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

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

[Giles]

Go gentle to start with and ramp it up if necessary....

[johnfredmurray]

@Giles Brilliant! thank you

Out in South Carolina visiting Morgan’s sisters. Been wearing my 443 on the daily since I got it about a week ago.

@Mizmazzle a great beach companion!

Edit: the shirt too, of course

[Aetas]

@GuyForget Nice Rotring.

[GuyForget]

@Aetas good eye. IH workshirts and color coordinated Rotrings. Two of my favorites

[Cymro]

@GuyForget snap!

@Oaktavia went hiking in my 443 yesterday. Got very sweaty. Mine has had three washes already. Def bringing the fabric to life.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle hell yeah dude stoked to see where we take these.

[GuyForget]

@Cymro my brethren

Anyone washed this? I just threw it in with the "regular" family stuff and fucked it a bit. Good news: it will fade. Bad news: I need to integrate these marbles in. Hoping I can fade back consistently over time.

@will6er wabi sabi my friend. I’m sure any marbling will blend over time

[Mizmazzle]

@will6er I’ve washed mine 3 times on delicate. Sleeves came in about 1/2” but i havent experienced any marbling or uneven lines etc.

Do you have any pics to show what you’re experiencing?

[will6er]

Light was fading but you get the idea. A line on the back, 2 on the front.

[Chibs]

I think it’s best to pre soak before you throw it in the wash. Haven’t washed mine yet. Waiting until it smells

[will6er]

@Chibs With jeans always presoak / inside out / no spin / 30. This time inside out and 30 but not the rest. I spooned it

I will learn to live with it.

[Mizmazzle]

@will6er yeah, any heavy indigo item I always presoak and use no spin.

You’ll be good though man. It’s gonna take a bit of time but eventually it’s all gonna wear even. I plan to wash my quite a bit, for a more vintage like evo. That would help you even things out faster too.
