@Aetas good eye. IH workshirts and color coordinated Rotrings. Two of my favorites

[Cymro]

@GuyForget snap!

@Oaktavia went hiking in my 443 yesterday. Got very sweaty. Mine has had three washes already. Def bringing the fabric to life.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle hell yeah dude stoked to see where we take these.

[GuyForget]

@Cymro my brethren

[will6er]

Anyone washed this? I just threw it in with the "regular" family stuff and fucked it a bit. Good news: it will fade. Bad news: I need to integrate these marbles in. Hoping I can fade back consistently over time.

@will6er wabi sabi my friend. I’m sure any marbling will blend over time

[Mizmazzle]

@will6er I’ve washed mine 3 times on delicate. Sleeves came in about 1/2” but i havent experienced any marbling or uneven lines etc.

Do you have any pics to show what you’re experiencing?

[will6er]

Light was fading but you get the idea. A line on the back, 2 on the front.

I think it’s best to pre soak before you throw it in the wash. Haven’t washed mine yet. Waiting until it smells

[will6er]

@Chibs With jeans always presoak / inside out / no spin / 30. This time inside out and 30 but not the rest. I spooned it

I will learn to live with it.

[Mizmazzle]

@will6er yeah, any heavy indigo item I always presoak and use no spin.

You’ll be good though man. It’s gonna take a bit of time but eventually it’s all gonna wear even. I plan to wash my quite a bit, for a more vintage like evo. That would help you even things out faster too.

Any of yall noticing this shirt shrinks after washing?

I have washed mine a couple times now doing only a cold wash, no spin, hang dry and I have primarily lost length in the shirt. Almost 1.5” to be exact which is a little concerning as it is almost too short now.

[Mizmazzle]

@Ral1121 I’ve washed mine about 4-5 times now. Delicate on cold without spin then hang dry. I’ve only lost 1/2 inch.

I often give my shirts a hand pull when they are wet to get some lost length back in body and sleeve. I’ve made several questionable shirts whole again this way.

[Oaktavia]

I’ve washed my 444 on warm a few times with minimal shrinkage.

Instant favorite.
