IHSH-76 - 17oz Indigo Selvedge Denim Shirt/Jacket

[nizzel55]

Tried to take some pictures of my 76 today.

It is the 101 st day today. But I took them this morning, so you could argue it only got 100 days of wear

The XL I sold to Twin had 140 days I think. When I sold it. So I still got some catching up to do.

The batteries to my flash died during the attempt.
Light is a problem atm.
I guess it is just that time of the year and my apartment is not the perfect place to shoot.

Anyhow here are some pictures.

2015-09-21 - 101 days (00 soak, 00 hand washes, 00 machine wash)

Completed form. Waiting and hoping for a XXXXL to materialize.

[Giles]

It will, but it is a few months away….

Gave my large a soak In the tub the other day. It shrank quite a bit.  Borderline to snug now. Haha. Guess i should have kept the xl and soaked it hot as hell before deciding to sell it and size down.
It is still very wearable. But I can only use it with t-shirt underneath.

Thanks for the tip - I'm going to TRY keeping mine dry….... I like the fit exactly as it is now.

[nizzel55]

I did as well.  Oh well…

It will stretch back out especially if you get it wet again put it on damp…pull and stretch the life out it....my xl is still to big....I can get my XL over a longsleeved T-shirt and hoodie, iron heart of coarse and a 12oz shirt... it's big

I need an xxl but no stock,

Xxxl is in stock, would you say I could get a full size drop in shrinkage?

My XXXL is a little "trim" compared to the usual sizing on XXXL.  Thats why I'd hate for it to see water.  You could probably get away with it.

[PSB]

I soaked mine recently. I wanted it a little narrower in the torso, but the sleeve length was good, so I pulled on the sleeves a little bit while it was still damp to make sure they wouldn't shorten up. Not sure if it's the placebo effect, but I thought it made the fit better for me.

[Haddtoo 555]

One way to test that placebo effect is to get it if wet again without pulling on it

[nizzel55]

I have not measured the shirt. Before or after the soak. But I guess you could ha a look at the 99. It shrank in the overdyeing process. As I understood it.
My large is tighter now after the soak. The biggest difference is around the shoulder area and the sleeve length as they are quite noticeable for me.

[organisys]

Thanks guys, anyone else?

I own a 99 which is XXXL so a hot wash and tumble might do it….

[nizzel55]

After a couple of days of use and abuse the shirt has stretched some again. I can now button up all the way without feeling like someone is choking me. I still kind of regret that I soaked it in warm water for 35 minutes. It was bound to see water at some point. But if I could do it again I would use cold water and let it soak for a shorter time.
