IHSH-27 - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt
-
I tried to take some evo shots lately too, but there is not enough to be postworthy.

IHSH27, by far my most worn shirt (and if only every evening on the couch), since, I think, March.
Contrast is not that sharp in reality, so i was pretty surprised what a flash and auto contrast can do…
-
Thank you, yeah, I am a sucker for combs (I wrote about the water recipe before). And I see you weren't wrong about the nice fading abilities od the Sh27, it just takes time.
-
Very likely that I will have the sleeves shortened and **possibly shorten the vertical length by an inch. Other than that, diggin' this shirt.

why would you wann shorten these sleeves? looks perfect to me. And whjat the guys said is true.
-
There's a decent amount of stacking, i guess you could say, in the elbow region that I just don't want. That area highlighted has a good inch of excess folded over in the crease.

we'll see - I'm 5' 7". I can wait on adjusting the vertical length since that won't affect any fades or anything. But I don't want to get creasing in the arms only to find out that I want to shorten the arms and have a ridiculous shift. As it stands now, from the elbow up it's noticeably baggy. Don't want to do a hot soak because everything else fits fine.
-
^^ I did soak it. What I meant was I don't want to soak it again.
-
Actually I wore my Sh27 raw for some weeks before the first soak. Just because it will shrink doesn't mean you have to soak it right away.
-
@max why you didn't soak it at the first time ? I think with unsanforised denim you have to soak it not only to get a better fit but also get the shrinkage out. What difference does it make if you soak it at later stage ? You will have to wash it eventually so might as well do it at the first place.. If it has faded and you have yet to soak it I think it just makes things even worse and the fades will shift up when you wash em, no ?
