IHSH-443-IND - 7oz Cotton Linen Chambray Work Shirt - Indigo

Holy FECK this shirt is creasing like PAPER! But boy is it strong! Look at this fecking thing!

I have dampened the sleeves as you can see in the photos to encourage the creases. I can see the crest of the folds caused by packing it have faded already a tad. Similar to the 21oz sashiko but less noticeable. This is a good thing! It means mad fades ahead AHOY!

@Oaktavia looks great and bet it’s a wild difference to wearing the 189…enjoy it Stevie!

[Oaktavia]

@SKT oh for sure!!! Thanks, I will still be wearing the 21oz CPO till June, just to round a year, then its all in on this one.

@northsouthdenimguy dry your hands off on your elbow pits next time you use the loo.

I’m thinking of picking up this beauty but am in between sizes. The product description says all shrink should be out already but can anyone comment on whether you’ve experienced some shrinkage after a first wash? Or any shrinkage with IH linen/cotton blend shirts?

@Archie

This shirt came out Wednesday, and it’s “sister” only about a week before that. As I understand this particular combination of cotton and linen is new - so the user experience with washing is limited.

That said, my experience with IH products in general is that if they are pre washed - like this shirt - they do not shrink if washed according to instructions.

You do need to be vary of your washing machine, though. They don’t all have very precise temperature control.

Bringing several whiskey and Cokes to my mouth actually helps the creasing along a bit

[Oaktavia]

@northsouthdenimguy yeah buddy!!!

[Oaktavia]

Yes!!! Love this shirt!

Oh wow mad creases on your sleeves @Oaktavia ! Reminds me of an accordion.

[Oaktavia]

@RoxRocks86 for real reminds me of a bandana that got smushed in a pocket folds everywhere.

Hi everyone, what a lovely, fresh shirt for summer. Looking at the size chart and the sizes worn by the staff, it seems like this style runs a bit large and that the sizes are large. From the size chart, I've noticed a generally narrow-shouldered cut with a proportionally broader chest. Is it better to size based on the shoulders or the chest?

[goosehd]

@MicheleOnida It depends, too small in the chest and perfect fit in the shoulders and you can wear the shirt unbuttoned. Too tight in the shoulders and it can affect mobility.

It comes down to how small it is and how you’re going to wear it. With it being cotton linen, there should be some give which would be easier to get out of the shoulders.

These pics are glorious, looking forward to seeing all the progression!

Hi, just got the shirt, it is awesome The care guidelines has this: "We recommend washing this garment at 30°C with a low (or no) spin cycle. Hang dry, do not tumble dry". I wonder is this "no spin cycle" there to avoid marbling?

[SKT]

Can’t think of a better lightweight representation of Iron Heart…light and breezy feeling yet somehow still substantial. More colors plz

Told myself no shirts this year. But eff that. This one was too good to pass up & it’s lightweight. I’m more of a western shirt gal bc of the cut & prefer button snaps, but couldn’t pass up on the clean stealth look of the work shirt.
