IHSH-177 - 18oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo

@marlin:

Since I never done such partial hot soaks, I was afraid, that the soaked part of the shirt bleeds out more then the rest, and get a slightly different color. So, you or others didn't experienced something I just described above? There is nothing to worry about?

I would certainly be concerned that a partial hot soak on denim would change the quality of the indigo and cotton in such a way that there might be notable differences in the colour or hand. But I don't know for certain.

It's worth remembering that denim shrinks proportionally so there will always be more length to be lost along the arms and down the back and front, than across the shoulders or chest. And the shoulders and chest are more likely to stretch back as they are under more pressure. So a full soak might do the job you want. That being said these are once washed so you won't get much shrinkage anyway…

Yes @neph93, that's how i understood it, but was hoping to get a little more out of partial hot soaks. I certainly have the same concerns as you do.

@marlin The shirt is washed so there's no bleed. And I've seen people partially soak jeans all the time. I think maybe it was Twin I saw do it first with the leg openings of the jeans.

But it is kind of a moot point because like I was saying the hot soaks really didn't do shit.

Otherwise there is no discernible difference between the color of what I soaked and what wasn't. The body of the shirt and the sleeves look the same.

I’d have to get this with the brass buttons. My next shirt is this or the 189 and whichever one I cop is getting brassed.

@Filthy25ozJunkie, thanks for posting your practical experience!

[marlin]

The shirt had a hot soak and it shrunk very little. I am wearing a size M, underneath a IHT-1600, there is also room enough for a 3sixteen Hoody which is not as thick than the IH's.

Perfect fit @marlin
Great combo too!
I think you've encouraged me to soak my large–get the 'new' denim look out and maybe soften her up a bit.

@Dishelveled, thanks!

My sincere apologies in advance, for being so ugly.

4 total day's wear. Pro-tip: when you wash your hands, instead of using a towel to dry… ...dry your hands on your sleeve combs.

This shirt seems to be a fast fader. I saw a dramatic fade today after wearing it at work under flame retardant coveralls.

Only have this one from behind.

[Jett129]

If the black 101J that’s coming in doesn’t work out for me I’m definitely getting one of those.

Now that I've got this broken in; this is quickly becoming my favorite shirt ever. Love the selvedge detail here and how it looks with my 21oz double knee loggers. Absolutely love how hairy the denim is too.

[neph93]

Looks really good @Filthy25ozJunkie , like so good it's on my radar.

@marlin , that fit looks stellar.  I can't see how it can be loose enough to get a hoodie under and still look that fitted?!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thank you

[neph93]

@Filthy25ozJunkie:

[marlin]

Thanks @neph93, I am very happy my self regarding the fit. On the weekend I'll post a picture with the hoodie.
