@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
Thats not going to shrink because it's overdyed.
Are you sure about this? I can't find anywhere that says the 295 ib is overdyed. I believe overdyed items usually have OD in the model number, whereas ib items have a standard rope dyed indigo warp with a sulfur dyed black weft. ...although the stitching certainly does look overdyed.

This is not overdyed @Go-For-Chill

@Kasi Great look mate, are those 1955s? Or 634?
-
@Kasi looks great man.
-
@Rococo I have a sneaky feeling that Kasi is wearing his 463's

526V-XHS over 295ib -
@V-P thanks. Wow, from the measurements it doesn't look like it shrunk much at all. You actually notice a fit difference? Seems to small to tell, but I haven't tried.
-
@jpvisual Yes, it’s definitely noticeable. Not a night and day difference of course but a slightly slimmer fit.

Bought one more 🫣. First one from IHUK with snap upgrade from this release. Brund CPH had one XL left when I dropped by yesterday. I have sold many of my flannels since I find myself wearing the darker mono colour shirts more often than UHFs. This 295-IB fits me so well and can we agree it’s two completely different shirts with or without the snap upgrades, right

@Gavin666 will it? The 12 and 14oz denims seem more dissimilar than similar to me
-
@Gavin666 don’t think they are easily comparable like that.
My 295ib have slightly soften up over the wear iv gotten in, but it’s slightly softer to what it was brand new. But not as soft as a lighter completely different fabric…
️There is probably no easy answer here. But the more you wear, soak, wash eventually the fabric will soften up to what the fabric has potential to be. No fabric is identical to any other. And same fabrics used by different people, will differ in feel and looks a lot too in my experience.
Dont overthink it, just wear the crap out of it

How long does this take to soften up similar to 12oz?
I agree with the others' sentiments. Kind of like comparing a t-shirt to a polo.
They can both be pretty comfortable, but the polo will never feel quite comfortable enough to wear to bed like a tee.
