IHSH-417-IND - 5oz Double Gauze Short Sleeved Work Shirt - Indigo
-
@Lanep2 the response from Haraki san was what I expected in terms of this being a very delicate fabric. The nature of double gauze with 2 layers of cotton sewn together with tiny stitches, is to be a very breathable fabric, worn as a top layer or single piece. Due to the very open weave of the fabric, which you can easily see, it is of course prone to fraying with friction, non-delicate washing (with coarser fabrics) and snagging. In this instance, the edges of the coarse fabric in your jacket have easily aggravated the open weave.
Try ironing the shirt with a lot of steam on the cotton setting (2 dots maximum and recommend putting a non dyed/coloured cloth/fabric between the iron and the fabric to be safe) to see if that settles down those stitches, though it looks like quite badly aggravated.

Hey @AdamC, wow thanks for doing all that. That makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate the advice from the legend himself.
Hopefully others can see this so they don’t do the same thing I did. I’m still glad I made the purchase and will continue supporting IH! Cheers!

(Saying this in the least combative way possible) they should replace it since they didn't have a warning not to wear it with anything else.

Love this shirt.
-
This shirt is quickly becoming one of my favorites in my rapidly growing IH collection.
-
I'd love to see the fabric utilized again. In a more fun color/print/knit. Super comfortable and great silhouette.
-
First wash today, cold by hand/stick. Super cool looking when wet.
11 wears.

@JerkStore I think we knew this was sort of an experiment. Mine has frayed a little without wearing anything over it

Going to be sad putting this away for the winter. But it's 90° today. I love the way it looks at the end of the day. It was nice and smooth at 7am.
