The fading

[neph93]

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.

White weft/indigo warp…Think mid 20th Century Levi's....

That's what I thought. Perfect.

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

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

[neph93]

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.

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.

[Seul]

And who washes anything at 60C° anyway?.. Buncha loons…

[rocket]

I have washed a UHF at 90C last week…

Accident or did you try to get one from XXL to M?

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.

@TrickHell:

Where can I get some high-quality long johns / union suits?

Sunspel.com do some nice Merino base layers (under wear).
