IHSH-220-IND - 5.5oz Selvedge Madras Check Western Shirt - Indigo

[manufc10]

The IHSH-195 Ombre flannels are seriously the nicest lightweight flannel fabric you will ever feel.  It's a crime that the lightweight stuff doesn't sell as well ….those 195's should be permanent runs.  But I get it...if the shit doesn't sell as well then it's not wise to continue to make them.

My take on the lightweight flannels is that it's dependent on the pattern/colorway. I think UHF's tend to do better because customers like aspero cotton, they're very warm and the colorways are usually pretty cool. If H were to come up with a cool colorway/pattern in a lightweight flannel they'd probably do well. I'm not saying the 195's were horrible by any means, but maybe they didn't sell as well because the ombre patterns had been done before, or maybe it was the choice of ombre colors.

Either way, even though I love my UHF's I would love more lightweight options from IH.

@Filthy @Graham 60 c wash for 1hr 30 mins, VERY SHORT tumble dry, the iron dry. I got satisfactory shrink in the sleeve and body. I'd say just over half inch in the sleeve. I am very happy with the results

@Giles @Alex more 5.5 oz Madras shoes, PLEASE! I'll buy em all

Looks good. So you got a half an inch shrink in the sleeve openings?

[Stuart.T]

Definitely in sleeve length,  and some in most other dimensions, including sleeve openings. I didn't use detergent or softener, just a straight 60 c wash, 800 spin cycle, 20 min tumble dry.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah the sleeves do look puckered up a bit. Whenever mine is dirty I will give that a shot.

I also just compared your photos from before and after and I can definitely tell the shrinkage in the sleeve length. I'd say it was the tumble drying that helped shrink it the most. Glad it fits you perfectly now

Thanks @neph93 - I really like it.

Florida has proven even hotter than Alabama, so the madras is the perfect partner in crime for me [emoji379] [emoji379][emoji379]
