IHSH-136 - 12oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Work Shirt

[Broark]

So sounds like pretty minimal shrinkage.
I'll still likely go with my normal size, don't want to end up with a shirt too tight.

[Seul]

Officially on my radar now… You bastards... 

[Giles]

Yeah OK, not the happiest pic….

@Giles you look like you may have put on the wet one @Madame Buttonfly just shrink tested.

Doesn't he look drippy enough already?

Link doesn't seem to be working for this version.
And never mind! Works now.

[Giles]

Yeah, sorry.  I thought Paula had made it live so announced it.  Then I checked that the link worked and it did not.  So I removed it whilst it was fixed.

Should be NOW LIVE

[Broark]

Works great now, and my order has been placed.

[Broark]

And mine just got here, really great!
Fits a little bit big, but I think I'll give it a warm/hot soak just to see if there's much shrinkage.
I think the XL would've been a little bit snug, so I think I'll stick with the XXL.
I can see this fading very quickly, just from initially slipping it on I could see the arm creases set.

Lovely cuff selvedge:

Thanks for the pics, the deep blue colour is looking dope!

[Broark]

No problem, just quickly had to take a few with the phone before taking a trip through the wash!
Definitely planning on wearing it this week. I think it'll also make for a few nice overshirt.

[Broark]

Gave it a spin today, a bit warm still to wear on it's own so I threw it over a tee so I could just slip it off if I go too warm.

And already seeing some nice creases set!

You aren't making this any easier @Broark

Great sizing on the xxx's for us wide bodies Giles. 

[Broark]

Don't sleep on it, it's a great shirt!

[Winchy]

@Broark Looking good with the striped t-shirt underneath. I'll be keen to see the pre & post measurements if you do give it a hot soak as I'd like to shrink mine down little more than it did in the initial test.

I agree!! This and the western are sized great in 3X

[Broark]

I did give it a hot soak in the washing machine to see what I could get out of it, then let it hang dry.
I still think it could be a bit slimmer through the arms, but it fits pretty nicely now buttoned up through the body.
I might even be tempted to give it another hot wash and a trip through the dryer to see what happens.
Here's the current measurements for my XXL @Winchy :
Shoulder: 20 in.
Chest: 24.5 in.
Waist: 23.5 in.
Opening: 24.2 in.
Length: 31 in.
Sleeve: 28 in.

[Winchy]

Nice one, much appreciated. I'll add the results here once I get around to doing the same.

Hi Broark, please keep us/me posted add to the shrinkage, mine is too long in the sleeves and I hope to get all the shrinkage out before I turn to a tailor. Mine is just hanging there still dry…. So please! Lead the way!
