IHSH-443-IND - 7oz Cotton Linen Chambray Work Shirt - Indigo

Holy FECK this shirt is creasing like PAPER! But boy is it strong! Look at this fecking thing!

I have dampened the sleeves as you can see in the photos to encourage the creases. I can see the crest of the folds caused by packing it have faded already a tad. Similar to the 21oz sashiko but less noticeable. This is a good thing! It means mad fades ahead AHOY!

@Oaktavia looks great and bet it’s a wild difference to wearing the 189…enjoy it Stevie!

@SKT oh for sure!!! Thanks, I will still be wearing the 21oz CPO till June, just to round a year, then its all in on this one.

@northsouthdenimguy dry your hands off on your elbow pits next time you use the loo.

I’m thinking of picking up this beauty but am in between sizes. The product description says all shrink should be out already but can anyone comment on whether you’ve experienced some shrinkage after a first wash? Or any shrinkage with IH linen/cotton blend shirts?

This shirt came out Wednesday, and it’s “sister” only about a week before that. As I understand this particular combination of cotton and linen is new - so the user experience with washing is limited.

That said, my experience with IH products in general is that if they are pre washed - like this shirt - they do not shrink if washed according to instructions.

You do need to be vary of your washing machine, though. They don’t all have very precise temperature control.

Bringing several whiskey and Cokes to my mouth actually helps the creasing along a bit

@northsouthdenimguy yeah buddy!!!
