IHSH-216-NAV - Heavy Moleskin CPO Shirt - Navy

I'm with you,totally terrified to attempt to wash this. Probably do it by hand with Woolite when the time comes.
A hand wash seems like a safe bet. Moleskin strikes me as the type of fabric that would attract lint in a washing machine.

The Self Edge exclusive black version is now live (as is the navy version.)

Used mine for our Christmas cards this year. That marks the second year I've used a moleskin from Iron Heart. Gotta get the black one for next year.

I machine washed my 216 (the brown one) warm, on a low agitation cycle, with spin, and tumble dried it on low heat. No appreciable shrinkage.
I did get two identical creases set into the sleeves going up from where they doubled over to be sewn into the cuffs. This may be from the spin cycle, and then they were cemented by the dryer. I can’t be bothered to iron, but I imagine the creases could be smoothed out.
Long story short, maybe don’t machine wash if you’re picky!

I’ve worn and washed mine several times. The last time I washed it on the synthetic cycle instead of the hand wash cycle because it was starting to stink. I never spun it regardless of the washing cycle.
You can see from the pics that distressing happens. The diagonal line across the right pocket appeared after the last wash. I’m not sure if it’s a soap stain or a crease because it’s an odd place to have a crease and it stops abruptly. Since the virus arrived I’ve barely worn the shirt so I also can say if the white mark will disappear with time.
Note that the distressing is exaggerated in the pics. In real life it’s not as noticeable.
My advice would be to wash it on the hand or gentle cycle and definitely don’t spin it.

Love this thing already and it’s day 1.
The fit is great over a light hoody
