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

[AdamJ]

@Jett129 has you covered @Oaktavia the 18oz denim we used on the 177 was a beast!

[Oaktavia]

@Jett129 thanks for the heads up- I actually saw your post and considered messaging you but I'm not quite in the market yet for a new purchase. I also checked the measurements and am not sure an XXL would work…I would likely go for an XXXL if I could choose a new one.

Any sight on a restock?

@Oaktavia IHSH-292 and 293 are in production at the moment so will be here early next year I expect

After having tried the JC III only to find out the measurements do not work for me, I placed an order for this shirt. I like the fact that this fades to grey. But one other question I have is about its crispiness. Does it become softer after couple of wears?

[Dmart]

It settles a bit but I wouldn’t describe it as soft at all.

[the246guy]

@Oaktavia Your shirt seems to be the most evolved. Could you throw us some pictures on how it looks like now?

[the246guy]

I just received this beast from IH Hamburg and I would like to know what the shrinkage on this is going to be like. Right now, this is just about perfect and I'm a bit concerned if the sleeves would shrink after a soak or a wash. Anyone experienced any shrinkage on these, please comment. As usual, a phenomenal quality.

[Oaktavia]

I've washed mine three times and have not noticed any shrinkage. Pretty sure I chose a hot wash option on my washer once too when it was really dirty.

[Jett129]

Mine fits pretty perfect as well,and didn’t want any shrinkage,so I just cold soaked it with a little Woolite Dark. Wearing it as I type.

[the246guy]

Thanks Gentlemen. I'm going to keep this one and unlike the other IH shirts that I normally wash after a week of wear, I might prolong the wash cycle on this guy.

[Dmart]

Since I have upgraded mine with GAH snaps and it’s due for a wash, anything I need to be aware of with the snaps or wash as usual?

[the246guy]

Is there any consistency between different IH shirts on the placement of the snaps? For example., I'm wearing this shirt today and as it can be seen in the image that the opening remains opened up after the last snap button while my other IH shirts do not show such an effect. It dosn't matter but I just wanted to ask if there is any consistency followed when planing the buttons across all IH shirts.

Again, I'm not complaining but just thought of asking.

[Giles]

The placement is fairly consistent, I'm pretty sure that the opening is due to flare because your hips are wider than your waist, and maybe exacerbated by the thickness/stiffness of the denim, the only way to stop this happening would be to have a snap very low down on the placket, which actually would restrict movement.

[the246guy]

Thanks for the reply @Giles I just compared measuring my 13 oZ Military Serge and it is about 2 cm less compared to this 295. I adore this shirt more than anything else I have owned so far. Stunning beauty.

[Giles]

What is 2cm less?

@goosehd looks like you’re already ‘wanted’ for your good sense of humor 

[Oaktavia]

@the246guy mine does not appear to flare out as your photo shows. Does it still do that on yours when you are standing up straight? Mine flares out when I'm sitting but I think all my shirts do that.

[DrPat]

I don't think I've ever experiences this type of flare.

Perhaps there's a slight crease causing this.  Have you tried ironing that part of the shirt?
