We have washed a full size range of these.  We will publish the results shortly and sell them as one-washed, to take a little of the guesswork out of the sizing…..

Nice! The sizing really didn't seem to work for me. Maybe a washed version will.

[Appfaff]

Mine is in the dryer now. I will put together a size chart similar to the one Giles and Alex did for the XL for my XXL.

I will post pre-wash / post wash+ dry/ and Post Warm Iron sizing here in about an hour when the delicate dry is through

EDIT: just saw Giles comment about the pre-wash chart. Whoops!

Thanks. No, I know poor picture, it's the IH-526J, was wearing the 21oz Tux + Kanreki today

I know this will be pure lagniappe once the size chart for the washed 179s get posted but figured I'd share my experience nonetheless

I took measures before a wash, cold wash + low machine dry, and then after a warm iron.

@UnTucked:

I washed and machine dried, but I'm not a "measurer"… I didn't measure before or after, but I do know that it shrank some. Most notably, in the length department (Over-all length, and sleeve length).

same. except i air-dryed it on a hanger.

Just measured up my 179 pre wash (results to follow) and noticed how the collar, yoke and pattern design all match up. That is some rather fekkin' tidy designing/cutting/sewing [emoji7]

179 in XL washed at 50C/1000rpm and hang dried. Measurements before/after:

One thing should be noted; I'd worn it three times before I measured it and my subjective impression is that this fabric is stretchy. When I tried it on post wash it seemed to be the same in the chest as it was when I first tried it on. So definitely length to be lost but I think there's minimal to lose in the chest and shoulders, and it will come back with one wear, much like a pair of jeans.

I've said it before, but this really is a great shirt in the flesh. Lovely to wear and the colours and pattern are tasty.

Good to see that the length shrinks quite a bit after a warm wash.

@Appfaff:

^ the lightweight fabric allows for maximum mobility when it comes to pouring hot water over the top of a 4 cup chemex [emoji12]

Also, the flannel material provided adequate insulation from boiling water spills and keeps you cozy while enjoying said cup of joe.

Dont let this intel spread, I don´t wann see hipster baristas wearing Iron Heart under their aprons

@TheTrooper - the secret is safe with me. The baristas around my neck of the woods still find ironic t shirts with cat sayings on them to be "cool."

By the way:

Dryer worked perfectly, fits like a charm now

That's great news. It's a very forgiving material I think.
