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

[FlavourFade]

295 arrived today from hamburg and I could not be happier. While the BB I had was a little too snug in XXL the ib fits way better. Also it's a lot crispier than the BB, reminds me of the 362 in terms of feel. Now I will have to decide if I will wear it or stash for fall

@FlavourFade looks like a perfect fit. Can you really wait until autumn

@FlavourFade heck yeah its one of the best shirts IH makes IMO. Wear that thang mane!

[FlavourFade]

@Oaktavia I am working on a tfh type2 right now but the 295 will get a lot of attention soon

Just got mine what a beauty pictures don't do it justice.

Here’s mine. It feels great, a little stiffer than the 295-BB like others have said.

[gazza61]

@V-P great pic you really caught the colour.

[V-P]

@gazza61 Thank you!

Man, I was on vacation when this dropped and missed it. Can’t find an XL anywhere. Maybe next year

Here are measurements pre/post a (very) hot soak and some fairly violent agitation.

In centimeters
Shoulders: 46 / 45.7 cm
Chest: 57 / 56 cm
Waist: 53.5 / 52.5 cm
Opening: 54.5 / 53 cm
Length: 76 / 75.5 cm
Sleeve: 66 / 65 cm

In inches
Shoulders: 18.1 / 18.0 in
Chest: 22.4 / 22.0 in
Waist: 21.1 / 20.7 in
Opening: 21.5 / 20.9 in
Length: 29.9 / 29.7 in
Sleeve: 26.0 / 25.6 in

So marginal but still noticeable, it feels even better now. Super stiff after drying.

Arrived today with copper snaps and to say I am stoked is an understatement! This is hands down the best shirt I have and also the best fitting too! Asked for shortest sleeves and the rest just seemed to dial in. It is heavy too, nearly feels like my Type 3ib! I can’t see any other shirts getting a look in this winter and it will make the thought of winter more manageable

Looks nice with the HD Pearl snaps. Really happy with every aspect of this shirt. Will be wearing it in the AC at night,over the Summer,so it’s semi broken in by the Fall .

[PJ]

Got mine today as well

[Jett129]

I didn’t know if you could do this,but I thought it might be cool to have just one copper snap at the top,along with the rest being Pearl.

[Mizmazzle]

@Jett129 Pearl snaps are the bizness!!!

[Jett129]

@Mizmazzle Thanks, I also have them on a well worn OD 33,which was the inspiration for this shirt.

Does anyone recommend a soak (hot or cold) before wearing or is it cool to just rock it as it is?
It's slightly big in the arms and body but I expect that to change with wear, as all things raw and new.

[Jett129]

@Faded_Patina Just about everyone has their own routine. I plan to hot soak mine with a little bit of soap in the water,cold rinse it,roll it up in a towel to squeeze all the water out,hang it up, and then wear it before it fully dries.
