IHSH-414-WHT - 9oz Cotton Linen Work Shirt - Off White

[DeeDee85]

@ARNC would be an awful shame did you pick one up? I have a couple of days working away in London next week so I’ll try and check it out in person

[ARNC]

@DeeDee85 yes, it arrived direct from Gosport this evening but pics will have to wait till I’m home at the weekend - I’ve got no suitable bottoms with me.

In terms of fit, there’s more excess fabric in the lower body than some of my work shirts (true to the published measurements) but it doesn’t show like it would with a heavier shirt as the fabric is really soft and drapes nicely. No problem with arm length (@JamesB managed to find me an extra half inch, which definitely helps, but it would probably have been tolerable without).

Completely agree with everyone else about the level of interest in the fabric and the red stitching.

Overall it’s fair to say I’m really happy.

Edit: just noticed it has the internal print which I love in this tonal iteration! Apologies for the poor lighting.

@ARNC colour me intrigued, looking forward to seeing a few pics. I’ll let you know how I get on if I can make it into rivet & hide next week.

In regards to sleeve length, the only non-IH shirts I have are an orslow fatigue, a flat head dobby and a buzz ricksons chambray. The orslow is fine but I’m contemplating chopping the flat head and buzz ricksons in to get the new IH dobby western while it’s still available. They all look fine on, just feel so strange to wear after getting used to constantly wearing IH. The extra inch/inch and half in sleeve length is something I never knew I needed and now can’t live without. It’s ruined every other brand of shirt for me

@MTpockets no chucks here, but I do have a pair of Shoes Like Pottery in off-white

Can someone please say something bad about this shirt so I don’t feel like I missed out on this one.

[Alex]

@J-IV it looks better in person, so you won't realise how much you missed out..?

[tvaillant75]

Also want to weigh in ans say that the sleeve length is not an issue as potentially expected given the measurement. can't exactly say why but it's one of the best fitting shirts I own from IH.

@Graham said in [IHSH-414-WHT - 9oz Cotton Linen Work Shirt

I would say so for sure. The shoulders are quite wide on these as you can see where the shoulder seam sits on my XL and as the sleeve measurement is measured from that seam - that's how it can look short on paper but not once on.

@tvaillant75 see above. We have this phenomenon occasionally - last i remember it was on the IH-101J-SR where everyone was freaking out about the sleeve length, but when you combine the sleeve and the shoulder from centre neck, it was plenty long..

@tody not that you need any encouragement, but it's another lovely piece. Plus, how many off-white cotton/linen work shirts do you already own? If the answer is zero, you just have to make it work

[will6er]

@J-IV They still have Small and Medium... Diet?

[Alex]

found what i was remembering and added above

[ZackB]

@Tago-Mago my answer was zero….

[Shaun]

Looking good with the Good Art buttons

[J-IV]

You suck at this @Alex. But appreciate you trying.

@will6er the irony is those are the two sizes that I typically take on with IH tops. But I am do for a diet..

My local shop isn't stocking this one, which I thought would help, but it's only making me want to it more especially after seeing it with the GAH button bling. Let me lose a bit more sleep on this

[DeeDee85]

@Shaun wow

Well, I believe that was a blessing in disguise not being able to get a XXXL.

Sp-large with a hot soak just on the arms(and machine dry) will probably shrink it up perfectly. The wife thinks I’m clinically insane as I systematically shrink to fit shirts, but it’s tough when you’re just barely 6’ and you wear the large sizes. Will also probably do a cold soak and line dry to tighten everything up….

That being said the shirt is ridiculous, love the blend. actually a little lighter weight than expected. I think I’ll be able to wear this throughout the summer in Atlanta.

[MTpockets]

Much lighter than any 9 oz flannel - obviously 10% linen and a LHT, but quite lovely. Well done.

I’m certain we will see this fabric in some different colors moving forward - maybe olive, khaki, light gray, navy perhaps.

[Slash]

Welp this one will not do for me this would have been my first IH shirt.

Really like the fabric and color, but no magic for me here for arm length like for others in this thread.
I guess my arms are really monkey-ish because I miss 2 cm at least in arm length, probably more to allow even a T-shirt underneath.

All other measurements are top notch, and going up one size would be way too large in P2P, waist and opening.

There are 2 other shirts I'm looking forward to, hope one will do at least

[northsouthdenimguy]

@Slash

I always wear XXXL or XXXXL, regardless of “measurements” the bottom of the cuff and length of the arm fits on this shirt just like all my others. Relatively speaking, they’re all about the same.

[Slash]

@northsouthdenimguy Ah ! if this is true, then maybe I'm out of luck regarding IH shirt in general, and that would be reaaaaally sad

The only way here I could have gained what I miss on the length is to go to a Large with more shoulders, but then with a P2P of 57,x cm, where my ideal is 53,5-54 cm.
Waist-wise I think I would then look like some weird kite.

Crossing fingers for my 2 other future ventures though
