IHSH-33-OD - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

So these will be even more stubborn faders then if I understand the difference between reactive vs. sulphur dyeing correctly?
Curious to see the product images if there's the same difference with applying the hardware after OD like the latest 21oz jeans with shiny/unoxidized rivets.
-
@pechelman I’ve been thinking about this too
certainly makes me treasure my older OD stuff more knowing the oxidised hardware will eventually be done away with altogether. -

I remember reading about a newly developed reactive dying technique that allows for much greater fading potential than the one that was previously being used.
I think it was explained in the product descriptions for some of the SS24 pieces, but can't remember which ones for the life of me...

@pechelman More stubborn - possibly, but it won't stay jet black forever, the potential is definitely there! My experience with an IHSH-323-OD (one of our early forays into reactive overdying) is that it did still fade/wear, especially in those high wear areas... I should really get some pics of that one up in the relevant place at some stage to demonstrate...
@DeeDee85 the oxidised hardware was definitely cool but also serves as a good reminder of why it was phased out; any concoction potent enough to oxidise copper to that extent that quickly isn't exactly easy to dispose of safely

Here it is, from the IHSH-382-PUR product page.

68degreesorless is that definitely the overdyed 33? I have had mine for a month it keeps dyeing my hands but can't imagine how long it takes to look as awesome as yours!!
-
@David-Walker Yes, it definitely is. Mine was purchased in '21 or '22. Been washed a bunch bc I sweat a lot so can't go multiple wears without washing. Great shirt - hope your enjoy yours.
-
@68degreesorless amazing
interesting to see that with wear and frequent washing, the sulfer based dyes over the 12oz indigo-white turn to a smokey blue. Really nice to be reminded that. I remember seeing something similar in 2008-2009 of worn IH OD and jumping on the bandwagon then 
-
@Boit thank you. Yes the OD is fascinating stuff. Black magic you might say. Hard to remember these garments will be grayish blue someday when you buy them nearly pitch black.

Love how the first indigo spots are popping in the sunlight. Worn about 20 times, mostly full days, great shirt.
-
So, it took more back and forth than your average tennis match, but thanks to @Shaun @Graham @Bailey and @JamesB, as well as a final nudge from @FlavourFade - we got there! Of course, the fit is spot on, just as you said it would be!
Why do I feel like I’m cheating on the 421-IND though?

@Nocturama can’t do better than that with fit. Congrats on a great shirt!
