@worn2fade Thanks for documenting! Is that me or the sleeves have shortened slightly despite being OD?
Asking because I would love that to happen a tad in mine when I wash it for the first time.

[worn2fade]

@tvaillant75 I didn’t notice a difference honestly. I didn’t measure before / after though.

The snugger arms on this shirt made me steer clear of layering anything underneath it. Today I started reminiscing about my 33-IND after seeing shipjohn’s post of his 6yo western he’s been hammering for over half a decade. This made me want to start wearing my 33-IND again so I thought, let’s just see if it fits comfortably under the 293…..

It does. No issues at all. Nothing feels too tight and I love the contrast. I’m back to being a triple denim dude.

You all are making me desperate to own this shirt

[worn2fade]

@weftyarn I always fold my cuffs, but you’re reminding me why I shouldn’t.

[worn2fade]

@weftyarn I’m chasing!

[worn2fade]

Update: back to cuffs

I can’t stand the excess material on my hands

@worn2fade beautiful

@Brandrea thanks man! Trying to enjoy the process now while the weather is still under 85 degrees. Pretty soon ima have to rip some 95 degree days in this bad boy.

Final images of my 293.
82 days of wear, 1 wash at day 60.

Sold it due to sizing. Didn’t appreciate how snug the pits were so decided to let it go.

[Brandrea]

@worn2fade That’s a huge bummer … it’s was really evolving nicely.

Do you think sizing one up would’ve helped with the arm opening?

[FlavourFade]

@worn2fade this happened too often to me, especially with tops, felt okayish in the beginning, aimed for some stretch or a better fit after a wash and ended up selling because I did not love the fit in the end. Bummer but there's gonna be other great shirts for you to fade brother!!

[worn2fade]

@Brandrea I actually had the opportunity to try on both sizes, an XL & 2XL. I can definitely say the 2XL was more comfortable everywhere, the problem was how long the sleeves and body were. It’s always a give and take with IH tops.

@FlavourFade yeah dude, I knew there wouldn’t be any stretch in that area but I just thought it wasn’t that big of a deal honestly. After some time though, it gets really annoying. Thought I might as well just sell it while it’s still “new.”

Hopefully the 409ib isn’t cut the same way. I’m dying for that CPO!
