a CPO shirt like the IHSH-381, with 9oz mercerized black reactive dye/non fade.

This is the most complimented and commented on piece I own.

@Giles:

The only dryer we have is the wind 

Thanks @Giles.  Great info.  Appreciate ya.

@Giles:

No issues getting the over my ankle.  They stretch to get them on, but they do not lose shape with wear….I have some that are maybe 9 months old and they look almost identical to a pair I picked up a month ago.

I have a particular question.  Since 9 month old vs new is not much different, @Giles do you put these socks in the dryer or hang dry?  I bought my first pair.  After a few wears, if I find I like them a lot, likely buy a weeks worth or so.  Thanks.

I bought this shirt, it is something else.  The fabric is very light weight and crisp.  Don't sleep on it.

@Giles:

Exactly.  Will it work for everyone?  Of course not, but then bootcuts don't, 25oz doesn't, black denim doesn't, non-selvedge denim doesn't…....

I would never buy or wear black denim 

Thanks @Appfaff and @Alex.

What is the stretch in the waist on these?  Thanks.

Any other color version of the IHSH-250.  The 60/40 cotton linen blend is amazing.  Has iridescent sheen to it.

I am big fan of the short sleeve work shirt.

@Wlemon:

A quick walk around the neighborhood in the new shirt.

You have a beautiful Family.  The IHSH-250 is a perfect short sleeve in my opinion.

@Giles:

No, it is not natural indigo…...

Thanks Giles.  Love the shirt.  Perfect fit.

Received.  What a great shirt.

Is it natural indigo?  Just curious.

Thanks IH for another amazing shirt.

Wondering if that could be corrected during hemming so that the leg opening doesn't have the slant.

the leg opening slant looks cool and normal imo

@Brock:

Worth noting: mine have been through several machine washes because I work in them and as a result there are a lot of unwanted white streaks because of how stiff they are. If you can get away with soapy soaks I’d do that, if not, expect the streaks.

Thanks @Brock.  I'll stick to hand washing and soaking.

@neph93:

@Brock:

I gave mine a hot soak mainly because they were a little big and I thought it would help them soften up. They shrunk minimally and it didn’t help with the stiffness [emoji23]

I gave mine the same treatment IH recommend for the UHR (soak then machine wash) and got the decent shrinkage the product page suggests.

I should mention they’re crunchy af after the soak, but it definitely takes the edge off.

I did a long soak and hand wash, have them out to dry now. 

Anybody's thoughts or opinions, wear these raw for a time or presoak?

@neph93 picked up a tag size 33.  Matt was kind enough to find a extra half inch larger waist of 33.7  Thanks for the heads up on the outlet.
