My new diamond & dots shirt just came in
Got a 44 because my 42 of an older FH wabash is a bit too tight. I think a 43 will be ideal. Anyone tried shrinking one of their denim shirts? It's pre-washed but pretty sure I can blast it down to size, would be interested to hear if anyone has done the same.

I don't want to tell you to destroy your shirt by attempting to shrink it, but I was talking to Tyler at SELA when I tried that shirt on and he said that even though its rinsed you can definitely can some shrinkage out of it. Good luck!

I just about akways hot wash my shirts to get just a bit more of a snug "tailored" fit…. I know many people are scared of the washing machine for some reason but its my best friend for adjustments in size... I was even able to get shrinkage out if an IHD-01od which reportedly had zero shrinkage left because of OD process... Just my $0.02
-
Ran home for lunch and blasted the DnD. Almost a perfect fit now!
Thanks for the advice y'all!

Also got a lot of tailoring done on my heavy short sleeve chambray IH by doing a scalding soak for a half hour and an air dry. It didn't seem one-washed to me, fits perfectly now.

I ve done it three times. No shrinkage at all. Sry mate!

Interesting–I wonder if your washer or dryer isn't high temp enough? I blasted it once for 27 minutes alone and inside out in the washer set to whites, dried it on high for 45 minutes, and it got the job done.

I dont even use the dryer just a hot wash on high spin air dried and get plenty of shrinkage.. Have a front loading HE washer if that makes a difference…
-
Yeah. As mentioned I used a utility sink and feckin hot ass water for a 30 minut hot soak of my IH as chambray and air dried that. A supposed minimal shrinkage garment that was a tad large now looks bespoke.

Didn't Paula have one?

Agreed, in that pic the B stands for Badass

You should pull it out of the closet more often.
