      I'd cold washed them before and gotten zero.  If you're borderline and don't want shrinkage, just cold wash and hang dry.  I was trying to get mine a bit smaller.

      Good to hear.  This will most likely keep me from stinking like a wet dog in a month or two  😛

      Out with the new! In with the old!

            I am giving my 31 a cold wash today to see if it shrinks up at all.

            If it does, it will most likely be up for sale.  If nameness is correct (I hope so), it won't be going anywhere.

            New colorway does look nice.  Will have to wait and see how it looks as a finished product!

              Just handwash it if you want to be ultra safe…

                That's what I did!

                Thanks again for posting that info.  It gives me hope that I won't have to deal with selling it!

                    Shrinkage depends on the temperature of the water used for washing and the amount of heat used for drying.  Hand washing instead of machine washing is not important.

                    I washed my IHSH-23 at 60deg in order to shrink it.  It did shrink a bit but also stretched back out almost to its original size.

                      My preference for a handwash is so that I can control the temp, I don't trust the commercial washers where I live.

                          So post wash thoughts are in…..the thing I was most concerned about was the chest shrinkage (vertical and horizontal).  Surprisingly, after a cold hand wash, it appears to be roomier in the chest than before.

                          So I would say to expect virtually no shrinkage with a cold wash!

                            agh i was trying to resist.. when the new colorway does come out can you put one in my virtual "stack" G?

                            its just the most gorgeous pattern I have ever seen.

                              Cows, not doing stacks any longer I am afraid.  a) I could not manage them effectively and b) some people were putting stuff in and then not buying.  Which when all the rest of the product has sold and I have taken the web page down, is more than a bummer.  But I am ordering loads of these so you should be OK.  G

                                cool that makes perfect sense.
                                just gotta put them on my snipe list.

                                somehow we don't have very many "S" posters that I can think of.. just me, simon626 and beats (is simon even a small?) and the smalls run out faster than alcohol at a house party so i have my guard up! haha

                                  I'm learning.  I am getting twice as many S as in previous shipments.  I'm even getting a couple of XS this time to see how those do…....G

                                      My -31 arrived from Japan earlier this week, and needless to say, it's amazing.  Love the slubbiness of the fabric & the Large ended up fitting wonderfully, so thanks for the fit advice!

                                      Also, working with Hide from SharpService was about as pleasant an experience as you could hope for. If there's something you can't get from Giles or SE, I'd definitely recommend them.
