IHSH-27BK - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt (Overdyed)

[babyknight]

sorry for bumping such an old thread but am considering picking one of these up from SE.  does this version need to be soaked like the regular ihsh-27 or does the OD mean a different process applies here?  thank you.

[nameness]

The OD process gets the shrinkage out, no need for a soak.

[jacoavlu]

should be no need to soak
OD = supahot soak done
of coarse, even the 27 non-OD doesn't need a soak;
It's not a loomstate denim.

Quote from website:

Oversized to allow for shrinkage, these will shrink a little (if you are normally an L in Iron Heart shirts, you will still be an L in this shirt, they are designed to end up as per normal Iron Heart sizing)

Thanks Giles.  I had noticed that on the page for the IHSH-27 but wasn't sure if it applied to the OD version too.  Thanks again.

Update: about a month and a half, wore it most days in the evenings, one very gentle handwash:

any ideas what size I would wear in this shirt if I wear the Large Levi's western shirt?  The measurement page in the Shop is linking to the jean sizing.

[mankarat]

see on the top right corner on that measurement page, you should see the bottom and top. Click on the Top to see how they measure shirt.

[Giles]

Yes, that's where the how we measure tops is located….

[mellowjd]

Ahh yes right there in front of me the whole time.. Thanks.

i wore this to work last week (new job - semi casual dress code). it is definitely a good conversation starter. i had a couple of people giving me compliments on the shirt and asking me where i bought it etc. they literally walk out of their office..stopped right on their tracks as soon as they see it. it's definitely the one that gets me the most compliments out of the rest of my ironheart collection.

Just_KC, that's awesome you can wear it to work!  I too absolutely love this shirt, def one of my favorite IH items, love the OD and how it is beginning to slowly fade in a few places.
