IHSH-368-IND - 14oz Double Cloth Western Shirt - Indigo

@alexpupin I'm way behind you on the wears, so would appreciate you letting me know how you get on when you come to wash it.
I'm likely to air on the side of caution though!
-
@Supersonic will keep y’all updated
@Daniel-San no spin then
I’ll follow your guidance -
@alexpupin I did 30 degrees inside out with a very low spin, my washing machine isn’t too aggressive, dried flat back the correct way and didn’t notice any tightening at all
-
Still pretty new to this stuff, what's the crack with a pre soak? Literally just soaking it in the tub before whacking it into the wash?
-
@alexpupin Nice one man.
-
@Supersonic
it prevents marbling and white lines.
just soak until completely wet, and then into the washing machine
-
@Daniel-San nice one man, ill bear this in mind when the time comes.
-
@AdamC/anyone else - how does this compare in terms of the material of the 295-IB? I love the 295 and wonder whether this compares/competes with it?
-
@tody - ta. Worth a punt?
-
@Crispy-Heron I'd say yes. I'm on the fence for the work version, having put on this one @ Kentaurus last week. What's holing me off of the western version is the sawtooth chest pockets - not my flavour.
-
@tody - hmm. I like sawtooth but want a few more opinions on the material
-
@tody
didn’t like the saw tooth either, but I thought I had to give it a try . And I really like it on me
-
@Daniel-San so what is the rest of the shirt like?
-
I asked a similar question in either this or the other thread and was told it's more similar to what an unbrushed uhf might be, soft, and a little squishy. It sounded like it might have too much overlap for me with an indigo kersey (face differences aside) because it also seems to have many of the same characteristics as for warmth, same fabric weight, drape, soft, squishy, etc. Yet I still keep coming back to this double faced fabric...
-
@pechelman - thanks. If it is like the kersey then it’s a great shirt!
-
To be clear, that's just the impression I got and could be wrong. I've not handled the double cloth. Would love to hear other thoughts just like you @Crispy-Heron

@Crispy-Heron
it’s something new, don’t think it’s really comparable to other shirts. It’s soft and super nice to wear . It’s definitely warm and I think it will fade awesome. As I wrote before, this really surprised me in a more than positive way. Didn’t expect it to be that nice.
If I had to describe it , I would say it’s a mix of the moleskin and the 18oz overdyed shirt with a little unbrushed UHF feeling
love it
