      BUT.  The aluminium cat's eye buttons are not made any longer, so the new production run, will have these instead…

              Hi . Iron Heart newbie here. I have an IHSH-33-Black in XS, which fits me well apart from being a bit snug around the belly (have a bit of a tummy!). Is there any shrink after several washes,  and would you guys recommend I go for an S this time instead ? Thanks !

                I’d recommend you compare measurements. The work shirt is a different cut and has a wider body which may help accomodate your, ahem, girth. But if they measure up differently there is no guarantee that you need the same size.

                As for shrinkage, there is some on very hot washes. Normal washing will not yield very much, but 1cm in all dimensions is do-able at high temperatures.

                  Was happy to wake up & see the restock email for these.  Grabbed an XL.  Now if only the weather would cool down.  It’s supposed to be 100* this weekend.

                    Haha I cant say I had the same reaction. Have wanted this shirt for a while now but my wallet definitely wasnt expecting this. Here we go again…  😃

                      Its funny, this shirt was on my restock alert too, soon after I first discovered IH. It in some way symbolised to me IH's core aesthetic, and just seems to be a wardrobe must have. Great choice @hoppy_IPA congrats, it really is a beautiful bit of kit!

                      @jordanf I've felt your pain, the time will come. I randomly got mine last month, before the restock, in the for sale section here. Heres hoping the day arrives for you soon, cheers.

                        Placed an order right away. I've been waiting for that one to come back for a while.

                          a 90°C wash should be able to do that. But please keep in mind the arm length will shrink too. And less the shoulders and PtoP, as well.

                          How much shrinkage in the shoulders and P2P with this washing method?

                            @teddyjay  a 90C wash will get approximately 1cm in the horizontal measurements, and possibly as much 1.5cm in the arms and body length. Difficult to be precise there are many variables at play.

                              Since losing about 30lbs/13+kg with the intention of staying that old self, I find myself in shirts a bit too big.  I washed my wabash hot and got about 1cm shrinkage P2P.  Truth is, I needed more and so just sprang for this work shirt (in black) to size down.  Because IH shirts like this are so substantial I think a proper fit is even more important because of drape of the weightier shirt.  With rayon or light chambrays you can kinda' get away with the flow a bit more, at least imo.  It's gonna end up being expensive but worth it.  I live in these IH shirts now.

                                Thanks @neph93 and @profdbrk for the info.  I own the western version and wish the P2P was just a tad smaller.  Since the work shirt version is wider I was hoping a hot wash will shrink the P2P just enough to be not so baggy.

                                  I may have made the mistake of having a quick look at the numbers of these available thismorning, only to see that there was just 1 L left (there was 6 last time I checked)…

                                  I panicked and spent $285 I wasnt planning on spending 😃

                                    They tend to go quick in L and XL these days. While unplanned 285USD purchases are pretty scary/uncomfortable you will most likely thank your reckless self down the line [emoji1] It is normally the case for me.

                                      @neph93 Oh i dont regret it one bit. Have been wanting one of these bad boys for a while now so it was inevitable when I saw that restock notification.

                                      Havent taken my IHSH-33 since I got it maybe 3 months ago and its only just starting to show hints of the beginnings of a fade. Now I will have to add this one to the rotation!

                                          Shirt fades are a different business in my experience, because of the need to wash more regularly and because they get rotated more. But the same applies. Wear, work, wash, repeat. It is a gentler but no less rewarding process.
