Started to wear this one on some cold days where I would be out all the time.
I was out yesterday for 2 hours, with some walking and some standing still, and it was about 0-2 C°.

Off course if you don't move you'll eventually get cold at your legs at those temperatures, but while walking, there was a noticeable difference with the 14oz indigo I had been wearing for 3 months straight now. Until let's say 8 C°, the14oz and its admittedly tight weaving does a great job.

But for colder you need the heavy weight

@Adero Hey man, I'll try to help, but please understand this is my experience only, and you should treat an item of this price nicely imo

If you read 2 or 3 posts above, I asked if this could be shrunk because I did sized it too big, and the answer was that it would be difficult.

So I did try to wash at 30C and 40C with low spin (400) and the damn thing would effectively not move

I could only shrink it by putting it in the dryer at medium heat for 25 minutes (kids don"t do this at home !)

Long story short I think you're very safe at 30C or 40C !

Sorry @Giles , I forgot to report the data

For those interested, with the dryer, The item went from a size 35 to 34 only in waist and knee, and it lost 2 cm in the inseam.

All other measurements did not move at all.

Again be very careful ! Medium heat is not nothing and I did pull the item out of the dryer every 5 minutes from the 10th minute to measure it Since I was in a public place (I don't own a dryer) I let you imagine how I did look...

@jimcord : Beautiful man
I hope I'm still looking that good and stylish if I ever get to 95 years old

@goosehd Hey thx man for the reminder

Arms are way too wide but the overall look is cool !

Ah ! didn't noticed this thread until now. Will add with some experience I've had.

Enough was said for t-shirts, good bang for your bucks as a under layer, but for me the only beautiful is the "loopwheel athletic tubular" 10.5oz.
It's the only one I would consider wearing as an outside piece of a fit.
Size respects charts in my experience and the cut is really nice imo and It stands out with the cut of other products..
For me they did not shrink if washed cold and hung dry.

I bought 2 sweatshirts and had the same issue on one as @indigo_fades with this strange neckline that gives the impression your own sweat is trying to choke you
Arm holes seems high, and I have basically the impression that I'm wearing it in the wrong side like the back is in the front
Also the arms are cut for guys who have biceps the size of my legs.
Also note that if you have long arms like me you might need to take a size larger to get enough length. Overall I think their arms length and also body length is too short on sweatshirts.

But the fabric is really thick and cosy.
That being said even with the sweat being thick, it is still not as warm as the IH loopwheel sweat, with which you really feel like the weave is tight because of your body heat almost instantly not leaving you anymore.

But the other sweat is cool, except for the arms cut for people who have biceps as thick as my legs
Overall construction seems solid.
Will try to put a picture soon.

Now I have also committed an heresy (for people here probably :-D) and bought their N1 " cost effective" version to try it. I have the IH from last year in brown, but could honestly not afford the khaki one of this season, but still wanted another color. It came in too small and have done an exchange. Still waiting for the jacket now and will report.
But from what I saw when I had it, the job is not bad considering the crazy low price. Off course you see and feel the gap between this and the IH, but it might do it for me if I want a N1 to "trash" a bit more (sorry not doing that with the IH)

Black Friday price drop !
350€ + same conditions as above

@Denimminer Perfect sizing imo

About the fabric, I also had this initial thought about the thickness, but I have weighted the shirt against an aspero one I have from around same measure, and it's about the same.

But it feels lightly thinner to me too.

I will tell you what the guys from IH would: Just measure your best fitting UHF and compare the measures
Products from IH vary too much in style/size/etc. to stick on a certain size

If you have a shop at 1h I would do it ! For me the closest is 6h to London

@Biecher Hey ma, no problem, I'm 180 cm and 74kg for the moment

Very cool shirt ! Color goes well with almost everything (not duck for once )

Size small was fitted like a normal shirt let's say, but sleeves were much too short for me, and layering would have been impossible.
Size medium (on pictures) is perfectly comfy; it's more roomy then what I'm used to in waist and opening, but I dig it !
I think you need to go with the intended fit for this one.

Picture with closed shirt is with only a T under, the ones with the shirt open are with a sweatshirt (not a IH-thick one )

@AdamJ Many thx for the info

@AdamJ Will those get a restock this year still ?

Joined da slub-club too, patiently waiting now

ouch, this one is on my want list, but I had kind of hoped for once that measures wouldn't be great so I could push this back to the next release, but size 33 is quasi a perfect match for me

@Shane-B Thanks Shane for confirming again, I suspect this shirt will be a great success

@AdamJ Thanks for clarifying Adam

@Biecher Strangely the work shirt is not listed as items Germany would get under their "FW25 preview" link (the western is) but IH Germany is well listed in the stockist

@AdamC Yeah I know you guys would I have already abused some of the crew member's kindness

@AdamJ Hey Adam, thank you for taking the time to respond, good to know !

And btw, I don't think it's a problem really, I think I remembered a post from Gilles (talking about a ex-colleague) saying that those "non-standard" measures from product to product were also what could make the day of someone, since all bodies are very different really.

Cheers !
