Marginally better daylight pic…

Layered with the 71 - perfect for this freezing-ass 'Spring' weather

GM shirt looks great on you.

snowy nice pick-up.

This shirt looks dope!  … but with the -68 and the -07 in the closet, I tend more to the -77.
What a "data-confusion" ... Ha,ha

Glad to join the stripes-club, humans.
Fuck, how stiff this is! I think it needs a good soak. I'm pretty sure.
Great shirt, by the way…

backside of this fabric is really terrific.
What do you think about a "reverse hickory" shirt…?

[madmonday]

inside of this shirt is very similar to the most recent wabash fabric . . .

Glad to have you in the club georgealien…

[Finn666]

those eyes…oh and the fit of the shirt isn't too shabby either

[georgeel]

hmmm … I think I'm gonna love this 78!

But I found this fabric stiffer than that of 75! When I move even makes sounds: crock-crock, just like cardboard.
Tonight I'll give it a cold soak, then I'll tell you.

nice!  fit on this one is making it tempting

After soak:
This is an heavy garment that absolutely requires a break-in time, and a soaking speeds up all a little.
No shrinkage at all, but now the IHSH-78 fits better & comfortably.
78 is a little bit smaller then 75, so they can be layered whit a great result.
I love hickory and I love work shirts, so 78 is going to be one of may favorites.

Thanks for the post-wash info, georgeel.  I am delighted to learn that there will be zero shrinkage.

I agree that the fabric will take a little time to break in, and it's good to know that washing speeds the process.  I actually enjoy the crispy feeling of some of the new IH shirts.  The break in is part of the fun; like a new pair of jeans.

Regardless of preference, this shirt is fantastic.  It's so sharp.  I couldn't be happier with it.

I've put mine in for a warm spin cycle hoping to get a little shrink-age out of the chest area (seems like it'll be less work than me bulking my chest up ). Love it and it had it's first of many office spins today

[georgeel]

I made a cold soak, for accuracy.

[Snowy]

also for accuracy, I don't have before measure to compare if it has shrunk or not (about 5 minutes into the wash I realized my rookie mistake). Will compare afterwards against IH.uk measurements which have been confirmed as correct tho

78 in an heavy-layered outfit (still very cold, here).
