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
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...

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?
-
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.

Yes, the IH denim westerns really look good. The cut on these things are just great.

this is for a size medium, two pages back:
size medium, hottest wash i could do with medium agitation for about an hour. dried on medium heat for about 30 mins until damp and then hung up. lost a bit of color but nothing too bad. just a note that "pre" measurements were already after one hot soak in the tub.
pre
shoulder to shoulder - 17.5"
pit to pit - 21.75" total width laid flat
pit to pit - 20.5" seam to seam
pit to cuff - 22"
shoulder to cuff - 25.75"
length - 29.5"post
shoulder to shoulder - 17"
pit to pit - 21.25" total width laid flat
pit to pit - 20" seam to seam
pit to cuff - 21.5"
shoulder to cuff - 24.5"
length - 28.25"fits much better now.
Nameness and Monday,
I know both you shrank this shirt. I was in between sizes so I went with the XXL and plan on shrinking it down. Once you shrink it down does it ever stretch back or does it stay shrank? is shrank a real word? if not I am using it anyway…
