IHSH-189-BRN - 17oz Duck CPO Work Shirt - "The UnTucked" - Brown
-
The 3x fits perfectly! Already tried on over a thick long sleeve with comfort and now sitting with it over a loopwheel t. I think it would be fine by itself but the shirt will need to be broken in a bit before that. Stiff lol
-
@CosmoSix5 looking good dude!
-
@JoshC Thanks sir!
-
@CosmoSix5, I just misted mine heavily with water and threw it in the dryer. Hoping that all that tumbling will help with the stiffness...hah!

@Jcaz6996 dang dude, sorry to see that happen. I hope it can all be worked out.
Sounds like it already has been, having spoken to a couple of parties involved in the make-it-right department
-
Yeah sorry for the late update @guiltyparty have gone out of there way to secure a replacement shirt for me thanks a lot for sorting that out for me . ( so all sorted now
)
The packaging was definitely heavy duty bag just got thrown around in transport, maybe a double packaging would have been a better bet like IH brown paper bag with the plastic wrap. -
Fucking UPS

@guiltyparty "we're goin downtown..."

The hw pockets on this shirt were a concern for me. Now I wonder why all shirts don't have hand warmer pockets?

@Mister_Brue i exude confidence. In both my questionable decisions, and in IH resell value
-
@Graham looking sharp

Anyone have an experience with shrinkage after washing this duck material (this CPO specifically)? Thanks
Found this from a few years back;
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/488895It matches my experience with duck pants; lengths shrink noticeably and widths stay mostly the same.

After hearing from @jordanscollected about the potential for the duck to come up a bit in length with a hot wash, my intrigue got the better of me and I decided to try and see if I could shave off a centimetre or so from the length through washing, whilst still maintaining the sleeve length - which is a critical dimension for me!
The approach:
- pre-soak arms in a bowl of ice cold (literally) water for 20mins immediately before throwing in the washer
- 60degree wash / 800 spin / woolite
- Some gentle stretch to the arms after the wash alongside the general ‘re-shaping’ process when setting to hang dry on a hanger
The results are in.
Pre-wash dimensions:
- Chest 59.5cm
- Sleeves 69.5cm
- Length 81cm (!!!)
- Shoulder 53.5cm
Soaking the arms…
Post-wash dimensions:
- Chest 59.5cm (0cm diff)
- Sleeves 69.5cm (0cm diff - phew!!)
- Length 79.5cm (-1.5cm diff - woop!!)
- Shoulder 53cm (-0.5cm diff)
Post-wash photos (same outfit as pre-wash photos further up in this thread)…
Overall I am extremely pleased with the results. For me the 1.5cm that has been shaved off the length just dials the piece in a lot more, although may not come across that well in the pre/post photos.
