IHSH-353-RED - 10oz Selvedge Denim Work Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Red
-
Mine arrived the other day. The color has a lot of vibrance to it, captured perfectly by @SaddleSC in the 2nd photo above.
My sleeves are a bit too long and I think I should get them shortened. I'm hesitant to do so due to the fabric and tonal stitching. Has anyone had luck there?

@Twistlock Black&Blue isn't getting these, it was BlackBlue based in the USA. Apologies for any confusion caused

I still love this shirt, but my sleeves are way too long; the chest and shoulders fit perfectly.
Is it a feasible solution to soak the sleeves only in hot water in an attempt to shrink them? -
@RandomlyHunting Years ago a Forum Member,who unfortunately passed away this year, tried soaking the sleeves in boiling hot water and I don’t think he got all that much shrinkage out of it. I’m guessing less than an inch. His experiment is here on the Forum somewhere. Does turning the cuff over once help?

@RandomlyHunting Here is the link that @Jett129 referenced: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/6531/ihsh-177-18oz-selvedge-denim-cpo-shirt-indigo/56?_=1694107882530#
Thanks Jett!!

Turning the cuff over once is perfect length-wise, but then I get that flying nun hat look where the sleeve opening flares out. Perhaps I could wear it like that around the house just to help get some creases to form, as that should shorten the sleeves slightly, but I doubt I'll get much by working at my desk.
Thank you both for the link - I guess I'll give it a whirl.

Crosspost from WAYWT. Arrived today, and the colour is exactly as I imagined it. Really happy with this.
