Looks great on you cris!!

You gonna soak it?

[crisone]

^ Hmm, probably not being that it'll shrink when it fits perfect as is, maybe later, we'll see…..thoughts???

And thanks to all for the kind words, I get crazy happy when stuff from IH fits me due to me being a bigger person, and the items being more fitted, so it's appreciated more than usual.  I always tell Pete if everything fit and/or I was thinner, I'd be in trouble, haha.

I've been wanting a denim shirt and another work style shirt for a long time, but haven't found the right one until now.  Your pics really sold me Cris

Looking Good Cris! This shirt was made for you… Since it raw, better to soak it.. It wont shrink much if you just soak with warm water without agitation. At least thats what i encounter with my 27 so far.. Just dont put it in machine wash, agitation tends to shrink the fabric..

Thanks Abdul…...and if anything, I'll probably lay it in my tub and soak it in cold-to-warm water for a little time.

I say soak…it's not really feasible (in my opinion) for a piece of clothing to never touch water.

[crisone]

Thanks for the input all, I'll give it a soak today….......

Any advantages to not soaking this shirt before wearing it for awhile?  Of course it's gonna happen eventually, but would waiting and wearing it raw have any advantages? Seems as if the general thoughts so far have been to soak first but I am just curious as to why.
