Y’alls washing machines get up to 90C? That not too far from boiling.

The front loaders at the Laundromat go up to 90C. I just noticed that this past weekend, actually

Wow. Gonna go To my local laundromat this week. There’s a Lebanese Restaraunt attached. I win

@neph93:

It does if you nuke it (90C). But agreed, there is only a little shrinkage on 60C.

Thank you… Guess who will be doing a "90C Wabash wash cycle" this weekend, lol!

Give everything a thorough pre-soak and turn the spin down as low as you can to avoid abrasion marks. I’ve done this with both my vests and one pair of 816’s and it’s gone well. It accelerates wear as well.

@Matty123:

I’d like To shrink just the sleeves on this shirt. Is that possible? With like a very hot Sleeve Soak? Any recommendations? @neph93 @Filthy 21/23oz junkie

if the fabric is capable of shrinking you can do it. Get a plastic bag, cut the bottom 2 corners off holes just small enough to get sleeves through. Get a CLEAN pot or container, add boiling water, hang bag above or off to the side propped up on something, agitate periodically, add hot water when it cools, do it 3x or so. Let dry or put upfront of the furnace vent or heater to really shrink and dry fast. You may or may not want to run the sleeves inside out if the fabric loses indigo fast. I didn't.

Very good fit, dude. You fill out your westerns nicely.

[emoji51] You should. I meant that it fits you well, sitting close without being snug. Sorry I was unclear in my turn of phrase [emoji28]

62 under 526L

I really like this shirt but the length is bothering me. These are 2" longer than the black version. When I look at the older pictures in this topic I don't see that extra length, only in more recent pictures.
I don't believe hot washes can get 2" off so now I am wondering, is the shirt length in the latest batch different from the one before or do I need new reading glasses… ???

[UnTucked]

Both of my IHSH-62's are longer than all of my other westerns… I just wear them with more loose fitting pants, and then it balances it out.

Thanks UnTucked. Creative solution

I only have the indigo and it's the longest shirt I have. It also comes up slim though so for me it works despite the length. Big tall guy like you should have no problems.

[Signal11]

You have a point there neph.
I love wabash so I’m also considering the white one. Length is better but white is difficult when you want to wear the shit out of it.
How do you like your white wabash?

I love it although haven’t used it much. That’s a consequence of the leg brace plus paternal leave limiting my options though. It’ll get more use when I’m back at work.

[Signal11]

That sucks. How is the knee? Slow healing process I reckon…

It's slowly improving, thanks for asking. I'm in the gym three days a week, lots of dedicated leg work. Hurts like mf afterwards but it helps too. Next time I put on either IHSH-62 I'll get you a pic
