IHSH-08ss - Super-Black - Super-Stealth, 16oz Western Shirt

[Max Power]

Thanks guys!

Reading through this and the original 08 thread, it seems a lot of folks soaked their shirt when they got it, but it doesn't need soaked, right?

If it doesn't need it, is there still a good reason to soak it before first wear?

Thanks all in advance for your help. Picked up the last one of these, should arrive in a few days, hoping with all hope that it fits…

It doesn't need a soak since won't shrink and won't bleed.  But I usually soak my shirts to remove the creases due to folding during shipping.

If you do soak it, keep it away from the kryptonite … I mean the spin cycle on your washing machine.

I soaked mine because it felt very stiff when I got it, but there was no starch in, as far as I could tell from the water in the tub. So you don't need to soak it.

Just got my IHSH-08ss. Two words: hell yeah.

Loving this shirt

[elclintor]

So I noticed on the site that there will be a new version coming mid 2011..

I'm dying for one of these, any idea of what will be changed on the new version?

@Giles:

We are working on a similar weight denim at the moment, spefifically for the replacement shirt.  It is likely to be an sbg (Super Black fading to Grey)…

[elclintor]

!!!!!!

YES!

I cannot wait for the SBFTG version of this shirt. CANNOT WAIT

[nameness]

Just want to note the word "likely" in there as nothing is set in stone.  Whatever they come up with should be interesting…

The funny thing is, that I wore mine for 3 months (almost daily) and hand washed it twice, but it's still stiff as hell and can stand alone. Will it ever get soft? I doubt it…

Just..wow.  I'd be sorry that I missed the boat on these, but for the even more compelling prospect of an SBG tuxedo top next winter.  Can't wait!

I am convinced that the sbg version will be even better, or just as epic as the discontinued version

[ALEX1976]

giles…are there aviable by dc4 ?
or only you?

[Giles]

Tell/ask Daniel to stock them, then they will be available at DC4

But Alex, they will not be avaiable anywhere until later in the year…...
