IHSH-430-BRN - Slubby Heavy Flannel Check Work Overshirt - Brown
-
@xtrevorx I sized down from my usual medium in the work shirt to a small based off of measurements and how I wanted to wear this. It fits slightly larger than my typical medium, but I definitely noticed the tightness in the forearms and cuffs. It’s manageable for me when I wear it as a shirt, but when I slip the hoodie underneath it, I just unbutton the cuffs and it resolves that issue for me. Maybe worth a try

Stopped into BlackBlue today and they still had an XL in stock.
They don't anymore

@nurunuru I wasn’t really sure about this one at first but I reach for it a lot. The Slubby flannels might be my favorite.

@Northman be aware these run big, I am a XXL/xxxl in most IH tops and my 430 is on the edge of too big. Gave it a warm wash recently and now the fit is better
-
@FlavourFade hey man if you can be bothered...what were the "settings" of your warm wash ?
Did you loose much in Sleeves length ? I'd prefer not with my monkey arms
I'm in the same boat as you, shirt is slightly big. It fits with the style and I like it, but slightly fitter would perfect.

@Slash sure mate!! Always a pleasure to help a buddy out. I did not take measurements because I knew if it would shrink anything between a half of full size I'd be alright. Threw it in the washer at 30 or 40°c (don't remember anymore) and 800 spin cycle. While the body, chest & shoulders only shrank a little, length in body and sleeves shortened noticably. It's now less oversized and more like a traditional work shirt.

@FlavourFade Great info, many thanks, but I guess I'll need to be carefull then with washing since I don"t want to loose sleeves length.
Liking this shirt more and more with wearing.
-
Btw...how often do you all wash your flannel/slubby shirts ?
I have been wearing this one as an over-shirt mostly currently, and it's not yet dirty at all (office job, worn 5 times max), so I'm leaning towards not washing too much, as I do with most clothes not needing it.
The fabric is merely touching my skin, BUT there is the collar off course
Would not want to end with an unrecoverable dirty collar.Happy sunday folks

@Slash I wouldn’t overthink it. Flannels are far more forgiving than stiffer fabrics. If you think it needs a wash, wash it. If your colleagues are avoiding you, wash it. If you can’t remember when you last saw any of your friends, wash it. Lean towards cooler temps if you want to avoid shrinking. It’ll be fine.

Ok, calling my friends to be sure, be right back
Thx man
-
@Slash if it's dirty or it smells bad, wash it! Don't worry, IH is good stuff.

430 out on the town.

Chance that shirt is slightly oversized with all that cream man
Happy Birthday ?
-
Almost a full-size run of these have been restocked... If I didn't already own one, I would totally get one now! My favourite flannel of the season.

Didn't know there'd been a restock. That's nice for those who missed out.
Gotta say, I'm glad I embraced the overshirt ethos and went with my typical tag size. Think I'm probably gonna go up a size or two if I end up getting the SS26 orange work shirt, just to get a similar kinda fit.
