IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo

[Mizmazzle]

@Mindfulbiscuit oh man. This is a heart breaking story indeed. Did you find that it kept shrinking with each additional wash?
I’ve washed mine about 3 times now (cold/ line dry) and haven’t noticed much.
Your 397 was def the gold standard in fade progress.

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@Mizmazzle yeah I cold washed it and it just got to tight on me being a work shirt it fit well for me in the beginning but I always thought working in it didn’t help as mybe sweating in it made it moulded to my body as well I wore for 240 days it faded beautifully but this in this fabric not for construction sites

@Mizmazzle thank you

[FlavourFade]

@ShopatIronHeart any chance this shirt will make a comeback?

@FlavourFade in a western version?????

I just wish it was a CPO. I love mine, but wish I could put my hands in some pockets. Even thought about trying to put em in after the fact.

@FlavourFade Nothing on the schedule I'm afraid, however it's not to say we wont do it again in the future, so never say never.

@newtoiron @FlavourFade Sounds like the IHSH-437-IND is one to keep an eye on. Has much more heft than the 13.5oz will have you believe

[FlavourFade]

@JoshC @AdamC thanks guys, I will keep my hopes up but look into the cpo for now:-)

[FlavourFade]

@DeeDee85 I am really getting into workshirt cuts lately, they just fit my frame better, but still lot of love for western cuts

[newtoiron]

@AdamC Ha. You don’t need to tell me twice. It’s top of my list for the season. I know you said it was your fave in the video too.

Has anyone thrown their 397 in the dryer? I recently purchased a new 4xl / SP off fleabay that’s a little big. I did a hot soak and hang dried and the post soak measurements are exactly the same. Was hoping to get some shrinkage. A 3xl would have been ideal, however, will work as an overshirt.

@Denimhead-0 looks ok very slightly oversized but looks good.the more you wear it ,it will drape alot better and not look so stiff.

@gazza61 Thanks! I’ll let it finish hang drying and post a couple after pics. It definitely lost some color post soak. Regardless, it’s a beauty and a keeper for sure.

@Denimhead-0 I reckon it looks good! Doesn't appear to be "overly too large" if that's even a thing, I didn't even know about this shirt until now!

@Jord another amazing IH creation

[catdad1]

@Denimhead-0 I picked up a 4X as well for an overshirt after getting the 2X. I've washed and dried it on hot twice with very minimal shrinkage. I noticed a little color loss as well. You may not get much shrinkage with a hot dry. If I remember correctly it was like less than 1/2" in any direction.

@Denimhead-0 I think the fit is spot on for this shirt. The fabric is pretty beefy and if you sized down you’d def feel it in your shoulder and pit. Mine has shrunk ever so slightly and I’ve gained some good weight and it is bordering on being too snug.

@Denimhead-0 its a great shirt the guys at rivet and hyde said their hands went blue getting them ready for sale.

@gazza61 my wife is already pissed about the indigo bleeding on the couch from IB denim
