IHSH-246-NIN - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt – Natural Indigo

Thank you again @Giles for the quick change! This is a great service!

I've been lurking around here for a while and finally decided to join in. Some very informative posting going on here, as well as group with a great vibe. I'm looking to snag up this shirt in a medium, as it's measurements are very similar to the states and measured ones from my UHF purple rain in Large I picked up earlier this year. Graham at IH messaged me before processing my order to confirm we me that the p2p wouldn't be too small, which was greatly appreciated. There's a medium with a 21.7 p2p and my current IH shirts range from 21.5 to 22.5 (in the blue 7oz soft). Has anyone else here experienced a need to size down from their typical? Any info would be appreciated, I'm dying to pick one of these up and unfortunately the Large, if I did want to take my normal, is all gone. Thanks!

I have washed, soaked the first shirt many times over the course of several months and I can tell you that it does not shrink that much. You can hardly expect it to shrink more than 1 cm to 1.5 cm on all fronts. If you compare this with the IHSH-33, the 246 has generous measurements and this in my opinion accounts for any shrinkage (if at all).

Thanks for the reply Giles. I think it may be borderline as well, I was originally worried that the length and sleeve length might start to be a bit much in the Large (only 5'7").
-
Just for record purposes, I'm logging the measurements on the new pair that I received today.
Length - 74.5cm
Sleeve - 64cmThe other measurements are not so relevant for me. I will do a hot soak in the next days and pen down the measurements again. So far, loving this shirt!
-
Well, I've hunted down a Large elsewhere and I've got my Medium stacked, so time to find out just how much slack I feel comfortable with in the chest measurement. Thanks for the input, everyone

I will chime in and say yeah, for whatever reason, this has been my go to shirt since I got it. That indigo color is really vibrant under certain light and can still be very understated under others. Also, the proportions is also really strange in a good way. I feel the tapering and widening of the waist and hip areas are more dramatic than the other ironheart shirts. It's really awesome. And in fact this is one of the few denim garments that are great even without the fades! Perhaps this should be made into continuous production just like the 33. Here's a pic I posted some time ago on Instagram (actually mostly celebrating that watch, which happens to be the watch equivalent of this shirt to me)

Nice pic, gniquil, I'm thrilled for mine to show up

Just wanna show another image of this lovely shirt. (Sorry to xpost from another thread) Here's me with the new whip chord pants. I like this image as it shows how subdued this shirt can be (vs that vibrant blue in the sun, see my prev post here). And similar to the new pants, the shirt feels both relaxed and slim. Love it.

^That's a great fit! Since the last few months, I just wear the 2 copies of this shirt. Every other IH shirt is just resting in the wardrobe.

Both the guys had a wash cycle after repeated wear for about 2 months! Washed them inside out.

I don't think I've ever liked a shirt enough to scrub my tub to wash it

The fades are starting to come out strongly. Here is the result of constant cuffing and rubbing.

The NIN's are the only IH shirts that I wear every single day while the other ones just get work occasionally.
