IHSH-33-OD - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

[68degreesorless]

5 months in. Need to wear more. So soft. So tuff. The OD, and the contrast thread, and what the OD does to the snaps 

[68degreesorless]

The OD’d snaps match the thread well. Makes the shirt also look great when worn unbuttoned.

…..what the OD does to the snaps 

Oh yeah…..

Starting to fade nice

Building stripy shades , why ?

Looks like you have some creases from where the sleeve is gathered at the cuff. Did you machine wash? I have similar creases set into my moleskin cpo from the spin cycle. They will fade into the back ground in time. You can iron your sleeves to discourage them from fading further into that pattern.

I would soak before washing, turn inside out and don't spin…..

I only ever soak before washing denim when they first arrive – that first soak.  Is there a benefit to soaking before washing long after?

[sabergirl]

It’s to ensure unwanted fade lines from creasing in the washer. That happens less if it’s wet through first.

I wanted the 33od because I thought it would get better with time. Living in it while it does has become a great joy.

Beautifully put. The best thing about IH OD is that is is so usable, it gets worn a lot.

Either 3rd or 4th wash, not sure

New to IH. Came across it on IG and this is my first piece. I'm hooked. Has me looking at my Filson stuff like its inferior.

Just posting day one pics….no soaking or washes yet. Will post when some good fades start.

I'm 5'11" 170lbs and chose a Large.
I'm wearing a Filson waffle thermal underneath
Just looking to bring in the waist and bottom opening a touch ( wondering if it can even be done )
Will update with measurements later

Slight change in lighting gives a much different tone.

One for the watch guys

IMO it’s a perfect fit already, I don’t see any need to bring it in.

Welcome to the forum. Classic shirt and it looks real good.

Imho getting that shirt tailored would be an error. Firstly, the fit is great. Secondly, while it can be done, you’ll be ruining some of the best constructional stitching in the business and replacing it with something practically (and probably aesthetically), sub-standard. So paying more for a poorer end result when the original looked perfect seems unnecessary.
