Picked up a 9oz T over Black Friday and love the weight and fit. Hoping to avoid any shrinkage as it’s perfect as is. Will definitely pick up more when I get the chance

Edit: the dead look in my eyes is from having teenagers

@SKT that’s a fantastic fit. I need to try these out, I’ve always have been curious about them.

@ZackB thanks and me too…always curious and liked the idea of a weight between 11 and 7. I think you’d really like it and recommend picking one up if you get the chance. I’m sold and wish I had jumped on a black one too

@SKT Perfect looking fit! Congratulations

. I’ll report back after it’s had its first wash

Any chance you've washed it and made a note on if it shrank?

I snagged one in Tokyo and it's due for a wash but wanting to double check before I proceed. The sales guy there was emphatic I shouldn't put this in the dryer and that is lose an inch in length no matter what I did.

@pechelman I have cold washed and drip dried it at around 5 wears in but unfortunately didn’t keep notes of the before/after measurements. I sized mine quite loose and have not really noticed a difference in fit since it’s wash. Maybe a tiny bit in length, so I guess if you wash it at 40 and use a dryer you might get a bit of shrinkage?

Thanks @DeeDee85 Appreciate it.

@pechelman no problem, sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Hell of a shirt though isn’t it? I keep eyeing the flat head flannel westerns but still can’t get over the cross eyed pocket snaps and the measurements on the flannel workshirts seem well off to what I’m used to with IH.

It's a great tee, the fabric has such a nice weight and texture. I was also really impressed by the long sleeve heavy version, reminded me of what might happen if the IH 14oz hoodie and 11oz tee were blended. It was pretty tempting but don't really have a need for something like that.
