@goosehd is the second photo after your wash?

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia Yes it is and sorry for not indicating so. I’ll update my post.

@goosehd Wow the Big Buck really moulds to your body after a while!

[Luijim78]

@goosehd amazing!!! Washing it even improved . Congratulations

[louisbosco]

@goosehd wow the sleeves looks very well molded to you body after the wash!! Love the “arm honeycombs”

Took it out first day for me, sleeves are definitely longer than the pale rider. Overall too.

[goosehd]

@louisbosco The arm creases set long before I ever washed it (and I used that term very loosely) as it was more of a thorough wetting/soak.

Anybody looking to do it to their shirt needs to be extremely careful as I can imagine it could be destroyed easily. By this I mean that the shirt can be stretched out of shape and you will not be able to get it back to previous. It is exactly like using a chamois to dry a car. Perfectly square when you pull it out of the bag and use it the first time, to never see that shape again.

I put mine on all day yesterday and today will too. I forget how nice this shirt it. Totally unlike anything else I’ve got.

I've been wearing this shirt a lot lately. Took some evening photos today to show what it looks like. Definitely one of my favorite IH pieces, by a long shot.

@Oaktavia damn that looks insanely nice, appreciate the extra creative flourishes in your photos too

[Oaktavia]

@T4920 thanks man, I was inspired by @Chap with his antler on his BB earlier in the thread. I thought I have a lot of antlers around the house...

[T4920]

@Oaktavia certainly put 'em to good use! Somehow this shirt even manages to show shade of indigo in your evo pics... true wizardry at work!

@Oaktavia Hard to see in the picture, but the big black has went from inky black to a blackish brown colour. Here’s a closeup of the shoulder for example:

…and the overall current pic:

Inside shirt cuff: Black is almost gone.

@goosehd thanks for sharing the photos. That is what I was thinking it would look like. I am seeing a little bit of brown peeking through on my cuffs as you might be able to see in my photos. That is why I was asking you wondering how far along yours got after a season. I am already getting excited. I have noticed similar timing with indigo fading and in the same areas. My other western shirts won't see the light of day anytime soon haha.

@goosehd Also that dog is cute as heck!

@Oaktavia good gosh golly those are some killer shots. That first one holy moly! Looks like its def losing some color already, what a beaut.

from the before/after it almost looks like the length in the front shrunk a bit?

[goosehd]

@pechelman ...think it may be how I'm standing as I don't think it's shrunk.
