considering this is a chambray, very cronchy.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@flannel-slut it does look that way in pics. I'm sure it'd soften up tho, ya?

[flannel slut]

@WhiskeySandwich I’ve only worn mine twice but I would assume so bud

I just picked one of these up and love it. It’s just a hair big for me…wondering what you guys have experienced regarding washing and shrinkage?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SKT yooo, wore mine to work for the first day today. It was also a little large but def glad I didn’t size down. Washed it cold when I first got it, threw it in the dryer - negligible shrinkage but I didn’t fully dry it. Probably will next time just to tighten it up. I think this one will get regular wash/dry routine rather than any special treatment. I think it’ll drape nicely once it softens up. I was even thinking about overdye gray a little. I have a feeling this will get some nice fuzz texture with a lot of wash/drying and might shrink a little, cuz you can feel some stretch in it.

[SKT]

@WhiskeySandwich good to hear. Yeah the texture is amazing I think. I’ll try to do a before after measurement and start with a warm wash and dry. It’s such a great color in person too.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SKT the texture is awesome and I’m sure washing will make it even more so. I do like the color, but if it starts lightening up to a baby blue I was thinking of doing a rit gray just lightly. Keep us posted on your shrink results. I was going easy as I was afraid of overdoing it.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I think this capture the texture pretty well

[SKT]

Did a warm wash and halfway dry on low and here’s what happened. You could probably get more but I’m happy with where it ended up. Second pic is color comparison to my 4 year old IHSH-13

[WhiskeySandwich]

wasn’t expecting it to turn the water so purple! First handwash

[iammortalcombat]

Got this in today. Already gave it a warm soak and quick warm dry to bring down the sizing some. Spring kind of came and went already but hopefully can wear this anytime we dip into the low 70s or below

[Rococo]

@iammortalcombat How much did it go down with the drying? Significantly or just a little? And did you wash/dry alone or with other clothes?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@jevans41 Ive been washing mine hot in the machine and doing hot dry every wash, barely any shrinkage. Holding color also, despite turning the water colors

[Rococo]

@WhiskeySandwich just did mine on warm/warm and got noticeable shrinkage, especially in the arms (at least .5 inch) and chest.

Does this thing soften up after a wash? Mines still crispy after like 10 all day wears.
