      Wow, that's amazing. (A short-sleeved denim-shirt would kick ass :-X).

        general availability March-ish.

        Just in time for spring/summer!

        @Giles:

        Why the brilliance?  Because we have a 13 or so ounce vintage type denim to make shirts from….Feckin BOOM....

        Double brilliant. I like a lot. When you say vintage type, what does that refer to?

            At the risk of appearing dumb, does that mean traditional weave with white weft, that isn't specifically designed to create high contrasts? If so, that sounds ace.

                That's what I thought. Perfect.

                So we might see an IHSH-33-VIN? Either way I want one already….

                    40 degrees will not shrink anything . You're all good on that. 30 would be even better

                      60 degrees is equivalent of a warm wash I'd imagine. It'll shrink unsanforized jawns meaningfully and cotton shirts too. 90 degrees will fuck most of your shit up beyond repair.

                        It will shrink wool, especially Merino or Cashmere, but I am being pedantic… I know you are refering to most IH gear.

                          Tru dat ^ And that is also where your 30 degrees comes in.

                            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.

                                there is a wash tag in every item, have a look on it, you guys spend your money on quality and not on crap… Zero to nothing will happen if you machine wash the stuff with 30C or 40C, if the item is not raw.

                                        they don't shrink that much, I had a Large 51, that was not bad fitting, but had some room to… now it fits perfect.
