IHSH-389-IND - 12oz Dobby Cloth CPO Shirt - Indigo

[Oaktavia]

I've been wiring this 389 to sleep as PJs like @Mizmazzle does with it's heavyweight cousin. Otherwise wearing it under my 140IG lately too. I dig the lightweight fabric because it's great for layering. I'll probably keep this up.

@Oaktavia A bit different to the 409 for sure.

Abso-feckin-lutely man a welcome change. But the 140IG is basically the 409 in T1 form so I still get my heavyweight fix.

Hey happy owners of the 389! I managed to find an XL, which the seller said has specs of 22" pit-to-pit, 29" in length, and 26" sleeves. Seems closer to the specs of a Large which can work for me, but I'll confirm when it arrives. I'm 5'9, 160 lbs, and usually wear Large Western UHF's. My question is if anyone has any experience with washing a drying this shirt and the shrinkage possible. I'd be curious if I can shave off an inch or so in the length and sleeves, but I have no experience with this material. Let me know if anyone has experienced shrinkage with washing, and more so with a tumble dry? I also don't want to compromise the dye too much and just mess the shirt up by trying to shrink it. All thoughts are welcome!

@MSav32323 In the details tab on the product page, it states that the item is one washed and no shrinkage expected. I really do not think you will be able to get an inch of shrinkage using any technique of extreme hot water and or drying.

This is what it states in the details tab: “You probably would not know these had been one-washed by looking at them, but we have put the through some serious industrial washing machines to take most of the shrinkage out of them.”

I machine washed cool and tumble-dried hot, and there wasn’t really any noticeable shrinkage. Maybe a slight tightening, but not an inch

[Mister_Brue]

@MSav32323 Agreed. I haven’t noticed any noticeable shrinkage, though I haven’t tumble dried. They did come up slightly short anyway, so you may be ok. Great shirt, so good luck with the fit.

[MSav32323]

@goosehd Thanks for the info, always helpful!

[MSav32323]

@sabergirl OK good to know, anuy amount of tightening would help, and at the end of the day this will be a great overshirt/light coat. It's smaller than a different CPO I use as a jacket, so I'm definitely safe there. As long as the measurements provided to me were accurate... I'll find out when it arrives in a little over a week. I'll send a pic to see what ya'll think. Thanks for the help!

[MSav32323]

@Mister_Brue Thanks so much, we'll see when it arrives! Appreciate ya!
