IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo

[T4920]

Brand new vs 5 weeks of wear and a wash.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 looks to have lightened up a bit. Did the fabric feel change much?

[pechelman]

Looks like the sleeves shrunk a bit too.

[T4920]

@pechelman think it's more to do with the inner elbow creases having settled in in the after photo. Any shrinkage is negligible, fit feels the same as before.

This is the shirt the rest of your shirts hate lol. I'm wearing mine to worship in the am. I have slightly ruined a nice white t I've been wearing under it. Indigo transfer only at the pits lol. I bleached it but no cheddar. Permanent undershirt now. No biggie

As fate would have it, I unexpectedly found an XL in store this weekend, and it fit perfectly. No tightness in the shoulders and a tiny bit more breathing room. While the Large looks amazing, the XL is a lot more comfortable. A learning experience with thicker, denser fabrics to go up when in between sizes. This is definitely the shirt of the year and it’s not close.

XL vs L

@americanathreads yeah man. Looks like a great fit! Congrats on finding one that works for ya.

[americanathreads]

@Mizmazzle thanks man! Looks like you’re wearing yours well.

[Mizmazzle]

@americanathreads such an incredible and unique fabric.

@Tago-Mago did you happen to get the length measurement?
Looks like it will be about 1 cm based on other shrinkage you got.
Thanks for sharing. Did the hand feel of the fabric at all?

[Tago Mago]

@Mizmazzle didn't measure the length. It feels a bit crunchier again, but mine was still pretty stiff anyway because I hadn't worn it a ton. Will start bringing it into my rotation a bit more now that the autumn perma-high fog has settled over Bavaria. It does have a beautiful iridescent appearance now, which I didn't notice before the wash

[PJ]

First wash. Didn’t notice any shrinkage. 30 degree no spin .

@PJ @Tago-Mago
Very nice!! This shirt is so packed with character. I think it’s going to be a bit more stubborn to fade than we all initially thought. Which I actually really like about the shirt.

[PJ]

@Mizmazzle I agree it might be stubborn. My plan is to wash it on a regularly basis like once a week or maybe two weeks.
