    The 397 is my only non-western IH shirt (I am addicted to snap buttons). I also wash inside out with all buttons fastened in a Samsung front loader on gentle cycle with the coldest wash setting. I am going to go as long as possible before laundering this shirt. I just love wearing it but I am leaving a trail of indigo everywhere!

      You all are some good lookin' mofos in this crazy shirt.
      Just had a XXL come back to me so it's up on the site if anyone is still looking for one!

        We’ve had it confirmed from Japan that washing shirts with snaps or buttons done up is higher risk than needed, as sabergirl says there is an easy way to turn your shirt inside out without the buttons being done up. Care guidelines will be fine tuned to clarify.

        I’ll speak to Haraki and see if we can get the factory to sew them on with double the thread, but his reply was ‘this doesn’t happen in Japan’ - so basically, we need to be more careful. Either way, will do what I can

          yeah, I think China better at sewing buttons. Almost all Japan-made shirts I’ve got have this problem. I like to think it’s by design: Forcing the wearer to make a personal connection with the garment by re-sewing buttons back onto the garment. Good opportunity to swap out thread colors and if you loose ‘em the buttons themselves.

            Haraki, how do we avoid work shirts losing buttons?

            Wear Western shirts.

              @Matt I wonder if more IH workshirts migrate to snaps (not buttons)…esp those with +9oz fabrics.

                Honestly, I’ve never had any button or button hole issues personally, I’ve just noticed that the thread seems a little flimsy. However, I probably have too many shirts to give any of my work shirts enough wear or washes to test the strength. 🤭

                  Well crap. I just did my first wash. Buttoned up and inside out. Hung up to dry without noticing any issues. Did measurements of chest and length pre-wash. Hoping for no shrinkage this the hang dry.

                    I love how this community and company can handle a problem without either flying off the handle and communicating honestly. I didn't scroll forever so I hope this is as correct as I think it is lol

                      There's been some shrinkage but I didn't have time to measure this am. It's about 99% dry at this point and the chest and length seem a bit tighter. Sleeves have not changed noticably. Fabric has brightened nicely.

                        @CosmoSix5 damn this is cool, kind of looks like what i'd imagine blue dragon scales to look like 🐲

                          Short cold wash, hang dry. Lost .5" in chest and length. Yikes.

                            Tried ironing it? Whenever I wash a UHF I worry it’s shrunk, then I run the iron over it and it fits the same as before

                              @Alex I can try. However the measurements were taken after id worn it all day. So it may have been slightly worse earlier. Still it's comfortable with a shirt under it. As long as it's done.

                                I’ve been wearing my 397 pretty much every day. Whether to work or around the house. Haven’t washed it yet. It has two loose buttons. May have to repair those at some point. No biggie.
                                Thinking the fades won’t be so high contrast, but more tonal variation across the garment as it evolves.
                                Blue dragon scales pretty much nails it descriptor wise.

                                In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                      Took N1 off long enough for this. Heat still broken! The macro was an accident but looked awesome.
