IHSH-338-BLK - 12oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt With Snaps - Black/Black
-
I’ve wanted this for a while. Got the upgrade too with copper snaps. Can’t wait
-
@AdamJ Thanks for the feedback! IH Germany had this one so I grabbed it
-
For those who have this, or if IH crew knows...how about this "half a size shrinkage with hot wash"...
Would i not shrink at all with lets say 30C wash and no dryer ?
Is the shrinkage expected proportionally everywhere, like also length & sleeves length ?Thanks for all the sound advice you guys provide on this forum !
-
@Slash If you don’t want it to shrink then avoid agitation at high temps. If you wash it at 30degC and hang dry, it’s unlikely to shrink beyond its original dimensions. 30degC is far from “hot”. Conversely with STF, the longest dimension will shrink the most and therefore you’ll note more dimensional change in body length vs arm length on this shirt for example.

@Boit
Thanks for having taken the time to answer me !Nice to hear it could possibly not move much if I wash it around 30C, what I mostly do with nice clothes I have.
Btw, when you say "not shrink beyond it's original dimension", do I infer correctly that this shirt will stretch with wear like a denim jacket/jeans ?
I guess it's logical since it's denim but I have never had a denim shirt yet !

yep, if there is a particular area of the shirt that is being regularly strained it’ll stretch (up to a point).

@Choko hell yes

@Choko The copper buttons pop against that blackest-of-black denim. Good choice!
-
Picked this up recently and it's way nicer than I expected. 12oz is right on the money for the weight!

Seriously interested in this shirt and the size M measurements look fairly good for me, but elsewhere I read that the suggestion is to size up. I'd be wearing over a tshirt. Any wisdom you can impart here, please?
-
@Fjcooper I wear a medium in this shirt, fit is great. I generally don't size up in these shirts like many guys do or it becomes more of an over shirt. If you want it a little more tailored, then M will be good imo. I am 178cm and 71kg for reference, normally wear a size 40 jacket too
-
@Fjcooper How did you determine that M would be a good size for you?
Do you have any IH shirts whose fit you like? If yes, your best course of action will be to follow this tutorial on how to measure your shirt:

@goosehd has put together a very useful guide on what he looks for in any given IH item:

Hi there. I have three ultra heavy flannel shirts in size M and I have measured them recently. I've also measured other flannels and the numbers, while not all identical, are well within the range of the 338 size M numbers. But still....
-
That is a very useful guide, BTW. Thank you.
