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

[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

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

[Giles]

You can cut it off no probs, I used to and never bothered to knot it or anything and it was fine…..

Thanks, that pretty much confirmed what I thought.

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...

on the sizing chart XXL shoulders say 21" is that correct?  I thought Usually XXL is around 19.5 shoulder

[Giles]

You are right, sorry.  Chart fixed.  G

Thanks G,

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?

[Seul]

Red or white?..

[Giles]

Just soak and agitate

pics? Oh man, I hope it goes out well. If I recall right, one can use salt to erase red wine. I'll check

Thanks guys, it was white…..but a bit of a lethal home brew, ha ha. Followed G's advice and all appears to be good.
