IHSH-33-T - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt With Tonal Stitching - Indigo

What are my options here? The sleeve opening is a bit too wide for me, though the rest of the shirt fits great so I want to keep it. My local tailor said he would have to cut the cuff and there would be seam, not ideal.

Soaking and washing would not do a lot. You could wash really hot (not my advice) and look if it shrinks a bit if rest of the shirt still has room. I personally would spray water on the sleeves to set some creases and live with it.

@aimes You could add two extra female snap button parts on the sleeves. Problem solved.
I think it was @denim-dawg who did this on a shirt if I remember correctly.

[aimes]

@FlavourFade Hot water? How does that set creases?

[aimes]

@JunkPants Thats... a great idea.

[FlavourFade]

@aimes no need to use hot water. You spray water on your sleeves and then just wear the shirt and set the creases while moving around

[JunkPants]

@aimes I agree, don't doubt the Dawg!

[denim-dawg]

@aimes hey mate! Great shirt on ya! If the cuff is too wide, I put in an extra snap. Cheap and it stacks the arms like they were made of rainbows. ️‍

Thanks! Do you remember the piece of kit you used to do it? I'm guessing I need some special tools?

[denim-dawg]

@aimes Hey mate! I carefully went to my trusty, local shoemaker, and he found the right match

I really love this shirt. This has been my first iron heart purchase. About 1 year of nearly daily wear - but during summer just for one to two hours a day. One wash. Still lots and lots of life in it.

Minor progression update since I haven't worn it regularly lately:

[Mizmazzle]

@RobeOfTheMagi yeah man! Looking killer as hell! I’ve been keeping an eye out for the next drop on this one!

[Nobunaga]

@Mizmazzle I don't know what size you are but Self Edge has this in stock (all sizes except large) and their 15% off summer sale starts today (sale code: SUMMER25).

[Mizmazzle]

@Nobunaga of course I’m a large haha. Curious if I could shrink an XL down though.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@Mizmazzle I am usually between L and XL in IH but this shirt is perfect in size large for me. I'd probably wait for your size to reappear.

[Mizmazzle]

@RobeOfTheMagi yeah. A ain’t got the cheese right now anyways. Patience will be better all
around.

[FlavourFade]

@Mizmazzle like @RobeOfTheMagi said these running a little larger, would LOVE to see what you do with this denim buddy. Wasn't the 12oz your first IH??

[Mizmazzle]

@FlavourFade good memory man! Yeah. The 33B was my first IH piece. It’s soo soft now. Love that shirt. It’s had a lot of memories with me.
