IHSH-222-IND - 5oz Selvedge Cotton Linen Chambray Work Shirt - Indigo

[Bustdnukles]

@Alex I just received the 5.5 in XXXL, same issue, buttons are barely functional, true, it's quite tight in the chest. I can see the issue about them coming undone. I have to return the shirt.

@Bustdnukles thanks for the feedback. I have a sample lightweight chambray where we are testing a new placket design to try and fix this, if it works we will roll this out for future runs of this (and other lightweight chambrays)

@Alex should we assume this is an issue with all? Was about to place an order (xxxl) but if it’s an actual problem, I’ll just wait it out.

@iammortalcombat yeah, it will be the case for any IHSH-222 made to date. That said, we have sold a hell of a lot of them, and it only affects some people. If you have a larger chest, or you're looking for a slim fit, then that would exacerbate the issue

[iammortalcombat]

All good. I stacked one last night. Worst case, I can add a stitch or upsize the button.

This is nice! Might need it! I have the western 248 and love it. Although I felt the linen mix contributed to some shrinkage after a warm wash. Not the case with any of my 10 oz cotton. Also, I too have some buttons pop open on my 5 oz ihsh-169 ind ..but only in the chest since I gained a few pounds haha. Gotta lay off the beers a bit.

In my experience the 5oz cotton/linen blend shirts shrink in length and width with even careful machine washing and air drying. I have since sold the three shirts I had in this material due to the shrinkage and button issues. This is one to consider sizing up in.

I love the texture linen adds to a fabric mix

Arrived yesterday. Up 1 from my usual work shirt size was definitely the right move. Feels a little roomier than other shirts with the same measurements (due to lighter weight?) but leaves a little margin for linen to do what linen does! Colour and feel is fantastic!

The details on this thing are amazing!

Love the look of this shirt, but given button issues a currently unavailable XXL looks a safer bet (I’ve dropped a few pounds and was hoping to get the available XL). Will there be a re-stock with the possible button hole changes any time soon?

I had some pictures taken and thought I'd break out the linen
