IHSH-295-BB - 14oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Black/Black

I am blown away by the progress here @Oaktavia. I’d think you’d have to be chopping wood 10 hours a day to get so much evo so fast. I’m approaching a first wash on mine and took your advice to wear it to bed some nights.

Haha I just wear it a lot buddy. I wear it to work three days/week and on most weekends when I'm not wearing an UHF. I wear it to bed almost every night now…and that's it. Washing helps lighten the shirt up a bit too (in a machine). Have you washed yours yet? After my third wash it was noticeably different.
Edit: I would like to add I wore it over the summer indoors with an AC unit in the window and a fan going...it was super hot and quite uncomfortable but I wore it anyway. Consistent wear over 10-12 hour days and nights helped with the evo on my shirt.

@Oaktavia no worries man! I hoped it could fill the void till you can get stuck in to 16oz SBG next year
I've been eyeing the posts down about the 16oz SBG (and your 21oz Type III SBG) but my 295 will be my last black top for now. My wife and I have two golden retrievers and their hair is always, ALWAYS covered over the darkness of the shirt. It was/is a daily struggle to remove it using lint rollers…sometimes I would use 5-6 sheets to get it all off.
Plus, I do not have a indigo/white/natural denim shirt in my rotation yet. I have the 295ib and 295bb and now I'm after something heavy and indigo for next year. Any recommendations for a heavy 16-18oz western?

Any sight on a restock?

After having tried the JC III only to find out the measurements do not work for me, I placed an order for this shirt. I like the fact that this fades to grey. But one other question I have is about its crispiness. Does it become softer after couple of wears?

@Oaktavia Your shirt seems to be the most evolved. Could you throw us some pictures on how it looks like now?

I just received this beast from IH Hamburg and I would like to know what the shrinkage on this is going to be like. Right now, this is just about perfect and I'm a bit concerned if the sleeves would shrink after a soak or a wash. Anyone experienced any shrinkage on these, please comment. As usual, a phenomenal quality.

Thanks Gentlemen. I'm going to keep this one and unlike the other IH shirts that I normally wash after a week of wear, I might prolong the wash cycle on this guy.
