IHSH-33-IND - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo

[Beatle]

doesn´t it feel good to receive a blue bag ?

[Megatron1505]

Thanks guys, the arrival of the blue bag was indeed a great moment, ha ha. I already absolutely love the shirt, just put it out to dry now so I can wear it tomorrow 

El, I was doing some computer work, so no need for the glasses when I'm staring at a screen close up.

again, sorry for the iphone photo, I am hunting for a new camera

brand new 33 and the weather here dropped 20 degrees giving me the chance to wear it!!

Just get the correct lens kit dude - so we get all of you in the pic!

boots are the shit man

Ugh….small…medium…small…medium….

I want to pick up this shirt and the green in the IHSH-38 and then take a breather until the Type III Cotton duck drops. At that point, I don't think I'll need another shirt or pair of jeans for the rest of my life.

[madmonday]

what are you concerned about on the fit???

[Guest]

Chest and arm length.

[jacoavlu]

Did you have the 27 shirt? If so what size and how did it fit?

[madmonday]

the shirt is one wash but you can get it to shrink down with a really hot soak with some agitation.
i got an xxl which was a bit to big & was able to shrink it down a considerable amount.

i'm weird though & always prefer too big as opposed to too small.

[madmonday]

good memory jaco.  not sure he was happy with that fit. . .

[Guest]

No. This would be my first denim shirt with the IH brand.

I might just chance a medium, given that the P2P is no more than 21" and the shoulders no more than 17".

[nameness]

this is for a size medium, two pages back:

@nameness:

size medium, hottest wash i could do with medium agitation for about an hour.  dried on medium heat for about 30 mins until damp and then hung up.  lost a bit of color but nothing too bad.  just a note that "pre" measurements were already after one hot soak in the tub.

pre
shoulder to shoulder - 17.5"
pit to pit - 21.75" total width laid flat
pit to pit - 20.5" seam to seam
pit to cuff - 22"
shoulder to cuff - 25.75"
length - 29.5"

post
shoulder to shoulder - 17"
pit to pit - 21.25" total width laid flat
pit to pit - 20" seam to seam
pit to cuff - 21.5"
shoulder to cuff - 24.5"
length - 28.25"

fits much better now.

[Guest]

Yes, I saw that post. Thank you, nameness. I'm not a fan of having to soak anything prior to wearing; I'd much rather wear it until it falls apart right from the get-go.

[jacoavlu]

Sounds like the 33 is perfect for you then
Just use presoak measurements to guide your fit
And if you ever need to wash it
Just know it might shrink a little

[Guest]

I think I'll go with a medium, any way. You can't stretch sleeves…but if does turn out to be slightly bigger than I'd like, I can always resort to a soak.

Thanks for everything, guys.

the 33 is a beast.  don't know if it's the black buttons or what, but it's a bad ass shirt

[Finn666]

^it`s them buttons which make it look killah…

[tmg]

I recognise that what I'm about to ask may be considered sacrilege by some, however I will preface it by saying that I absolutely love my new 33 (been wearing it at every opportunity since it arrived a week ago)….....unfortunately the chainstitch run-off really bugs my wife, so is there a simple solution to cut it off and knot the ends so that it doesn't fray?

This is in a bid to maintain the happy truce where she doesn't question how much I spend on IH gear

[madmonday]

hahahahahahahaha

pretty sure you can snip them off & they will not damage the shirt at all, no need to knot or anything so labor intensive

good call on picking your battles
