IHSH-443-IND - 7oz Cotton Linen Chambray Work Shirt - Indigo
-
Will try to get a better photo of when I’m not wearing it but I’m currently sitting at 20 wears. The creasing in the arms likely from the linen is getting very interesting. Fading should take a unique pattern. Also notice while not perfect the extra creasing has brought up the sleeves to a closer expected range.

@phoenixinflight yes that is exactly what I do or just dry my hands on them it works like a charm
Do you find this leaves any indigo on your hands? I tried the drying my hands on the sleeves, but my hands always felt just a little less clean after. I know that getting denim wet can make it transfer a little more, but I'm not sure if it's that or just all in my head.

@Go-For-Chill Not that I have noticed...

Washed mine for the first time on cold and low spin. No dryer, all air. Def tightened up but not a ton. Sleeves after wash plus all the wears have brought them to a very appropriate length. Feels like I’m noticing more white specs on the shirt likely from the indigo wearing off a bit. This shirt is likely to fade fast.
-
@jfk1117 I also gave my a wash (but on warm) to encourage the shrinkage people have been discussing. Definitely noticed more of the linen nep showing afterwards and chucked it on a bit damp to encourage some creases in the arms. Can't wait to see how mine and others here ages! Unfortunately it's getting a bit cold for this piece here in Australia, so will likely be on ice until Spring rolls around.

First post here. Absolutely love this shirt, buttoned or unbuttoned; it looks fantastic. The way the sunlight hits the indigo is impressive. Thank you, Iron Heart

I can see that this thing is going to get worn a lot this summer.
-
After reading this whole post and trying to hold out in hopes my size would sell out, I finally gave in and have a xxl on the way. Hoping this will be a perfect summer shirt for me in the hot Texas summers. Looking at most likely making it a work shirt every now and then and my main shirt on the weekends.

@Ral1121 You did the right thing!
-
@will6er maybe but my bank account may disagree lol

-
@Cymro Potentially?! Hehe
-
Two more weeks of wear. Cuffs really starting to go.
-
Anyone roll their sleeves on this shirt and if so, do worry about unusual creases/fading?
-
@Ral1121
I roll up my sleeves all the time. I don't worry about creases and fading; I welcome them.Here is my logic:
If rolling up my sleeves causes creases and fading, then they are not unusual, they are exactly what they should be. Ceases and fading caused by how I use a product is why I buy indigo products in the first place. This is how an indigo pieces become 'yours'. Your fades will be different from everyone else's.I haven't noticed any fading caused by the rolled up sleeves. But I have only had the shirt since mid-April, so it's early days.
-
I decided to pick this up last week and wow, this is a really interesting and unique piece. The fabric is way more substantial than I’d expected but I’m also not surprised. As others have shown with their initial wears, creasing is heavy on the arms which will look pretty cool with age.
I’ve been wearing it without an undershirt and I find it super comfortable despite how crispy the initial hand feels.
-
I've worn mine multiple times since I got it in May. Probably my favorite shirt of the spring/summer line. Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning around the collar if you haven't washed it yet? My only concern in using Shout is the indigo dye.
-
I would wet it and rub a soft hand soap into it, then rub fabric against fabric on the dirty areas.
Do for a bit, rinse, and see how you've done, if still dirty, repeat.
Do in stages to make sure you aren't being too aggressive. -
@Giles Thank you, Giles, much appreciated! I'll give it a go
