How can you tell the difference between the IHSH-127 and IHSH-127 V2? How do y’all wash these? Delicate cycle inside out or dry clean? I already have the black/grey and about to pick up the Red. Love these!

I just purchased a IHSH-32 in black. It was only worn a handful of times by the original owner and never washed. It’s an XL and fits perfect. I’d like to wash it, but scared it might shrink. How do y’all wash your IH flannels? Maybe I should have it dry cleaned or how about a delicate cold wash w/ hang dry?

Ill try a cold delicate cycle and hang to dry.

@Chris:

I wash all my shirts inside out on regular cycle, cold.  Tumble dry, high heat.  I don't recall ever having any problems.  Currently, I have the 58, 68, 91, 119, 154 and 165.  I've owned a couple of others over the years and treated them the same.

I might be in the minority on this, but I believe carefully crafted rugged wear should be able to withstand the same routine as the cheaply made shirt I bought off a clearance rack, so I treat them accordingly.

No shrinkage on the Chambray with high heat dryer? I'm going to probably air dry mine when the time comes. I'm already pushing it in the shoulder and Lats area. My "V" taper is a blessing and a curse when it comes to shirts.

My IHSH-13 shipped this past Thursday and it arrived this morning (Monday). That's some pretty darn fast shipping!  It fit like a glove. I'm glad I went with the XL instead of the Large. No way it would have fit me in the shoulder area. Maybe I need to tone down my shoulder workouts.  :D. It's a beautiful shirt and built like a tank. I'm so glad I went with the Mother of Pearl snaps. It really does make the shirt.

How do y'all wash your 13 in the States? The tag says that our washers are a bit rough. Thoughts? Tips?

@Giles:

Fixed….

Thank you for taking care of me, Giles. Great customer service is hard to find these days.

@Chris:

Gotta ask, @Senorx, where in Texas?

Oh, and I think the XL was a good call. I'm 6'0", 175 lbs, and I usually go XL. I should note that I like my shirts a bit loose, so I can layer them…

I live out in the country right outside San Antonio.

Loving the 13 in black. I just ordered the 13 in indigo. As soon as I verify the fit, I think this might be my next purchase.

@manufc10:

well just realized my chest is .5" bigger than yours but either way if you normally wear shirts with 20" shoulders then I would recommend trying the XL.

I went and looked at the XL measurements and I think you're absolutely right. I'm an athletic gym going 6'2" 185lbs. Hope I can contact customer service and get my order changed.

I just ordered the size Large and went with the Mother of Pearl snaps. All the measurements seem to be perfect when I measured my best fitting shirt. The only exception was all my shirts had 20 inch shoulders and the size Large is listed at 18.2 inches. Will this make the sleeves shorter or am I totally wrong?  My sleeves on my shirt at home measured 26.5 and the IHSH-13 in Large is 26 inches. The 26.5 inches is a tad too long and I could definitely give up .5 inches or so. Please tell me I'm reading way too much into this. Anyway send my shirt down to Texas! The wait will be brutal.
