IHSH-295-IB - 14oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo/Black

[CosmoSix5]

Are there any retailers in the states that offer snap upgrades?

[goosehd]

@CosmoSix5 not that I know of.

@CosmoSix5 I remember reading that the GAH upgrade was something that was exclusive to IHUK.

I've set a lot of snaps doing leather work. It's super easy, but also easy to make look wonky.

@CosmoSix5 A good tailor should be able to change snaps for you. Maybe you can just order the snaps you want from IHUK and have them retrofitted in the US?

[CosmoSix5]

@V-P I've heard this. Also that the correct equipment is needed and rare. Either way I appreciate the info. Holding off for now.

@Tago-Mago thanks!

@CosmoSix5 we discussed this with another US retailer and we agreed that it probably doesn't make financial sense to offer since we wouldn't be pimping the amount of shirts that IHUK does. But who knows, that could change.

@guiltyparty Maybe I should start a US based pimping service? hmmmm

BTW, can't wait to throw on my new 295! GP always comes through!

Does anyone notice much of a fit difference between the BB and IB? They look a little different in the measurements, but seems small. Thanks

@jpvisual I tried a BB two days ago to try and help gauge sizing. In the L and XL I tried, I found the L to measure pretty small and it was too tight. XL was perfect. I ordered a Large in the IB yesterday as the measurements more closely resembled the XL BB I tried. So I think the IBs are running a little larger this run than the BB.

Anyone have luck shrinking these? It looks like I'm close to an XL, but I would like to layer under this so would you recommend an XXL and warm soak/wash for a looser fit?

[Faded_Patina]

@DirtyMike619 Did you read this part that they highlighted in the fabric focus?

[Luijim78]

@jpvisual I love them both and find them extremely different. In the same size (XS) the b/b is much tighter and drapes perfectly on the body from day 1, the i/b is more relaxed, crispier and stiffer. The i/b fades much more easily and quickly.

[jpvisual]

@Luijim78 thanks!

[DirtyMike619]

@Faded_Patina Yes, I read that, but that's based off their recommended washing method. I'm moreso asking if anyone has done a hot soak and dry to intentionally shrink it

[Gavin666]

@Go-For-Chill isn’t that illegal these days?!

[Gavin666]

@Faded_Patina depends what temp you wash them on though. I found with a couple of 40’c washes my IHSH33 shrunk very slightly.

[Go For Chill]

@Gavin666 Nothing is illegal as long as you don’t get caught.

[V-P]

My b/b shrunk quite noticeably after a 40 degree C wash. I’m curious about the shrinking potential of the i/b too.
