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

[JDelage]

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

@rocket:

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?

[neph93]

@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

[neph93]

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!

Sorry about that….   Some stuff goes so quickly these days....

[neph93]

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).

And no worries @Giles theres probably worse problems to have haha

[neph93]

Hmmm… It depends. Five to ten wears?

[jordanf]

She's probably due then haha. Med temp machine wash inside out? How do you dry it?

[neph93]

These things are different for different people. My body odour transfers quickly but the most common cause of a wash is bread dough or flour [emoji1].

I soak it with the shower head thoroughly then do 40C on low spin (600-800rpm). Air dry on a hanger.

[jordanf]

Perfect, might give it a crack tomorrow.

leaped at the 68blk when it showed up-waiting for summer to give up the ghost

[neph93]

Wise move, Ed. I have my eye on the 62-BLK… hoping the stock holds until my b’day in 6 weeks time.

The ‘New’ buttons are amazing!

Hard to handle at the first moment, but feeling strongly and adorable!
