IHSH-295-BB - 14oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Black/Black

[labrat]

@Oaktavia looking good! Have you noticed any shrinkage after a wash or two?

[Oaktavia]

@labrat thanks Rat I am unsure as I have had this denim for a few years now. I do not usually take pre and post wash measurements but I don't think it shrunk much at all.

[Oaktavia]

Here are a few from today at 100 wears exactly after a 5th wash.

@Oaktavia The snap on the left pocket has a slight blue reflection in it,from the background, and it made think,for a second,that maybe it was turquoise. I think heavy duty turquoise snaps would look great on that shirt,especially with the way that it's fading. Years ago there was a turquoise snap option,but they weren't heavy duty. shirt looks awesome!

[Oaktavia]

@Jett129 dude I would fecking love to pimp this shirt with turquoise snaps. They need to be brought back man. I also like the idea of upgrading snaps once a shirt is well worn. Like a prize for wearing it hard.

This 14oz black black denim is really calling my name. I just love the 14oz denims for shirts…add on the black black and this is a siren's song!

[Jett129]

@Oaktavia I had pimped a charcoal sawtooth western with them,but as I said before they weren’t useable on the heavier weight shirts. I’ll try and find a picture. Found it.

@Jett129 superb, the turquoise compliments the fabric really well

@Oaktavia Just wild fading going on here.

[Oaktavia]

@twin thanks man, for this one, when I started washing it a few years ago, I did not know about the soaking first before machine washing. So I haven't soaked it even with recent washes just to see how it turns out. Marbling is starting to pick up and I love it. 80s style kind of.

Another monthly update, seeing a bit more marbling on the back

You can also see how much more wear the left cuff as I wear a watch

@ah_long sheeeash 🥵 14oz BB does not get better than this

[DeeDee85]

@ah_long incredible!

[Jcaz6996]

@ah_long looks amazing how long you been wearing this for now ?

[ah_long]

@Jcaz6996

20 months of wear now with 4 more to go to complete a two year journey

[Mizmazzle]

@ah_long sick as hell!! These evo shots pushed me to get the IHJ-86....the 14oz BB Type 3 that uses this same denim. Love me some black fade to gray!!

Did you happen to take any pre wash/ post wash shrink data? I know it's sanforized etc...but curious if you noticed any shrink when you washed it. My 295ib def tightened up a bit with a wash.

[ah_long]

@Mizmazzle

I haven’t taken any pre and post measurements

But it feels just a tad bit smaller now but it could also just be me gaining weight as well

[Mizmazzle]

Does anyone have an insight into how a cold wash line dry affects this denim? I know it’s sanforized and one washed…but small amounts of shrink still happen

I just bought the type 3 (IHJ-86) in this denim and it fits great but I can’t afford to lose anything in length. Kinda worried if I should size up and try to shrink to fit and avoid having a jacket that’s too small once I wash it.

@Mizmazzle I did a hot soak but it didn't shrink so I hope our new jackets do the same
