IHSH-431-BRN - Slubby Heavy Flannel Check Western Shirt - Brown

[SKT]

Been meaning to post some pre/post wash measurements for you guys. One of the things I’ve grown to love about IH flannels is basically the ability to customize your size by how you wash. This particular shirt came in a little small for me in my normal large so I picked up an XL and did a warm wash and “some” machine dry. I think you can get the slubby flannels to shrink more than the standard UHF’s but that’s just my opinion. Nerding out but I love this stuff and hope it helps some folks when trying to size

@SKT thanks for that. It's helpful to see. It's pretty much the same as a large now other than the shoulders being slightly bigger.

@Giles I love that you guys have enough sense of humor with each other to know which ones are gonna call you out and say something to make you laugh.

@Jett129 thank you for your kind words and I can’t think of a better group of people to share this with

I try not to click on this thread anymore, because I decided to pass on this shirt (too many purchases lately). So what do I do, I click on it anyway and I come across your story with your dad.

He looks absolutely fantastic … I’d never guess he’s 95. You’ve got some good genes there me thinks.

Kudos for gifting him this beautiful UHF. Knowing how happy it makes him, must make you incredibly happy.

Beautiful story for this shirt and a even more beautiful moment for you and your father. Hope you can find another one in your size.

@Giles @endo already gave you your 95th birthday gift, only slightly prematurely

@SKT thanks for sharing this! Very interesting for me as i am new in this area. When you say 'warm' wash is that about 40 degrees celcius in the machine?

[SKT]

@cyclops I think in the case of my washing machine, warm is more like 25-30 Celsius. Glad it was helpful

After a few days in UPS purgatory mine arrived, XXL fits perfectly, I love the slubby flannels, stoked to have another one! 399 will forever haunt me though

Hi, was this also with the spin cycle on? I washed my watermelon without a spin cycle, but doing that every time seems really a lot of hassle. At 20 degrees without a spin cycle, I didn’t have any noticeable shrinkage
