IHSH-68-ind - 12oz Wabash Work Shirt - Indigo

[profdbrk]

Since losing about 30lbs/13+kg with the intention of staying that old self, I find myself in shirts a bit too big.  I washed my wabash hot and got about 1cm shrinkage P2P.  Truth is, I needed more and so just sprang for this work shirt (in black) to size down.  Because IH shirts like this are so substantial I think a proper fit is even more important because of drape of the weightier shirt.  With rayon or light chambrays you can kinda' get away with the flow a bit more, at least imo.  It's gonna end up being expensive but worth it.  I live in these IH shirts now.

Thanks @neph93 and @profdbrk for the info.  I own the western version and wish the P2P was just a tad smaller.  Since the work shirt version is wider I was hoping a hot wash will shrink the P2P just enough to be not so baggy.

I may have made the mistake of having a quick look at the numbers of these available thismorning, only to see that there was just 1 L left (there was 6 last time I checked)…

I panicked and spent $285 I wasnt planning on spending

[neph93]

They tend to go quick in L and XL these days. While unplanned 285USD purchases are pretty scary/uncomfortable you will most likely thank your reckless self down the line [emoji1] It is normally the case for me.

@neph93 Oh i dont regret it one bit. Have been wanting one of these bad boys for a while now so it was inevitable when I saw that restock notification.

Havent taken my IHSH-33 since I got it maybe 3 months ago and its only just starting to show hints of the beginnings of a fade. Now I will have to add this one to the rotation!

Sorry about that….   Some stuff goes so quickly these days....

[neph93]

Shirt fades are a different business in my experience, because of the need to wash more regularly and because they get rotated more. But the same applies. Wear, work, wash, repeat. It is a gentler but no less rewarding process.

On that note, how and how often would you was the 33? I havent put mine through yet haha (wear a t-shirt under so it aint too stanky).

And no worries @Giles theres probably worse problems to have haha

[neph93]

Hmmm… It depends. Five to ten wears?

[jordanf]

She's probably due then haha. Med temp machine wash inside out? How do you dry it?

[neph93]

These things are different for different people. My body odour transfers quickly but the most common cause of a wash is bread dough or flour [emoji1].

I soak it with the shower head thoroughly then do 40C on low spin (600-800rpm). Air dry on a hanger.

[jordanf]

Perfect, might give it a crack tomorrow.

leaped at the 68blk when it showed up-waiting for summer to give up the ghost

[neph93]

Wise move, Ed. I have my eye on the 62-BLK… hoping the stock holds until my b’day in 6 weeks time.

The ‘New’ buttons are amazing!

Hard to handle at the first moment, but feeling strongly and adorable!

[JDelage]

I am so-so on the new buttons. They're much thinner than the previous version. They feel sharp and are a less comfortable to use. They also feel (subjectively) less hefty / luxurious…

I can hear you @JDelage .
Thinnner… yes.
Sharp ... yes. Used a 500 sandpaper to ease the edges.
Less hefty... perhaps.

But I was looking at this workshirt for a long time, never had the opportunity to get the old one. Think it was the only chance to get some Aluminum buttons, that I always identified as something special.

The IHSH-266 is on its way and coming close.

[JDelage]

Oh, I'm in the same situation. This shirt is great; the buttons are just marginally less good (again, subjectively) than the previous version. We're talking details.
