IHSH-292-IND - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo

@RubyRae well I honestly have enough denim. I also have 25 oz samurai. So the only piece I "want" is iron heart 25oz. And 888 is too slim knees and below, great top block. 634 is... actually weird. I never got a chance to try 25oz 634 but last year I tried lighter denim size 40. Felt like swimming in it. This year tried 38 lighter denim, felt almost like your bog standard high street moderately slim, moderately low rise fit. Looking at pics I took, I can't believe it had 10" leg opening... any other cuts i should look at?
So you think even if sleeves is too long, I should still try on uhf? (Probably next year)
And honestly, sleeves on this one are pretty slim so I don't think creases will help much.. but still. Lovely shirt! And tight armhole makes it so much better!

@rimaarts check out the 1955. Roomy all around. Doesn't restock often but it sounds like something you may want to keep an eye out for.

@rimaarts Definitely worth trying a UHF, just check measurements, worth even asking for shorter arms on chat for one you like to see whats available. Anything denim the arms shorten up a bit after you set some creases but UHF I find for me personally XL the sleeves are perfect, XXL they can be a touch long but more than bearable still

@Ikeaparty thanks

@rimaarts I am with you on the sleeves but I have been lucky with all my pieces by asking the guys to send one with the shortest sleeves as they do vary.

2 more questions...
How about washing? Now I know iron heart says it shirt doesn't shrink but as far as I recall from reading trough here, it does shrink a bit... I'm more worried about width...
And also is those threads purely decorative so I can cut them off or if I eventually catch them on something I risk unravelling some seams?

Wash cold, no spin cycle, hang dry.
Unlike most here, I wash my denim frequently, and following this procedure I don't experience any shrink regardless of material.
