IHSH-147 - Lightweight Selvedge Chambray Short-Sleeved Work Shirt

[Appfaff]

Perfect measures on this one!

[billverstein]

Just ordered one!
I have read the Product Care Guidelines thread, and the bit about chambray's is pretty short and to the point, but does anyone recommend cold soaking IH chambrays before wearing? Or is it a pretty basic wear and wash regularly type thing?

never hurts to do it, but since it is a light weight fabric, you can as well just rock it out of the bag and wash it when needed…

the minimize thread stress and embedding into the fabric (the reason to soak, beside the get rid of starch), is not really a factor on a light weight fabric imo

Fantastic shirt once again from the stubborn crew. Love how the lighter fabric allowed the team to do some cool details (such as the stitching) that differ slightly from my other IH workshirts.

The thread color + the shade of red is perfect:

Love the new tags:

The collar seems a different shape, although I bet it just lays different due to the weight.

Quick fit pick. Pretty standard vintage fit for me. Could have gone a size smaller for a more modern fitted look, but this should let me wash and dry frequently this summer without worry

Probably would have copped this shirt if the sleeves weren't so darn long. Oh well.

[Appfaff]

an easy cuff or a $10 alteration could fix that i'm sure!

Good point.

You should go for it.  I picked up a natty and a red for the impending TX heat and these are perfect summer weight shirts.

Short sleeve goodness!  Just ordered the red.  My old 26ss will finally get some reinforcements this summer.

Wow, I am really enjoying these shirts!  I grabbed a red, then immediately secured one in white after I tried it.  Great summer shirts for guys like me who don't really like wearing t-shirts or polos.  Please make one of these in blue!  I missed out on the 135 Navy style chambray.

There's a restock due any day now, but not sure if all sizes will be available though…

How see through is the natural?

That is a spectacular fit, sir. I especially dig the cuffed arms. Makes me wish I lived in a warmer climate.

@tinman great question

@TinMan:

How see through is the natural?

How is "see through" measured?

[deanclean]

Hmmm another good question. I guess I need to know how much my chest will show through. I suppose that is hard to measure. Only one way to find out I guess!

@Giles:

Percentage of nipple visible?

Based on your avatar @Chris there is not a shirt thick enough to keep your chest hair from being visible
