IHSH-95 - The Johnny Cash Works Too - Superblack 12oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt
-
Looks good Finn….how big is it in the body? I'm afraid it will swamp me around the middle, being a work shirt.
But I want one
-
Thx. I'll pick one up.
-
Giles, I just got the 95 in the mail yesterday…and now wondering about the shrink. Would you expect these to shrink a whole tagged size? I'll be more specific: would you expect a large to shrink close to that of the measurements of the medium?
-
^ btw: I got the medium and the fit is spot on, but I wouldn't want it to get any smaller in length and width, so my options are to cold soak or size-up and hot soak.
-
Rafa, did you get a chance to soak your 95? Any shrink?
-
Dude, don't worry about shrinkage. Unless it's supposed to shrink just cold wash and you'll be fine
-
its supposed to shrink…as stated in product description, dude. At this point i am leaning toward returning for a size up and figured someone here would chime in regarding their experience
-
havent washed mine yet and i have no plans doing so for a while. but its denim; if you want it to shrink it will shrink, if you dont itll only shrink a tad. if youre fine with either just soaking or cold washing, i think you should stick with the medium. if you hot wash a sized up one you can probably get one size of shrinkage in length and possibly sleeves, but probably not in other areas.

^+1 what Peter said imho
From product page "Slight shrinkage to be expected, these are made slightly oversized to compensate"
Personnally i never had any issues washing any IH shirt at 30 degrees Celsius full spin. But this is how i am doing and i am not owning the 95 but would do the same. I am always wearing them a while before washing.
-
okay, i am conceding. this fits too good to worry about what it's gonna do in water. I'll just have to remind myself to take the thing off before getting into any hot tubs (;)
not to perpetuate the discussion but Peter this defies my denim logic
if you hot wash a sized up one you can probably get one size of shrinkage in length and possibly sleeves, but probably not in other areas.
i would think proportionally the width would shrink more than other dimensions in shirts because this is the longest dimension?

Already done, David. Thanks for your opinion.
…thanks wade!
