Due to an unfortunate (but ultimately brilliant) accident the first 10 or so rolls of the new denim were woven with the wrong weft…..Doh. It came out lighter in weight than we wanted. So that has delayed things a little, I'm hoping to see finished samples when I am in Japan in 4 weeks or so, and see general availability March-ish.
Why the brilliance? Because we have a 13 or so ounce vintage type denim to make shirts from....Feckin BOOM....

White weft/indigo warp…Think mid 20th Century Levi's....
Why not make a western shirt with sawtooth pockets.

40 degrees will not shrink anything . You're all good on that. 30 would be even better
It will shrink wool, especially Merino or Cashmere, but I am being pedantic… I know you are refering to most IH gear.

That's what I thought. Perfect.
So we might see an IHSH-33-VIN? Either way I want one already….
Nice. As what you can lack in high contrast fades can be made up with really nice mid blue colour once the denim is truly broken in and washed a few times.

….and as giles will tell you, alot of the shrinkage comes from the agitation of the cotton fibres in the washing machine drum.
