IHSH-33-OD - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

[68degreesorless]

@David-Walker Yes, it definitely is. Mine was purchased in '21 or '22. Been washed a bunch bc I sweat a lot so can't go multiple wears without washing. Great shirt - hope your enjoy yours.

@68degreesorless amazing interesting to see that with wear and frequent washing, the sulfer based dyes over the 12oz indigo-white turn to a smokey blue. Really nice to be reminded that. I remember seeing something similar in 2008-2009 of worn IH OD and jumping on the bandwagon then

@Boit thank you. Yes the OD is fascinating stuff. Black magic you might say. Hard to remember these garments will be grayish blue someday when you buy them nearly pitch black.

Love how the first indigo spots are popping in the sunlight. Worn about 20 times, mostly full days, great shirt.

So, it took more back and forth than your average tennis match, but thanks to @Shaun @Graham @Bailey and @JamesB, as well as a final nudge from @FlavourFade - we got there! Of course, the fit is spot on, just as you said it would be!

Why do I feel like I’m cheating on the 421-IND though?

@Nocturama can’t do better than that with fit. Congrats on a great shirt!

[JamesB]

@Nocturama Looks awesome!! Glad we were able to help you out. Enjoy!!

[FlavourFade]

@Nocturama great fit buddy!! I am wearing Mine today too!!

[Bailey]

@Nocturama our pleasure man, looks great!

@Nocturama Looks great man, so good I think you should concentrate solely on this shirt until the end of the fantasy football season

[Nocturama]

@AdamC - it’s tough fighting to catch up those of the crew that know football ahead of me, at the same time as holding off those that don’t below me!

@Nocturama @AdamC you're all looking good from where I'm standing

[AdamC]

@Nocturama Haha we are in our own mini battle for 3rd! @Tago-Mago not sure what you are fighting for

[Tago Mago]

@AdamC My goal all along was to be last. You'll never prove otherwise

[Nocturama]

@AdamC - no, no! You’re in a mini-battle for 4th with @Steve and @Alex!

Anyone know how to take decent shot of OD denim? ‍️

Have been wearing the shirt for most of the weekend, was out of town with a couple friends for hikes and beers, now it really needed a wash. 25 wears in total and now there was some smell developing in the pit section, that I was not able to avoid only with hanging it outside over night. I used the shirt for physical work, going out, my day job (for the days I was not obligated to wear my company shirt) with a total of 25 wears.

Since I was talking with @Nocturama about this I took measurements before and after I washed it after a 30 min cold soak at 20 degrees celsius with Low spin.

The measurements taken by me with ih method:

33od pre wash
P2p 63,5cm
Shoulder 50cm
Sleeves 70cm
Back 76cm

33od post wash
P2p 62cm
Shoulder 49cm
Sleeves 68,5 cm
Back 76 cm

Besides the slight decrease of sleeve length I think most of the fabric will stretch back to pre wash measurements.

I will take pictures once it's dried but of course there's not a lot of fading yet

[Nocturama]

Thanks for the info @FlavourFade - super useful to know.

Took a few pictures of mine. Definitely a tough shirt to photograph.

@Jett129 Looks very nice. Well faded.
