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

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

this is for a size medium, two pages back:
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.

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

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

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

had the same thing with the gf on my IHSH-35
solved the problem by grabbing the chainstitch run-off and just bend it to the inner of the shirt and sewed it on with one or two stitches…no big thing, no damage to the run-off and the shirt and done in a few seconds...
Cuz maybe there will come times where you can rock the shirt with the run-off showing and no one cares about it...

Horror, I just spilled wine on my less than a week old 33, can I throw it in the washing machine? I soaked it upon arrival to get rid of shrinkage, any special that I should do?
