@marco23d How much did it shrink? Even with a cold wash/soak?

[marco23d]

@joephoto I didn’t take measurements but I’d say a solid size. I always do cold soaks. Usually a wash after but this one I just did a soak and hung to dry outside. Sometimes I think maybe I’m doing something wrong but I don’t experience this with any other brand.

Agree with @marco23d . Mine shrank considerably. Pit to pit went from 23 to 21.5, back length from 29.5 to 28. I washed cold with minimal spin. Maybe I’m spoiled with a wealth of knowledge with IH and the forum, but I don’t think it’s too much for a manufacturer to inform customers of this, especially for a £265 shirt. Their website now states 0.5 inch shrinkage (it definitely didn’t at the time a couple of years ago).

My shirt ended on eBay and I got maybe £120 from it, so considerable loss there. Shame as I loved the fabric, fit (pre wash), and the construction was solid.

@jerkules that is quite some shrinkage. That makes sizing difficult because I could size up more and then get hardly any shrinkage and I’m left with a shirt that’s too roomy. Or I have a cold shower whilst wearing the shirt and pray for the best. Thanks

@jerkules @marco23d I am interested in getting this shirt. Normally I would get the medium, but am thinking of getting a large, and giving it s cold soak right away to remove shrinkage, would you recommend that?

@xzther8 Ill chime in (stuck on an awful conference call and happen to be wearing mine tdy) It’s been stated a thousand times before and bears repeating a thousand times more, start with the measurement charts over tag size. But yep, I think going with a large for it to fit more like a medium would be the way to go. Start with a cold soak and if you need it to tighten up more, warm soak it. For reference, mine started out a little baggy and now fits great post soak.

All solid, time proven suggestions @flannel-slut

@flannel-slut thanks man! Looks great on you, going to go with the large then.

Just picked up this cryptic western - really enjoying it as an outer layer

My only qualm is the lack of side pockets

Bought a Supply Jacket in Black Denim today. Really like the clean asthetic of that cut. Not for the traditionalists but I personally prefer it over the classic I-III type cuts.
