@Brock Agree with you. I didn't dry mine, but my washer has an extra hot setting. That made it shrink quite a bit without drying. It especially narrowed the arms a lot and brought the length up a quite a bit but not enough for my liking. @Blanco I also found them to be a bit long. I took both my indigo and black sashiko shirt to the tailor and had them shortened a bit. Just my two cents. I have pictures from much further up of before and after too if you care to see how just an extra hot wash worked. I took it out right before the spin cycle.
-
I would wash it on hot. Pull some measurements on it and see where it’s at. Maybe dry it for 15 to 20 minutes on high, then pull it out and check it again. Hang dry it for a bit and either finish it off in the dryer or just leave it hanging.
The only caveat to all that is it’s hard to tell but if your chest which looks like the best fitting part doesn’t feel like you can shrink up to an inch or so I’d be hesitant to do above..
Also, take all this with the grain salt as I’m working out in the gym at the moment lol
Edit: looks like you have plenty of material up under the armpits for shrink
-
@northsouthdenimguy yeah the chest is deceiving as it looks fine but it almost 24.5" measuring the IH way and I can go down as low as 23.5" easily. Meant to ask before did you experience any color loss? It looks like maybe a little from your before and after pics but could also be the lighting.
@talexander for my use I'm not quite to the point where I want to go to a tailor but it's probably more I don't have one I know is good and not sure I want to give them a $425 shirt to find out.
-
I noticed the same thing, I think it’s just the lighting. It does not look any lighter in person.

A little peak from live feed

Good luck everyone. To arms!!
-
Well. I was able to snag one anyway. Hope it fits.
-
Hell yeah got my 2xl! This drop gave me the same juice as a Supreme box logo drop 10 years ago.
Settle down easy......
-
Got 2xl preorder in too
First Ship John! In June or "later" he he -
-
2XL
-
Can't say how disapointed I am, had the XL in the cart, sold out while payment was processing. That's so frustrating. Can't even be excited for the Guthries I preordered anymore

@Northman
Done in less than 2 minutes. -

Was in a parking garage on the way to dinner. Oh well..

Ah damn I was distracted looking at a purchase from another hobby and missed the drop. Oh well I don't think I can fade everything I have effectively anyway. Problem is you never know when the next one will be.
-
@Jord dude no freaking joke. All we can do is pray resellers don’t touch IH and related brands. It’s pretty unlikely due to how expensive things are but we never know, we started seeing a little something with the watermelon man UHF.
-
@worn2fade Yeah I've found the IH team would try combat it too if it happened, they really care about their customers compared to Supreme that don't give a shit lol.
I've also found 2nd hand IH is normally quite reduced, I just bought a IHG-071-OXB (shell cordovan wallet) on eBay for £120 when retail is £568
obviously not ideal with some items like denim, as you want to fade it yourself, but at least it's an option to get some 2nd hand pieces if you're new to the hobby/on a budget!Anyway sorry for going off-topic
