IHSH-53 - 12oz Raw Selvedge Indigo Work Shirt

[madmonday]

i borrowed one & tried it on but it wasn't right on me.

it might of had something to do with it coming when those blasted fh annie's came into my home & upset my beautiful & perfect just the way she is wife & the damn tags on the jeans were all wrong saying 28. . .

(i whistle & look around while describing fh annie's)

Soaked for about 15-20 min in semi cold-warm water yesterday, checked this morning and almost dry, so it should get some wear very soon….fit pics when the time comes.

Probably a stupid qeustion… Is this the same 12 oz denim as the 33 and 45? Thanks

[Giles]

Yes

Day1…..

After soak, it still fits good, just needs some wear, so today is the first day, pic from WAYWT:

Day2….......

For some reason, my buttons come "undone" by itself, 2nd-3rd from the bottom, and 2nd from the top, I'm assuming due to the rawness (and maybe my beer storage), info???

[Giles]

No comment re: beer storage vessel, but if it persists, a tiny little stitch at the top or the bottom of the button hole, just to reduce the length of the opening should help….

btw. here the fitpics of the SE model…looks pretty dope imo.

what's everyones thoughts on pairing this shirt with a relatively new pair of jeans?  Will the different color stitching compliment each other or clash in a bad way?

[Giles]

I know I am biased, but I think it looks great, I even like the new engineers pants with it - and that's a lot of white stitching flying around….

[rocket]

works imo well with a raw pair as it does with a trashed one

[crisone]

Damn, due to the sizing, my sleeves are too long, I'd like them to be "non-cuffed", cleaner.

Cris
Do you have room elsewhere to allow a little more shrink?
Cause a wash with agitation will shorten them sleeves up a bit.

[crisone]

^ Hmmm, maybe just a tad, but will put that in thought, thanks Jaco.

Cris,
Jaco is right… I am in the same boat as you I have to get XXL sometimes to make room in chest area but the sleeves are always a bit long.  A cold wash with agitation shrank the sleeves on my IHSH-13 from 27'' to a perfect 26.5, but I still had plenty of room every where else.  I am thinking about doing a warm wash with agitation to see if the shirt shrinks any where else. I will let you know.

after washing I air dried in my pantry

@Giles:

@monday:

don't know if it is color or if the texture just changed abit.

& which is left, hahahahhahaha

soak seems promising.  if no agitation to the water 53 probably has a bit more shrinkage to give. .  .

damn we are up to 53 already!!!!!!!!

yes, I think there is a tad more shrinkage to go.  i have asked haraki to confirm.

Re 53.  I made exactly the same comment to Kiya in Cabo…....

what did Haraki say about agitation and more shrinkage.

[Giles]

Yep, sorry he did…

[crisone]

Question about agitation….I'd like to stay away from putting the shirt in a washing machine, so I'd assume the alternative way is to wash in my bathtub constantly moving the shirt for about 15 or so???

Thanks,

Cris.
