IHSH-307-OLV - 13oz Military Serge Work Shirt - Olive
-
@Denman-John I’m lazy and would just wear it till folds are forgotten…bet it’ll take only a few wears (if not just one). I also just purchased this it’s very nice.
-
@jdwaid @goosehd @Boit Thanks for the advice. I wore the shirt this morning for about an hour walking the dog. I think I’ll end up giving it a soak as the creases are in there pretty heavy.
This is my first serge shirt and really like the feel of it. This will definitely be heavy in the rotation!
The shirt is greener than what is captured in the photo.

Looks good @Denman-John. One of my favorite IH shirts.
-
@Denman-John I used to have this in the military cut. Really liking how it looks as a work shirt.
-
@Mizmazzle I can’t say enough good things about this shirt. The material, cut and colour are incredible and more serge will be coming my way in the future!

Cross-post from WAYWT. I’ve been wearing this shirt everywhere the last year. Hard labor, camping, yard work, pretty much anywhere I need a tough outer layer. It’s worn in nicely and has become one of my go-to pieces. The color loss is subtle and texture feels both soft and crispy at the same time.

@Denman-John thank you! I hand wash in cold water, light agitation at first and then 30 mins soak, then clean water soak / rinse and lay flay to dry. I found there was about 1/2" shrinkage in the chest and length the first time I got it wet, so be careful if you're worried about that. The serge relaxed back out eventually but it took some time.
-
Glad this shirt is in continuous production. It might have to become one of my first IH shirts, if not the first.
-
@jerkules great shirt, but what shoes are you wearing?
-
@jerkules the RedWings I suppose! Thanks!
-
Any target date for restock of these?

I washed this shirt for the first time at 30 degrees, 400rpm inside out. Pre-soaked. Hang-dry afterwards and I am left with some creases.. on the inside they are a bit white. Someone else wrote about this too. Is 400rpm not considered low-spin cycle? I am disappointed. So many wear days; expensive shirt. Perhaps better to state no-spin on the washing instructions?
-
It appears you did good in turning the shirt inside out prior to wash as the white abrasion lines looks to be within the interior? I’d imagine the crease could easily be removed with a soak or warm iron
-
The creases should come out with ironing.
-
I have had the western version for years and whilst I wash it sparingly, it does look like someone has tried doing origami with it when it comes out the washer. I stick mine on a hanger, pull it taught, then once it is bone dry, iron it on a light heat, incrementing the heat slightly as I go.
As the guys have mentioned above, they will come out, don't worry!
-
Thanks for the quick replies. I tried ironing before but did not help. I will soak and iron again. Cheers
