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

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?

@rimaarts cut them off and no harm done. Keep them if you want as I’ve never had an issue with them.

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.

Also, soaking for a while before washing will prevent marbling.

@V-P , I've not experienced any marbling on the "vintage" denim.

One of my favourites garments ever .

I been lazy with mine. This may be the go-to for this fall…

@VegaS10 I wouldn’t wanna gamble, it’s easy enough to do. Better safe than sorry. Unless you like marbling of course.

@WhiskeySandwich a great one for the fall definitely

I picked up both the 292 and 293 this summer. The 292 is definitely my go to this fall. What a piece.
