IHSH-363-NAV - 10oz Organic Chambray Work Shirt - Navy Blue

Don't mean to detract from this beautiful shirt, but damn that Jacket looks great!

I have a question about fit. I understand that the work shirt fit is more generous than the western fit. I'm considering buying this shirt and want to have the option to tuck it in for office wear. I know... that is heretical to some purists, but I work in medicine and have to dress the part. I just don't want the shirt to be too boxy and billowy around the waist.

So, my question: Is this shirt ok to be tucked? Or, should I be looking at other brands of chambray with more taper?

@TelemarkTumalo I do not have this shirt in my hands yet (purchased the mocha) but dimensions are in line w other work shirt chambrays, to which I own and wear (military) tucked at work often. I usually ask the crew my tag size in the longest length measurement available.

[iammortalcombat]

Work shirts can be tucked depending on your own body. I have to get a xxx in work shirts for the shoulder which makes the chest a little roomy for me therefore the body is a little bigger. Can still tuck all my work shirts if I wanted though.

You can also have a good trailer take it in if needed. Don’t be afraid to tailor ever.

Thanks to the sizing advice I got here, I chose the medium and happy with the fit. My concerns about tucking have been addressed. This is after one wash. Quality is exactly as I expected. My only complaint is the relatively small diameter cuffs. Hard to wear a watch under there.

This shirt is making it hard to hold out on the last couple uhfs! Hoping the timing works out. How’s the hand on this thing?

[flannel slut]

@WhiskeySandwich considering this is a chambray, very cronchy.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@flannel-slut it does look that way in pics. I'm sure it'd soften up tho, ya?

[flannel slut]

@WhiskeySandwich I’ve only worn mine twice but I would assume so bud

[SKT]

I just picked one of these up and love it. It’s just a hair big for me…wondering what you guys have experienced regarding washing and shrinkage?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SKT yooo, wore mine to work for the first day today. It was also a little large but def glad I didn’t size down. Washed it cold when I first got it, threw it in the dryer - negligible shrinkage but I didn’t fully dry it. Probably will next time just to tighten it up. I think this one will get regular wash/dry routine rather than any special treatment. I think it’ll drape nicely once it softens up. I was even thinking about overdye gray a little. I have a feeling this will get some nice fuzz texture with a lot of wash/drying and might shrink a little, cuz you can feel some stretch in it.

[SKT]

@WhiskeySandwich good to hear. Yeah the texture is amazing I think. I’ll try to do a before after measurement and start with a warm wash and dry. It’s such a great color in person too.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SKT the texture is awesome and I’m sure washing will make it even more so. I do like the color, but if it starts lightening up to a baby blue I was thinking of doing a rit gray just lightly. Keep us posted on your shrink results. I was going easy as I was afraid of overdoing it.
