IHSH-177 - 18oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo
-
On Neph's point about the buttons pulling, my chest button pulls a bit with a medium but a large is far too roomy, and since I don't plan on buttoning these up, I don't mind. I'm a short-armed broad-chested dude, so my case is slightly complicated
I have that problem with mine 25oz xhs vest like keep the button open am ok with that

Same short armed and broad chested, buttons aren’t pulling no. Just want to wear it out now but there’s bloody heavy rain for the next 2 days.

Definitely doesn’t loosen up/stretch like a pair of jeans,although the arms will come up a little as you get combs in the elbow area. You can also ask them to try and find you the one in the next size with the shortest sleeve length. I wanted to make sure I had enough room in the chest,so I just deal with the sleeves being a little long.

@Jett129 I agree and don’t care about Sleeve length or body length….those are some high class problems. I’m just glad I can Button the damned thing. I’m pumped I can fit into such quality gear.
I can’t believe I waited so ling to get this shirt. A second hand shirt albeit, but my instant favorite

Right been wearing this for a few hours as a shirt over a simple t-shirt and under a coat. Bloody stiff and feels good, noticed that the bottom of the shirt has started to curl up on one side, how do I stop this?

You have three options
1. Iron it 2. Don’t wear it 3. Don’t let it bother you. Take your pick

Ironing is about the only way to control that, unfortunately. It happens on all denim, wabash, and other twill weave shirts. It's an unavoidable aspect of the fabric type, I think.

60 wears in - sized to fit like a shirt and not a jacket - I'm getting a lot of color loss in one armpit, is armpit blowout a thing? A few months of lurking in the forums here and I have not found mention of it.

I have the OD version. I've worn it more than 60 times and don't see any sign of blowout in the armpits. Fraying will indicate a blowout more than fading. The biggest point of stress on my shirt is the fold where the hem has curled up.

I will soon - I want to wash it before photos to make sure it isn't some sort of salt deposit from pit sweat, however, I am having trouble going a couple days without wearing it…

I am very close to pulling the trigger on a size large. For those that own this CPO: To what degree to you find the indigo transfers to the lighter shirts you have worn under it?
None at all. I've worn white T shirts under this and have never, ever had denim transfer.
Don't sleep on this shirt. It's so amazing. I have this one and the OD version and would instantly re-buy both if I lost them.

I’ve had two examples of crocking (other than the inevitable crocking you get on roughout boot shafts/white trainers). Both have involved indigo shirts, white undershirts and water. The first was working outside in heavy rain in an IHSH-62. My white a-shirt got tied-dyed indigo, the second was an indigo vest and white tee on a warm day. The armpits on the tee got some rub off. At the same time my IHSH-33 gets worn over white tees often without issue. The key is moisture I think. Add water in the mix and indigo denim will crock onto white but it generally isn’t an issue.

I have found it washes out pretty well but not all the way. I suppose the fabric is a teen greeting here. All of my white t-shirts seem to have a faint blue hue to them.

@neph93 That makes sense, thanks for the insight! Have you found that the indigo washes out of your white shirts fairly easily?

I have similar experience to the above. If you let the crocked garment dry, especially in a warm place you may struggle but generally a wash before that will get the indigo out.
