[V-P]

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

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 .

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.

@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.

Snag the last medium. I sold my large off some time ago.

So hopefully this will fit better

Mine should be here Friday or Monday, can't wait. We're deep in our "winter" right now (lows of 10*C), so it'll be perfect. I plan to put as much time into it while it's bearable.

@Faded_Patina just rock it I will.

@V-P Awesome thanks!

little indigo loss?

[Jett129]

@Faded_Patina I’ve been wearing IH for coming up on 14 years and I have always hot soaked everything,and no matter how blue or black the water in the tub is I’ve never noticed any indigo or black color loss on the actual garment. I personally think they look better after a soak,but as the saying goes “Your denim,Your rules “

@Jett129 looks really sharp

[Faded_Patina]

Appreciate all the helpful feedback, guys.

@Faded_Patina Very little

@Denimhead-0 spent too much on IH you can’t afford laces?!
