      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.

                nice markmont
                careful about adjustments though
                this one will shrink more in the wash even if you've already soaked it

                  This shirt also gets pretty crazy combs with wear, so sleeve length will shorten as well.

                      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.

                        It'll settle. Wear it hard for a month first, I'd say.

                          mark I'm guessing M for you? I wear S and find the fit perfect, washed twice and I swear it still shrank a little more with the second wash

                            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.

                              Isn't this shirt supposed to be soaked prior to wearing?.. It could/ would help with the vertical length and the length of your sleeves, markmont…

                              I realise you don't want the other measurements to change, but shrinkage of chest is minimal, really...

                                That shirt is raw, you MUST soak before wear.

                                    ^^ I did soak it. What I meant was I don't want to soak it again.

                                      try a half cuff to get rid of some stacking?

                                        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 ?
