IHSH-417-IND - 5oz Double Gauze Short Sleeved Work Shirt - Indigo

[CosmoSix5]

Definitely sizing up was the right choice on this. My 4xl from ISP measures right at 24.1"+ in the p2p. Perfect fit with even room for some shrink.
Much lighter than even the SS25 Dobby 5oz cloth. I'm guessing it will be washed more often as an undershirt will be rare with it.

It finally reached. I got my regular size, i.e XL. The P2P is a little bigger at 23” and fits great.

Fabric itself is very unique and comfortable. It’s thicker than I expected, but feels very light and breathable.

@mental_messiah fit looks great. My 4xl is a 24.2" chest...

[mental_messiah]

@CosmoSix5 thanks! Not gonna lie, was kinda nervous when I started to see almost everyone went a size up
All is well though

[CosmoSix5]

Measured again and it's right smack at 24" I'm sure the work cut "works" in my favor. Fits good.

[mental_messiah]

@CosmoSix5 fwiw, I measured mine as well - just hits 23”.
Btw end shows as 24”, but starting from 1” mark.

Just got mine in, this fabric is so cool in person.

@ZackB looks great on ya

[CosmoSix5]

@mental_messiah crazy that 1" is the difference in 3 sizes up. Thank the charts batman!

@CosmoSix5 margin of error is a hell of a thing

Just got mine today! Super soft and excited to rock it all Summer long. Curious about shrinkage with this material... These came out longer than many of my short sleeve button downs, and wondering if even a cold wash will take some off the length? Product page doesn't mention and pre-washing or rinsing. @Alex any guidance?

UPDATE:
A luke warm soak in the tub with woolite dark brought the length up .25”, and actually didn’t effect any other measurements oddly enough. Little to no color loss until the water at all. Will wear with double cuffed sleeves for a while this summer and maybe try a light tumble dry down the road to see if I can get it to tighten up a bit more

Anyone else had any string/thread pulls? Worn the shirt three or four times and already seeing a few creep up. Not a huge deal but worried more about long term. Possible it is just me. Anyone have suggestions on how to deal with them. Obviously I know cutting is a poor choice.

@jfk1117 I had a super long string where it caught on something and I cut it. Didn’t seem to effect any thing and I can’t see where it was anymore.

@ZackB thanks. I may follow up with you in a month before I follow suit. Thanks for being the trend setter!

Seems others have experienced some string/thread pulls so I am sharing my experience. Only wore this a couple of times total. Last time I wore this under my rain jacket while walking around town. When I took my jacket off, I noticed some thread pulls. Based off where the thread pulls happened I know it wasn't from snagging on a zipper or anything super rough. There was a seam on the inside of the rain jacket in the same area that was slightly rough. Pretty surprising that it would cause this kind of damage though so I am not totally sure what happened.

@Lanep2 Its unfortunate that I've had about 10 spots where the thread pulls up but not this large. I wonder if a wash and warm dry would "reset" the fabric but it might be worth a shot.

@Lanep2 this does look like a large area of fabric fraying, do you mind sending me a picture of the inside of the jacket you were wearing? We can then pass all of the information to Japan to comment
