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

[Broark]

I'm having the same problem @harleysteen, the sleeves are quite long.
They fit perfectly with the cuff rolled once, which also exposes the selvedge which is nice.
I plan on doing a hot wash today, might not let it go through the spin cycle so that I avoid any odd marbling.
Once it drip dries a bit I think I'll put it in the dryer as well.

Broak, get any more soak out of your shirt? I am gonna snag a western just trying to nail down size based on shrinkage.

[Broark]

Hey guys, sorry for the delayed response.
Put the shirt though a hot wash cycle, pulled it out before the full spin and then put it through the dryer until somewhat damp and let it hang dry.
Here's the current measurements.

Shoulders: 20 in.
Chest: 24 in.
Waist:23.25 in.
Opening: 24 in.
Length: 31 in.
Sleeves: 27.5 in.

So overall I got a little bit more shrinkage, even though the sleeves shrunk a little bit more they still feel slightly big. I think once it gets more wear and the creases set they'll feel more fitted.
Hope that helps everyone out!

Thanks again @Broark. I'm gonna aim to get mine done this weekend so will add the results ASAP.

@Winchy @Broark much appreciated !! I have done a long warm soak and gotten similar results. sleeve length and width the only real issue now. I dampened the sleeves and sat at my desk working til the were completely dry, The result were some nicely set in creases which shortened the sleeves just enough to be 25.5" believe it or not. If I pull them taught they come out to 26.3" or so. Anyway - hurrah for creases! eh? haha I will probably do another hot soak and maybe a short spin in the dryer. My issue is classic for broad chested shorter fellas. At 5'8" and 180lbs of athletic build, I run the risk of getting too tight in the chest and shoulder in an effort to get the length of the body and sleeves to shrink! I am honestly considering a tailor to tapper the torso a bit as the waist bells out a bit on me.  Anyways- I see this shirt becoming a definite favorite, alongside the IH128 and IH99od.

Nice pickup twin, love this shit.
Although recently after a wash the top button fell off. Going to have to reattach it soon.

[Giles]

We did have issues with the buttons on this shirt.  We double check each button before we ship out and reattach any that we find are loose.  Sometime we miss the bad ons, sorry.  We have spare buttons here if needed.

I think we know the solution for this:

Snaps on work shirts!!!

[Broark]

No worries G, I still have the button luckily. Found it in the washing machine.
Just need to go buy a needle and thread to reattach it, should't be too hard.
I'll try and snap some photos of my shirt soon, not much going on yet but the combs on the arms are settling in nicely.

[denimeric]

I had my wife re-enforce the buttons imediately,and had no problems ever since.

I have to say the quality of this shirt is out of this world!  My favorite work-shirt already.
