You guys get any shrink with the 142 or the 137? I find their "minimal to no shrink" fairly variable with a simple cold wash. Got a noticeable amount of shrink recently with the 13-indigo washed lightly on cold. Thanks.

Looks like an 07, which IMO is the best IH value out there, especially through Rakuten.

I think for someone that likes hickory stripe, the 07 is the cream of the crop, providing the IH sizing works. I love mine.

Interestingly enough, my 07 gets the least love. I liked it initially, but now that I have so many IH shirts, there's just nothing special about it to make me want to wear it.

I like hickory stripes now. I took the plunge on the 62 indigo and 07. My first jump into western shirts really. I mean I bought a lucky brand $8 western flannel to test out snaps. I dig westerns now and I never ever thought I would.

Man, the IHAL-01 horse hide cafe racer is pretty damn nice for $800 as a IHUK special.

There are worse problems to have, lol, but that is why I have curtailed my purchases, as when you get so many,some just naturally get relegated to the back of the line.

ickes, FYI, I may actually keep the yellow 137 and they're available on RB. It is 22.5 p2p which is pushing it. Just love the 137, especially the yellow. Not too confident of zero shrinkage. Just washed the XL 142 and it appears relatively unchanged for the most part. Does flare a bit in the waste a bit; what a great shirt. May wear to work with some indigo chinos...)

Just an FYI:
I know Giles did the official "shrink test" on his large 1600 (Lost .5" in length and p2p), but I have also washed and dried both of mine 2x now, and there is no noticeable shrink at all. I didn't measure (You guys should know me by now, lol), but I cannot feel any difference in the fit on either my white o black 1600. They're great shirts.

Thank you. If the specs turn out, I KNOW I will love it. I may even wear it to bed, the first few nights. Edit: I had planned on backing a pair of Truman horsehides, as well. This could be an expensive week.

I have $0 weeks at least once a month, lol! Expensive is MF campus jacket, the rest of the money for my gear from Indigogene, deposit on new Role Club's and a jacket from the IHUK forum B/S/T area... But, I also made like $900 selling *CRAP in the past 2 weeks.

Just closed the deal on the IHSH-65 and IHV-04 on the IHUK forum. The 04 was a no-brainer to a vest man, with 21oz of grey loveliness. I hadn't thought about that shirt, but it looks quite nice and similar to the light grey western I was interested in.

Yeah, I really like the 02s and this is just a beefier version. It also seems to be 0.5" longer in the back (didn't ask about the front), so no bad thing. I'll be at 6 IH vests when this lands, but that's me completed the set now. Mind you, I do like the look of the 526SV...
