IHSH-45 - 12oz Raw Indigo Selvedge Denim Western Shirt

[Max Power]

Just stumbled across this thread (missed a lot on holidays, it seems). Interesting, i didn't know about the different denims of the 33 and 27, I always thought they only differ in cut and raw/washed status. I also was wondering why my 27 doesn't seem to fade as nice as people's 33 - now i know the reason.

[Giles]

Nice is subjective, I love the fading of the 27

[Max Power]

Yeah, i do, too. it just takes longer than i thought, after all I've been wearing it for four months now, at least 2 days a week and still only the cuff shows a little colour.

[Giles]

Well you are in trouble then.  DC4 took none…....

@Giles:

We utilise 2 different 12oz denims for our denim shirts.

China warp/Zimbabwe weft: IHSH-27
Zimbabwe warp and weft: IHSH-33 and 45

The Zimbawe denim fades with quite a lot of vertical fading, very like a vintage denim
The Chinese/Zimbabwe denim fades a little slower and with more uniformity

for some reason I find this very interesting… thanks for the insight G

For those of you that have extensive wear experience now with these raw shirts.. how much bleeding is there on undershirts/pants? I had the 33 but never had a chance to wear it and now i find myself totally lusting after the 45 (picturing myself wearing this with the khaki 701s G sent me) but worried that they'd bleed all over everything haha

[Beatle]

not that much bleeding on the inside, so ur good

[Seul]

Something bled fiercely on my 801s and it can only be either IHSH-27 or IHSH-34…  :-\

Did you wear the 27 damp?
I haven't had any signif bleeding/transfer

[Seul]

No…

^Could very well be indigo transfer from the inside of your belt (though it seems a bit too much to be the case)?

Got my friend hooked on IH and the oppurtunity to see and handle this shirt:

It had a different feel than expected: thinner and tighter, not very "jeansy" denim, more serge-like (think mil-spec tent).

My friend gave it a first soak/wash, and it bled like a slayed blue-blooded beast. Slight shrinkage and a change in hue/appareance post wash. Still standing post wash

Great shirt, very stylish, not much cowboy over this

Hey guys, someone can show how the IHSH-45 fades after some use…i couldn't find much around here
