@BalticBob We all do it…some more than others

@Alex I wish that happened every time I asked about a re-stock

Is anyone able to wear a watch with the cuff buttoned on this shirt? Looking it seems work shirts have a much smaller cuff opening. Shirt fits great everywhere else
-
@bluemantra This shirt has a particularly tight cuff compared to other work shirts from IH which I have. I don't think you would be able to fit a watch under it if you took a normal size. If you're wearing a larger size, then it might work.
-
@bluemantra I have a few watch/IH sleeve combos that do not work well together, just accept the fact, and wear the cuff unbuttoned. The western’s I make work by buttoning the lowest button and leaving the second one undone.
-
I can wear a watch with mine @bluemantra but it does catch a little when moving my arm. I just live with it.

Looking for collected IH wisdom …
I was fortunate enough to buy one of these wonderful shirts during the sale and it arrived today. My first Serge shirt and I’m mighty impressed with the material - it will be great for work. Fit is excellent and there is a crispness to the feel. My question is that there are a couple of creases in the arms from it being folded. Would soaking the shirt get rid of the creases or should I just wear it?
-
@Denman-John I soaked and then after it was
mostly dry I put in in dryer with no heat and a fabric softener. It seemed to do the trick to get the creases out. That said even after a year of beating it up it’s still crispy.IG: selvedgelooks

@Denman-John I’m lazy and would just wear it till folds are forgotten…bet it’ll take only a few wears (if not just one). I also just purchased this it’s very nice.
-
@jdwaid @goosehd @Boit Thanks for the advice. I wore the shirt this morning for about an hour walking the dog. I think I’ll end up giving it a soak as the creases are in there pretty heavy.
This is my first serge shirt and really like the feel of it. This will definitely be heavy in the rotation!
The shirt is greener than what is captured in the photo.

Looks good @Denman-John. One of my favorite IH shirts.
-
@Denman-John I used to have this in the military cut. Really liking how it looks as a work shirt.
-
@Mizmazzle I can’t say enough good things about this shirt. The material, cut and colour are incredible and more serge will be coming my way in the future!
-
Cross-post from WAYWT. I’ve been wearing this shirt everywhere the last year. Hard labor, camping, yard work, pretty much anywhere I need a tough outer layer. It’s worn in nicely and has become one of my go-to pieces. The color loss is subtle and texture feels both soft and crispy at the same time.
-
You wear that shirt (and ducks) well! It really is a good work shirt and tough as nails.
Mine’s due for its first wash, any tips?
-
@Denman-John thank you! I hand wash in cold water, light agitation at first and then 30 mins soak, then clean water soak / rinse and lay flay to dry. I found there was about 1/2" shrinkage in the chest and length the first time I got it wet, so be careful if you're worried about that. The serge relaxed back out eventually but it took some time.
-
Glad this shirt is in continuous production. It might have to become one of my first IH shirts, if not the first.
