IHSH-64 - Extra Heavy Jersey Western Sweat Shirt

@Oaktavia sick!! I am glad you grabbed this one. I had my eye on it, but ultimately thought it would be a touch too big for me. Happy that it is going to a good home.

Thanks man, I am glad too. I'll post photos later today if the fit is right on me.

64 has arrived, it is heavy as feck. Just a tad on the large side, so I am going to hot wash and dry it to see of I can get a smidgen of shrinkage. Pretty rad shirt indeed.

Now, I have read nearly every post on this thread over the past few days. I have noticed a tinge of blue on the tag. I do not see it on the snaps though. I can post a pic of that after its dry. But overall, I think this is a keeper. I might change my mind and if that is the case, I'll make a WTS post. I doubt that will happen though...this shirt is legendary IH.

@Oaktavia when I tried to shrink my gray one I went pretty hard on the hot water and dryer and got only a little shrink.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle alright thanks for the info. It'll work either way size-wise. But I'll see what happens.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia I did get just enough to make it better though.

I’ll put this shirt on, to feel and enjoy the fabric and its behavior during a wear day.
Would only sell, when another one is on hand ;-).

@Oaktavia i doubt we'll see pictures before the weekend. that thing takes ages to dry...

[Oaktavia]

@tody I'm going to throw it in the dryer next on low heat with some wool dryer balls.

[tody]

@Oaktavia it'll may help the shrinking...

[Oaktavia]

@tody yes, that is what I am thinking as well.

64 fleece is definitely different! I think it feels heavier, but it’s also unbrushed on the inside, so feels more like a French terry fleece on steroids.

Totally stoked, how many shirts are still and again active by forum members these days…

Yeah its really cool to have this forum. There really is nothing else like it. I will always remember this place as long as it lives. Who knows, perhaps some of us will be on here for decades to come.

Here it is y'all, my new (to me) 64. Fresh from wash and dryer sessions. I feel like it did shrink just a tad, which is all I was after. This shirt, which cannot be overstated, is fecking incredible. I love heavyweights of IH the most, and this one is the heaviest shirt I have next to the 21oz CPO. The 64 may be even heavier? I suppose I could try to weigh them.

Anyway, please see the blue on the tag. Perhaps this is an indigo dyed one? I am not sure why or how it would be blue otherwise but pardon my ignorance if I am incorrect.

I feel like this shirt has finally "come home" now being with you @Oaktavia; looking great.

[Mizmazzle]

Hell yeah, @Oaktavia like wearing a western cut beach towel, drenched in indigo!! Looks great man!!

[Matt]

Hardly matters whether it’s indigo or navy because it looks amazing. These are truly amazing shirts.

It's crazy we can look back 13 years on this shirt with the forum and see what people were saying then...
Looks great on you mate, wear in good health.

[Oaktavia]

Right on fellas. Definitely cozy and comfortable. Super happy I pulled the trigger on this one.

@Matt yeah, thats where I'm at with it. Stoked either way, but on other hand endlessly curious.

Dude, right? I love that. And at this point I have done it with enough older items that I recognize reoccurring members who are no longer here. Read through enough pages and their personalities start to show too. Its super neat.
