[Graham]

Exact fit, boom! Cheers B.

May I ask a foolish kinda' question?

How does the fabric on this shirt compare with the IHSH-208-IND, the Kersey shirt.  Considerably lighter?

[Giles]

It feels a lot lighter and it is more breathable and pliable…

Worn under the 240 on a cold canadian morning.

Very nice indeed! The IHSH-240 is looking pretty sweet too.

[BD81]

Thanks! The 240 has got a lot of wear this winter, pretty sure it has only been washed 3x, It lost a fair bit of color on the first wash. I should have held off a while longer but oh well.

[neph93]

Shirts need to be washed! A lot more than jeans. I reckon I get 5 days wear out of heavy shirts before they smell more than I am comfortable with. Looks ace to me.

[profdbrk]

@BD81 , that shirt has a great patina.  And nobody wants to smell anything more than the iron and the heart.  Lookin'goodyo.

[BD81]

It would be washed more but i pretty much only use it as a jacket under my vest.

@protokultur if you are considering picking up the IHSH-96…go for it. Its a killer shirt, nice and lightweight for the spring / summer.

Second this…..though I will add that I find it a great weight almost year round, depending on what its layered with/under.  I wore mine out in ~45 degree weather today with a thin undershirt only and I was fairly comfortable.  I've also worn it comfortably up to about 75 degrees.

@DigitalPopsicle I haven't worn it in warm weather yet, but it does keep me real comfortable under a UHF in -15 to - 20 C. How does it breathe in the summer with no under shirt?

[DigitalPopsicle]

The waffle makes it a fairly open weave feeling to me.  I haven't worn it without an undershirt, but it does breathe well.

Got an e-mail saying that mine should arrive today.
Cant wait to try this one on now that the weather is warming up.

Sounds like a strange question, but those of you that own this shirt, would you consider it "stretchy"?

[David K.K. Hansen]

Not a strange question, I would consider this shirt a bit stretchy.

[dinobarnesberlin]

Mine comes tomorrow….hopefully:)
I will let you know if it is fact "stretchy" @Wlemon
Im looking forward to this lighter shirt for now when its slowly warming up around here.

Hi @Wlemon, by caparison to my other 12oz shirts yes. By no means a technical response but if I hold the front placket and a side seam, half width, it will happily without too much stress, stretch around an inch.

[dinobarnesberlin]

Hey  @GC cool that you got that one too.
cant wait to see what this Waffle feels like after wearing my Wabash western for the last two weeks

[neph93]

It has a reputation for being stretchy. The general advice is to size down as a result. It is a function of the waffle knit. The IHTL-1301’s and IHTL-1213’s are the same.
