Is this alright to throw in the wash? Or will it marble like SBG?

[Daniel San]

soak it before washing, make sure it’s completely wet .
low or no spin and turn inside out .
if you do so , there should be no "problems "
at all .

@trvn17 not marble per se, but supposedly serge can react quite unpredictably when washed. I've seen some people report a sort of rusty discoloration (not necessarily a bad thing) and others a substantial level of fading around the seems and high tension areas. My IHSH-235 remains unwashed after almost a year, but I'll be pre-soaking beforehand and washing inside out when the time comes as I wanna maintain a fresh look. If you're all about that vintage, worn in look you can afford to be a little less precious with how you wash it. It's gonna remain a beautiful shirt regardless, so no need to over think things.

Got it. I was thinking of throwing it in the wash to soften it up some to get a worn in feel quicker

@trvn17 whatever works for you! I personally love that crispy stiffness but I can see how it could be off-putting for some people.

Serge is amazing in my opinion!

Needed a black shirt, and have gone with the serge - very crispy, but feeling bullet-proof! Think I checked every measurement on every black shirt, at least twice, but the think the fit is about spot on for what I was after.

Edit: should add for reference, this is an XXL - I am 188cm and just over 200lbs.

@Nocturama the fit is killer! And indeed serge is very crispy!

Hello.
Do you plan to release 13oz Military Serge Shirt - Indigo?

[Alex]

No plans to do that, no

[Bums_Fan]

@T4920 the pearl snaps really look good. Nicely done.

Washed the green version twice and it gets better every time! There is some marbeling going on, but not washing a cotton shirt is a no-go for me...

[T4920]

@Tobi any shrinkage? Tempted to give my black one a hot wash and dry to tighten things up..

[Tobi]

@T4920 a little.. but not much. Wash 30c and short with the usual precautions though...
