IHSH-444-IND - 7oz Cotton Linen Chambray Western Shirt - Indigo

Just a little heads up. I just cold washed it. It shrank a good amount in the length and sleeves.

EDIT. The shirt has relaxed again. No significant shrinkage after some wear again.
PERFECT SHIRT, DONT WORRY. Sorry for the confusing.

Wow! About how much shrinkage? Did the chest also shrink much ? People gonna ask- did you air dry or stick it in the dryer?

@Jaffy718 Seems like it has relaxed again. This is such a nice shirt.

I was just casually looking down and my cuffs this morning and noticed some nice looking evo. This shirt is amazing and I have been wearing it non stop wildman style.

Here are some outdoor pics in the shade.

@Oaktavia coming along! Have you washed it much?
I’m thinking of washing my 443 after every few wears. Give it a vintage fades vibe.

@Oaktavia I’m amazed how great yours looks already. I’ve been wearing mine most of the summer and yet to see some evo!

@Mizmazzle no washes yet 13 wears 8 nights. Your shirt will be a beautiful vintage color if it's washed a lot. Like a warm blue with the grey weft.

I wore it around the clock non stop for 8 days straight and up to 13 days today. Fades come easy when it's done this way wildman style.

Second wash, I've been wearing this on hikes and it gets sweaty as f. Washing seems to highlight the fades. Really stoked on this shirt. I was able to get some red acrylic paint stains out out of it too, only lightened up a little in spots. Check out these cuffs.

@Oaktavia Blue marble!

The gifs didn’t work
I maintain BLUE MARBLE!

@Oaktavia You should write an article for Iron Heart on fading and washing strategies.

@michael.rose0107 I get my inspiration from the descriptions the late Filthy used to write on here...
