Heck yeah man, the shots of yours convinced me to go for the long sleeve. Very glad I did.

Oh whoops I posted in the wrong thread. Either way, awesome shirts!

This is such a nice summer shirt! Had my first night out in town with it yesterday. It's sturdy, but then with only 6 oz also comfortably light and not too warm. Wish there were more IH shirts with such a light fabric.

Kick ass shirt!

[jerkules]

@Traditional__edc  fu*k yes! Looks great on you.

[Traditional__edc]

@jerkules Greatly Appreciated! This is most definitely one of my favorite shirts I own.

Patiently waiting on a size M return….

[trivsdotcom]

Size L, perfect! Very hyped on this one.

I scored too.  These lighter weight shirts–-by IH standards---work layers so easily.  You get to double or triple up your IH on top.  I mean to score the 10oz too.  Half way there.

@trivsdotcom shirt looks very good. Nice fit in the jeans too, are they IH? Model number?

[trivsdotcom]

@jerkules , thanks on both! The jeans are 18oz 634 (I’m a size 33). Picked them up in March and have been loving them.

[jerkules]

Nice @trivsdotcom i am really digging the 634 the more I see it. I’ll definitely try a pair one day.

Why is this $30 more than the 12oz 266? Am i missing something? I thought the only difference is weight, so why the lighter fabric more expensive?

[Giles]

Because costs are rising astronomically in Japan.  Newer stuff is prices and what it should be, older stuff lags behind, but will inevitably rise too…..

Do you know when the restock will be?
In the near future or not until spring?

[AdamJ]

@MichalM no plans at present, possibly next year

[jerkules]

Has anyone tried to shrink this fabric? The product description says no shrinkage up to 30C. I'm thinking of giving mine a hot wash, but I'm not sure how hot to go. Ideally, I'd want to lose around a half size. TIA.

[endo]

Mine didn't shrink with normal wash (30°C), but you should achieve some shrinkage with higher temperatures and tumble drying, however also indigo loss.

[jerkules]

Thank you @endo . Think I'll do it incrementally; 40°C with a 30-minute tumble to begin with, and go higher if needed.

[jerkules]

Sharing my shrink test in case it’s helpful.

Washed at 40°C, 600 RPM spin. In my machine this cycle lasts about 50 minutes. I then tumble dried for 30 minutes on a “Synthetic” program, which I believe is cooler than cotton a cotton program.

Before \ after (inches):
Shoulder: 19 \ 18.75
Chest: 23.5 \ 23
Back length: 30.5 \ 29.75
Sleeve: 26.5 \ 26

Glad I went gentle as looks like there’s the potential for considerable shrinkage!

Shirt is still a little damp, so hard to say if there’s been much indigo loss. If there’s anything noticeable, I will put some photos up once it’s dry.
