IHSH-27 - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt

[Max Power]

I know that this argument is valid and often uttered, but we're speaking of a few days here and of a shirt, that gets less stress than a pair of jeans. Again, my opinion and personal experience…

IH SH 27 worn since April, two handwashes.

@Giles:

The reason for soaking raw denim is only in part to get the shrinkage out, it is also to bed in the constructional threads, if you do not soak raw denim prior to wear you will reduce the life of the garment…...So yes, of course no "must" just seems a little silly to me to reduce the life of a perfectly good garment....

"Bedding in the constructional threads"–I had never thought about this aspect before. It seems extremely important in hindsight now. I may go ahead and soak my raw workshirts now.

Nearing the 10 month mark I think, worn in the evenings and weekends.

Probably my favorite evo on the shirt, though not captured well by my shitty photography work.

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of this beast..

An attempt to capture the vertical forearm fading.

Damn. Shirt looks good though. You would know that already by my "Like."

This is what it might look like after approx. 5 months (worn since April, almost everyday since Oct. but not in "summer").

@Clop:

Denim shirts are definitely stubborn, at least the 27 sure has been. But after nearly a year, the 27 starts to give in and it's certainly my favorite IH item I've purchased (superblack type 3 a close 2nd). This is a shirt that will one day be my next project.

@Max:

^pics of the 27?

It's not mine, it's in the bathroom at my best friend's tattoo shop..

It's a framed sheet of original uncut stickers. I'll ask him where he got it from..

She's enjoying the sun for a bit.

Now she is sick of it and ready to watch The Shield for a bit!

[Clop]

Not the best lighting/camera, but oh well.

We're spending a week in Brittany (the western tip of France, same weather as the region where Plymouth/Falmouth are located, Cornwall?)

I'm wearing my IHSH-27 with my IHD-01od on top of it and my 634XHS and I love how those 3 go together. Even though the weather is too cold and very damp, the combination looks too awesome for me to put a sweater on.
