IHSH-361-BLK - 16oz Non-Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Superblack (Fades To Grey)
-
Threw my shirt in the tub for a hot soapy soak with Dr. Bronners Lavendar soap (my favorite). Just needed to make sure I got the river out of it. I put it back on damp and the crease reset better than before, it helps to keep the arms bent while soaking. No shrinkage of course, but the shirt overall feels a bit better and drapes nicer. On day 6 now and have slept in it 4 nights. Starting to see first signs of evo which leads me to believe it will fade quickly.

@Jcaz6996 I hear that man, so many amazing fabrics with only one body to wear them! I'm happy you got a shirt in this denim too though. Looking forward to see what we all do with them. I love that some of us consistently have the same taste in particular denims. Makes it more fun and enjoyable to clock each other's progress.

@Jcaz6996 medium in route from iron shop provision.
I accepted an offer for a new job yesterday so this is a little treat to myself. Gonna wear it to work, never really worked an office setting before. -
Tried this on in size Large in Rivet & Hide (whilst in a bit of a rush) and was satisfied with the sizing. So much so I didn't even bother to try the medium!
Now I've got it at home and had more time to ruminate on it I think it's just a bit too big. I could certainly wear it this way and get away with it, but I'd favour a tailored fit I reckon. The sleeves are too long and it's slightly too voluminous in the body. Going to exchange for a medium and hope it's just about right.
As ever, is definitely recommend trying sizes if possible before pressing the button on this one.
I've attached a pic, thoughts welcome!

@Barry_Stingray Looks good to me dude. I think it comes down to preference and comfort. Also, if you'd like to layer anything underneath it as well.

@Barry_Stingray Had exactly the same issue between XL and xxl in my case. Tried them 5x in the shop but still got it wrong. Remember the sleeves get a bit shorter with wear.. looks like either way can work!

I agree the shirt you're wearing in the photo @Barry_Stingray looks great to me. But as it comes to personal preference, if you want a tailored fit and the size down still feels okay, that could be better. Totally up to how you want to wear it.

Size down. It big like Steve said
-
Absolutely, it's all about preference no doubt. In an ideal world I'd have one of each size! I figure it's certainly worth trying the medium and mulling it over, though I'm pretty sure that's the one I'll end up with. Appreciate the feedback chaps!
-
@Barry_Stingray personally, I like it. However, I tend to avoid overly fitted shirts cause I just don't enjoy wearing them. You may want something a bit sharper, and a medium will likely fit you well. Good luck!

size down
too big -
@Barry_Stingray Also,I've found that if you just turn the sleeve cuff back and snap it,it mitigates a little bit of the extra length,and I've grown to like the look. There are some others here on the Forum who do that,which is how I found out.
