yeah, I think China better at sewing buttons. Almost all Japan-made shirts I’ve got have this problem. I like to think it’s by design: Forcing the wearer to make a personal connection with the garment by re-sewing buttons back onto the garment. Good opportunity to swap out thread colors and if you loose ‘em the buttons themselves.

@Matt I wonder if more IH workshirts migrate to snaps (not buttons)…esp those with +9oz fabrics.

Well crap. I just did my first wash. Buttoned up and inside out. Hung up to dry without noticing any issues. Did measurements of chest and length pre-wash. Hoping for no shrinkage this the hang dry.

I love how this community and company can handle a problem without either flying off the handle and communicating honestly. I didn't scroll forever so I hope this is as correct as I think it is lol

There's been some shrinkage but I didn't have time to measure this am. It's about 99% dry at this point and the chest and length seem a bit tighter. Sleeves have not changed noticably. Fabric has brightened nicely.

@CosmoSix5 damn this is cool, kind of looks like what i'd imagine blue dragon scales to look like

Short cold wash, hang dry. Lost .5" in chest and length. Yikes.
Tried ironing it? Whenever I wash a UHF I worry it’s shrunk, then I run the iron over it and it fits the same as before

@Alex I can try. However the measurements were taken after id worn it all day. So it may have been slightly worse earlier. Still it's comfortable with a shirt under it. As long as it's done.
