IHSH-293-OD - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black
-
Anybody notice the dye staining white T?
I never noticed any crocking onto white tees with my IHSH-178. Nor have I noticed it with OD jeans onto white sneakers.
Seriously? I feel like I have indigo transfer on pretty much everything I own…I don't own the 293 (yet, must resist temptation :D) but I gotta think it would probably drop a bit, or a lot on a white T. Or anything else for that matter.

@gniquil I think that fit looks great but if it doesn't feel good, you won't rock it. If your gut is telling you to size up I'd follow your instincts. It's a bummer to own a piece like this and not feel 100% comfortable in it. You'll end up just not wearing it much.

From regular indigo, sure, but never from OD. And I have had a lot of OD.

I threw mine in the wash (delicate) last night and letting it hang dry. I like to do that right away because I find that the fabric breaks in a lot easier after a wash. I also like to reset my collar, which often comes a bit hiked up in the back. This lets me set the crease a bit lower. And, further, this gets rid of some of the sulphur, which is just a preference. I've become more of a vintage fader in my advancing years, so machine washes/hang dries are going to be the norm for this, rather than worrying about crisp honeycombs on the elbows (which, based on wearing yesterday, are going to form no matter what).

Fit advice, fellas? Too big across the chest I think….
-
Richard: Looks like it might be a size too big as a standalone shirt. Shoulders might be a hair wide (tough to say), chest does look a bit loose. This size probably will work great if you want to do some layering under it with flannels or other denim shirts. If you're looking at this as just a heavyweight shirt with just a tee under it, yeah, you might have success going down a size (though that might be too small! tough to say over the internet).

I think it looks great @Richard as is. You will have zero layering ability with a size M, and you will get some softening and maybe the tiniest amount of shrink with a wash that will perfect the fit. I bet it feels weirder and roomier across the chest than reality due to the stiff fabric and the heavy chest pockets.
-
@Richard the fit looks really good. The shoulders and length are perfect. The sleeves look a bit long but will shorten up once you put creases in them. It's hard for me to judge the chest with your arms at your side but I wouldn't say it look too big.
Regarding layering, you have to decide if you want a shirt or a jacket. You can't have one size that serves both purposes.

Looks like you've violated the first law of denim, the conservation of indigo
If it fades, the indigo has got to go somewhere. -
I’m thinking proceed with caution lol with the OD I definitely think less or none ish

If it fades, the indigo has got to go somewhere.Clearly it must… but given that indigo jeans continue to fade indefinitely, and crocking stops after one or two washes, the law obviously lacks nuance.

I wore a white band tee under mine all night last night. No bleed, granted it was about 60F outside and I'm not a sweaty dude.

Just came in. Glad i didnt go 3xl and i got the 4xl. I can deal with the long sleeves. The 3xl would of been way too tight. Awesome shirt. Bravo IH
