IHSH-361-BLK - 16oz Non-Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Superblack (Fades To Grey)

Took a a dip in the river today to set the creases even more this evening...and to have a bit of fun with the pups.

Nice one BTW I tried this combo yesterday and liked it a lot

[Oaktavia]

@Anesthetist yeah man Ravens colors never die!

[Oaktavia]

Threw my shirt in the tub for a hot soapy soak with Dr. Bronners Lavendar soap (my favorite). Just needed to make sure I got the river out of it. I put it back on damp and the crease reset better than before, it helps to keep the arms bent while soaking. No shrinkage of course, but the shirt overall feels a bit better and drapes nicer. On day 6 now and have slept in it 4 nights. Starting to see first signs of evo which leads me to believe it will fade quickly.

Some new methods I like it

@Oaktavia love seeing your commitment and idiosyncratic approach to making your denim unique and special to you.

[Oaktavia]

@Kasi I have summers off work so I have time to mess around.

@T4920 hell yeah man I've been enjoying the experience, it's exciting.

@Oaktavia mate sick
your making it hard for me to stick to my Lefty seeing your progress all ready .. shirt looks to one …

[Oaktavia]

@Jcaz6996 I hear that man, so many amazing fabrics with only one body to wear them! I'm happy you got a shirt in this denim too though. Looking forward to see what we all do with them. I love that some of us consistently have the same taste in particular denims. Makes it more fun and enjoyable to clock each other's progress.

The Appilachain mountains have great evening lighting. Combs already starting to show grey fades. Smokey fades. Rapidly, only day seven.

Great, now I can’t find a med or small anywhere

[Jcaz6996]

@Pipeboss713 Rivet & Hide have all sizes ..

[Pipeboss713]

@Jcaz6996 medium in route from iron shop provision.
I accepted an offer for a new job yesterday so this is a little treat to myself. Gonna wear it to work, never really worked an office setting before.

Tried this on in size Large in Rivet & Hide (whilst in a bit of a rush) and was satisfied with the sizing. So much so I didn't even bother to try the medium!
Now I've got it at home and had more time to ruminate on it I think it's just a bit too big. I could certainly wear it this way and get away with it, but I'd favour a tailored fit I reckon. The sleeves are too long and it's slightly too voluminous in the body. Going to exchange for a medium and hope it's just about right.
As ever, is definitely recommend trying sizes if possible before pressing the button on this one.
I've attached a pic, thoughts welcome!

@Barry_Stingray Looks good to me dude. I think it comes down to preference and comfort. Also, if you'd like to layer anything underneath it as well.

@Barry_Stingray Had exactly the same issue between XL and xxl in my case. Tried them 5x in the shop but still got it wrong. Remember the sleeves get a bit shorter with wear.. looks like either way can work!

I agree the shirt you're wearing in the photo @Barry_Stingray looks great to me. But as it comes to personal preference, if you want a tailored fit and the size down still feels okay, that could be better. Totally up to how you want to wear it.

[Kasi]

@Barry_Stingray

Size down. It big like Steve said

[Barry_Stingray]

Absolutely, it's all about preference no doubt. In an ideal world I'd have one of each size! I figure it's certainly worth trying the medium and mulling it over, though I'm pretty sure that's the one I'll end up with. Appreciate the feedback chaps!
