IHD-01 - Special G Denim Version

[seanocono]

Here is the main post I was thinking of;

@Max:

I did a 95 degree wash and am quite satisfied with the outcome. The bodylength and shoulders shrank 2 cm, the chest 3cm, the arms 1 cm. I think the fit is now close to perfect, no?

(Excuse the 6 o clock out of bed look)

Remember, the Max Power way is the right way…

My only concern with the dryer is you could get some marbling, if you aren't careful. I would do a super hot wash, hang dry, and see how it turns out. If you don't receive the desired results, you could always wash and then dry it again.

I had this fabric before (TWHR01) and I hot washed and dried the shit out of those jeans. This fabric doesn't marble like heavier fabrics.  This will help with the puckering/roping, which will give you some additional shrinkage.  All twills shrink, I don't care if they are sanforized or not. Sanforizing does not get all the shrinkage out (1%-5%).

Well there you go, veloaudio. Pretty sure you can take MikeC's advice to the bank. Have at it, and let us know how it goes.

^^ Nice. So excited that the od is sitting in my stack patiently waiting for my MBB. It's definitely shirt/jacket weather here.

Washed and dried and I'd say mission accomplished. I was able to get about 0.5" shrinkage across the measurements:

Pre-Wash/Dry (Wunnaz measurements, in my excitement I forgot to take my own before washing)
P2P - 22.5"
Shoulder - 19"
Arm - 27"
Length(Back) - 31.9"

Post Wash
P2P- 22"
Shoulder- 18.5"
Arm- 26.5"
Length(back)- 31.5"

FYI, I used a High Efficiency front loader on a light soil cycle.

Well Done, Veloaudio.

Glad everything worked out! Looks great on you.

Received my Large OD today and the fit is much better in the shoulders and length. Definitely not going to be used as an overshirt now but that's fine with me.

Looks perfect dude. Drapes very nicely. Congrats!

[Finn666]

^ nothing more to add…great fit!

[GingerMagician]

Great fit, velo - perfect.

Wearing mine today (with the MBBs of course… ;)).  Still my current favourite, though the 78 runs it close.

This od version has become my go to hangout shirt even when tempted on new purchases.  Road tripping in style.
