IHSH-295-BB - 14oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Black/Black

[Oaktavia]

Patina everywhere but trying to hold out on a first wash.

Great evo on the shirt!

I have to agree with @Dmart : great evolution @Oaktavia

I decided to wait for the restock of the Johnny Cash. While I prefer a fade to grey regarding my jeans, I am looking for a black shirt that (almost) stays black.

How is your shirt looking @dmart?

@Mickey GT not mich to report yet. Couldn’t get much wear of this one. Only wore it three four times.

I just soaked my shirt with the hose out back and threw it in the machine washer. It was getting a little too much patina, which I didnt know was a thing. It really shows with the darkness if the denim, has a glossy sheen to it. In fact, everything shows. It's nice as hell in regards to how inky black it is, but an ungodly amount of dog hair sticks to it. Really stands out as my puppies have light hair. It takes no time at all to get absolutely covered in golden fur. Hoping this wash will lighten up the black a tad so it doesn't show as much. I remember my XHSbb showed fur much less noticeably after a few washes in the machine combined with daily wear.

@Oaktavia  how’s it looking after a wash mate ?

[Oaktavia]

Wash worked out really well. All the folds have stayed place and it was nice and crispy afterwards. I can take photos tomorrow.

@Jcaz6996 post wash photos.

I think the outdoor photos make it look a bit blue but in person the shirt is black as the night.  Grey's popping out for sure though. Smoky greys. ️

@AdamJ progress so far…

[AdamJ]

@Oaktavia awesome work man!

[Oaktavia]

@AdamJ thanks dude, you were the one that pointed me this shirt so I figured I'd tag ya.

[AdamJ]

@Oaktavia I think that the 14oz BB or maybe 16oz SBG    will be my next shirt project

[Oaktavia]

@AdamJ:

@Oaktavia16oz SBG 

Wuuh?!

Edit: I had no idea the 16oz SBG or the super stealth existed! Damn! I feckin want one of those!!! Just browsed both threads and wow…glad I was able to see some super faded black denim shirts. I would love to see both 14ozbb and 16ozsbg next to one another to compare. I don't think the 14oz could stand up on its own. But I would think the fades would or could be pretty similar?

[Oaktavia]

Oh hell yeah @twin lests gooooo!

Wow, i'd have assumed you'd put much more than 44 days on that  :o Did you take your usual size in this? Large seems a little tighter than usual but could probably make it work! Or I could wait for XL to restock…

It seemed super stubborn at first but has started to really shed black. It may be more than 44 days bc I don't always mark my calendar at work…all employees get paper calendars and I try to write "295" on days I wear it. Could be closer to 50 days plus wearing it to sleep.

Trust the size chart and not the tag size the crew says. I sized up to XXXL with this while I sometimes wear XXL.
