IHSH-208-IND - Indigo Kersey Western Shirt

[kojimastreets]

@AdamJ haha we live and we learn! My 295 purchase was made after severely regretting missing the IHSH-409-IB. I've honestly contemplated adding pockets to my 295 just to get the same utility

Just picked up this shirt yesterday. I was right between sizes, but luckily had decided to go to Gosport, so was able to try on both S and XS. I went with the XS as it still just about fit over my Henley but didn’t look too big with a regular T Shirt. The fabric is just incredible and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it ages. Many thanks to @Freeman for the help and patience.

I gave this baby a first bath yesterday after 45 days.
Short program (45 min), 30 degrees, low spinning.
Nothing spectacular but I see some evolutions

[SiRockxx]

@Pinkpan looks like it’s coming along nicely man! That’s how I plan on washing mine too when the time comes.

[SiRockxx]

Does anybody have an experience with the Kersey pilling?
I’ve just noticed one of the sleeves on mine has pilled quite a lot. It’s been worn a fair amount in the couple of months I’ve owned it. I haven’t washed it yet and am wondering if that’s the reason.

Do you do lots of desk work?
Is your desk made of sandpaper?

Sorry I'm no help. Have 2 kerseys and never seen this and I also work at a desk a lot.

[don_pipone]

Would have also guessed desk job. The faded elbows make it even more plausible.
I have similar fadings on flannels but not as pronounced tho.

[SiRockxx]

Thanks for the replies @pechelman and @don_pipone.
I don’t have a desk job, but can see why you’d think so. Elbow wear is just from wearing and leaning on tables I guess.
I don’t wear the shirt for work at all. So it only gets worn casually. I’m all for fading and stuff, just not a huge fan of pilling. So I’m hoping somebody has some knowledge on the best way of removing it.

[SiRockxx]

@pechelman I’m stumped as to the reason man. I like fades and general signs of wear, but I really dislike pilling and this is pretty pronounced.

[don_pipone]

@SiRockxx ah, I see. You must be sitting on tables quite a lot
I use a lint shaver to get rid of pilling on my shirts. Works great.

[SiRockxx]

@don_pipone Haha. Probably too many abrasive Pub tables . Thanks for the tip man. I’m going to buy one of them now.

Also never seen that on any of my Kersey's, now I'm really curious as to what caused it!

@SiRockxx

Are you wearing it under a jacket that might have metal or a heavy seam that's rubbing in those areas?

I'm super curious like the others. I'd make a mental note of everything your forearms touch and try to figure it out.

[SiRockxx]

@Go-For-Chill Me too mate, but so far I’m stumped.
The fabric shaver did an amazing job! All the pilling is gone, so I’m happy about that.
But I honestly do not know what caused it. I move around a lot and always fold my clothes to fit them in a bag. I see that angle of the sleeves after almost every wear and it was the first time I’d seen the pilling. I have often worn a Carhartt jacket with the shirt. But the jacket sleeves are lined and don’t seem to have anything inside that I could see.
