IHSH-295-IB - 14oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo/Black

[americanathreads]

@ZackB I think the XL could work too (would've need a shorter sleeve though), as slightly more of an overshirt. Length and sleeve are good, shoulders are just a hair tight, but if it loosens up a bit it might be ok.

@JunkPants thanks! Yes true. Brand new, it feels slightly snugger than I'd want it to fit (after breaking in).

@Go-For-Chill thanks man - appreciate it! Did you find that yours relaxed and gave you a little extra room?

Thanks all for the input! Crucial info for this one

@americanathreads I think this fabric might stretch and relax a bit, so as long as you're not washing aggressively or in hot water it should be fine. The initial fit looks good imo.

@americanathreads looks spot on right now. I did notice a little shrink when I cold machine washed mine. Nothing crazy. But it did snug up a little.

Btw…how’d you embed that little video clip?

[americanathreads]

@Mizmazzle good to know - thanks! Did it loosen back up after with some wear?

I saw @Go-For-Chill use one in his post in this thread and thought it was a great idea. So I googled a gif creator and used “Free Convert”. Upload a short video and it converts it.

@americanathreads congrats. this fit is ace. the shirt is perfect.

@americanathreads Mine did tighten up a little bit after the first wash as well. Not much though, and it didn't really change the fit in any meaningful way in my case.

This is such a good shirt, love the 14oz ib in a western.

@americanathreads I wouldn’t say that I gained any extra room after breaking in, but it did conform to my body and felt way more comfortable. These heavy shirts always feel a bit cloister phobic to me at first, but quickly conform and become like comfy armor.

Love this shirt.

[Mizmazzle]

@twin looking good bro. Those arm creases are coming in nice!

[twin]

@Mizmazzle Thanks. With the weather cooling down this shirt gets more wear.

@twin great work! I have one sitting in the closet waiting for me

[twin]

@FlavourFade Well then you MUST wear it.

@twin I am putting the work in my 422 right now but will get the 295 out soon

There are so many beautiful examples of this shirt in this thread I got inspired to put some time into it as my main piece. Still super early, but excited to see how it evolves over the fall and winter. It is my daily driver at work right now and my burts bees is always accessible in my front pocket for the Sahara Desert hands I get to deal with in the colder weather.

@derek111 Love this one! It’s on my list to pick up but missed the last drop so will have to wait a while.
