IHSH-26 & IHSH-26-OD - Short Sleeved Chambrays

[madmonday]

splat' how did your shirt turn out???

[Splattered]

Dunno yet, it was still drying this morning before i left to work… am anxious to see how it turned out. Will report back after work

If it didn't shrink much/enough would giving it another hot soak and maybe a short toss in the dryer fix that or is the first soak/hang dry gonna be all i can expect it to shrink?

Shoulders stayed the same at 18.5, P2P shrunk down to 21... wonder if i can get any more shrinkage out of the shoulders

My advice and only because this seems to be a drawn out discussion, is to just wear it. You have soaked it once already. Now wear it and let the fabric have a chance to fall naturally. See if it fits you. If you are unhappy after a while, then try soaking it again. I just feel like if you worry about it all to much and soak, measure, soak, measure, etc. you will never enjoy the shirt. At some point you have to figure out your size for IH and let Haraki-San's works speak for itself. Am I correct in thinking that you are all here because you like the brand and the things they make? If so, buy your clothes in the size you are happiest with normally and things will work out. Just my two pennies as a spectator…

@Giles:

Lefty.  In about 3 weeks there will be two new overdyed Chambrays winging their way over from Japan.  A work shirt and a western, both LS and both in the 10oz chambray (think IHSH-21) but overdyed…G

still in Japan?
when are you back with those babies?
definitivly no need more shirt of course but these…

Has anyone washed this shirt yet?  If so, by hand or machine?  And did the color change?

[LandoCal126 0]

I just saw both the Western and Workshirt LS OD Shirts today at SE. I must say they are beautiful!

I soaked twice, both times in cold tap.  Once before wearing for the first extended period of time(flight to Michigan) and once upon returning to California(Michigan is fucking muggy this time of year).  Each time I may have noticed a very subtle decline in color saturation, but no appreciable fading, yet.

I honestly don't think these things are going to fade too much considering their weight/ material, but I could be wrong. I guess we shall see…

this isn't good news to me   

[Giles]

I have just had an XL IHSH-26-OD returned as it is too small for the buyer and he has swapped for an XXL.  So we have all sizes in the Overdyed version available again…G

[Omega Man]

Washed mine today.  Very little to no fading.

[a.khan12390]

handwashed, barely  any fading at all

[riffblaster general]

i posted this in product ideas but i figured i'd post it here too…

any chance of this in red chambray?  with black buttons preferably?

[Katsushin]

You're turning into quite the red chambray crusader…
I'm all for it.  My wife says asiany dudes like myself look good in red.
P.S.  How's the beard???

[riffblaster general]

you know we look good in red son!

the beard is coming back with a fury!  a slow 1/2 japanese fury but a fury nonetheless. i'll post in waywt tomorrow.  it mostly just looks like i've been eating burnt toast.

Any updates on how this shirt (or the IHSH-21bk) is wearing?  I haven't worn short sleeves in the last 5 months so obviously there has been no change in mine.
