@Shaun well I didn’t know that was an option …. Now you’ve got me thinking! Now that winter is over, I may consider sending you a couple of UHF’s

I went to see it IRL and try it on. Freaking awesome piece. I somehow convinced myself to walk away from it . Probably gonna regret it but I just picked up the 413 and patiently waiting for some other IH stuff getting restocked. Kind of proud of myself I won my internal fight against FOMO ️

@PJ that is impressive willpower

FOMO hit me so hard on this one I accidentally ended up ordering 2 XXLs!!!

[Tobi]

@PJ well done! I was not that strong... At least I refrained from buying more stuff I don't need while I was there....

[Ikeaparty]

Pumped to see how this fades, wore it for a long walk in the city and ended up with a heavily indigo crocked neck!

[ZackB]

@Tobi this is how it’s done. Gotta go in with blinders and a laser focus.

[PJ]

@Tobi I might end up being very envious next time we meet and you wear that beauty

Absolutely loving this shirt!

Picked up the only XXXL today from Berkeley Supply. I see some really cool fade potential with this one.

@Shaun this looks so bad ass!

Has anyone ever had a IH flannel shortened? Its about 2cm longer in the back than other IH flannels I have and its driving me nuts, usually an XL but XL in store was too tight P2P so went XXL, more I wear it around though the more the length in the back annoys me

[yannis]

@Ikeaparty. Depending how it fits everywhere else it will shrink with a hot wash and loose length. Something to consider.

[Ikeaparty]

@yannis yeah could be slimmer everywhere else by a hair, somewhere between the XL I tried on and the XXL would be ideal so might do a warm wash, not sure how much color would be lost though so will likely hold off as long as i can for that

[yannis]

I have shrunk a 9oz before considebly, specially in length and width. I don't think you will loose that much color in one wash. I couldn't tell the difference when I did it with mine. And you you put it in the dryer you can shrink it more.

QFT. I’ve had the same results

[Ikeaparty]

Awesome this is good info to know thanks guys!

[SourPower]

@Ikeaparty also want to call out that the size guide for this product states “One-washed - no shrinkage expected”. Worst case if the length is bothering you, a good tailor should be able to take care of it and will be well worth it to get the fit you want.

[Shaun]

@SourPower I couldn't agree more. Such a slick shirt and as always "Upgrade" is an understatement

[natefreezy]

Just got mine in my typical IH size and the forearms are a little tight. Is that something that will loosen up over time or should I consider going up size maybe? Otherwise fit is slim but seems good, would be an issue if it shrinks on cold wash though.
