IHSH-68-ind - 12oz Wabash Work Shirt - Indigo

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.

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?

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.

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

@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.
On that note, how and how often would you was the 33? I havent put mine through yet haha (wear a t-shirt under so it aint too stanky).
Sorry about that….
Some stuff goes so quickly these days….
[/quote]And no worries @Giles theres probably worse problems to have haha
-
She's probably due then haha. Med temp machine wash inside out? How do you dry it?
-
Perfect, might give it a crack tomorrow.
