IHSH-442-SAX - 9oz Selvedge Flannel Check Work Shirt - Sax Blue

[hound]

I noticed that there is no reference to this shirt shrinking up to half a size with washing like on past flannels, is this no longer the case?

[Jord]

@hound It's different from UHF's if that's what you mean, this has been washed to get rid of shrinkage, although I'd still follow their wash instructions

[nurunuru]

Pretty sure I've yet to meet a flannel that didn't shrink at least a little.

This is what the product page says......

9oz flannels have always had that info.....

If you want to shrink it a bit, then you can by washing aggressively.

@Jord wait what, UHF’s are meant to shrink? I better never wash any of mine then

[Giles]

This is what we say about UHF's

[Rustygate37]

@Giles yeah I just read up on that. Spewin I never picked up on that important bit of info.
I suppose if I rotate the 6 I already have and never get them dirty, never wash em, stay slim, never drink beer, don’t eat choclate or go heavy in the gym I should be alright. I’ve got this

Well, I guess I’m calling in sick Tuesday

@indigo_fades That’s a really astute observation .

[Gorbeh]

I saw the ironheart_jp_official ig showing a western in this colorway? Is that tues too?

[goosehd]

@Gorbeh no it is a Japan exclusive item.

[Brandrea]

How crazy would it be to order the 442, make sure the size works, and then send it back for a GA snap?

I understand that once you alter the shirt, you can’t return to IH if the size is a bit off … correct?

EDIT: understanding I’d pay the shipping etc

[goosehd]

@Brandrea Correct.

[Tago Mago]

@Brandrea it’s a work shirt, 13mm and 15mm are the upgrade options. No snap upgrades for this one.

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago Great catch!

[Brandrea]

@Tago-Mago

Ah right … thank you for clarifying that! Noted!

[Oppa]

I'm wondering what size to choose. I have several western shirts, all in small.

I like my shirts to be fitted, and I understand that work shirts are less fitted than western shirts.

However, if I compare the measurements to the IHSH-411 size chart from last summer, they seem almost identical. Should I stick with a small?

[SamD]

Some tough decisions to be made today!

Vik wears XS
James wears Small
Shaun wears medium
AJ, Steve and Sam D wear Large
Ben and Chris wears XL
Adam wears XXL
Josh wears XXXL
Ross and Tyler wear a XXXXL
