Would love to come but don’t think I will make it

normally it was too warm this week for the 295 , but I just can’t stop wearing this shirt
it gets better and better with every day of wearing, absolutely my favourite IH shirt, and I have a few
this lead to a indigo sweat explosion in the pits
, but no smell at all and that’s really amazing.
@Oaktavia , have to keep up with my idol . so will wear it as long as possible untill summer will stop me.

think I will wash it after 10 more wears, will have about 40 wears then all together.
will be the second wash -

@Oaktavia
what’s your opinion about washing ib bro ?
I think washing is the key for the ib to fade faster. when the ib denim is new it has a very smooth almost
silky surface and it takes quite long for the fading to start. After the first wash the surface got much rougher, like very fine sandpaper. And from that point on the ib starts fading very fast from my experience. -
@twin thanks man…only a matter of time though! Wearing mine today at work.
@Daniel San I agree with the washing. Especially after my 8th machine wash, the white fades really started to pop.
I soapy soaked mine in our tub first few times and hung dry it. The creases stay in place this way. After the creases start to fade more, I start to machine wash. I prefer machine washes because the shirt comes out cleaner than just a gentle tub soak.
Fair warning though, this one will marble and unwanted fade creases can pop up without careful timing. Remove before spin cycle, just like anything else. There was one wash scare that I had- I thought one of the sleeves had a white fade from shoulder to wrist but luckily I pulled it out just in time. Had it sat in the washer for five/ten more minutes it would have been noticeable.

But @Oaktavia , summer is MD is so wonderful
Some days are…I just can't stand hot and humid. If I had it my way, I'd move up north a bit to have shorter summers. But my lady is from NC so she loves the heat!
