IHSH-380-IND - 12oz Dobby Cloth Work Shirt - Indigo

[JunkPants]

Came across this today.

New IHUK guerrilla marketing?

Or perhaps just the universe mocking me for not picking this one up?

[Matt]

Looks like a bunch left in L. If there’s any left in Sept I might try one in. ‍️

@Matt go for it! Wearing mine again today and i’m happy i got it! Arms were a tad tight but settled and eased very quickly! Don’t sleep on this so you need to beg @Kasi later

[Buckeye]

Yes, completely agree... the arms open up quite nicely after around 5 to 10 wears!

I’ll just lowball him.

[FlavourFade]

I am ten wears in now, comfy from the beginning but I also experienced the arms getting a little loser from wear. Atm I wear the 380 to work everyday and look forward to what it will look like in a year.

@Matt with bananas?

[Matt]

From now on all my dealings with Mo will be banana transactions.

[A Former User]

@Matt the banana circle

[Kasi]

@Matt
Trust me you won’t lowball
I will be paid in pounds
Otherwise kiss your pronto’s goodbyes

Keeping eating your bananas
You have long flight to get to Gosport

[Matt]

@Kasi don’t worry man. I’ll be paying you prior to leaving to secure the Prontos. I’m grateful you’ve agreed to part with them because I was really disappointed I had to sell mine.

[nosotrospapaya]

how long are we going before we wash these?

[A Former User]

@nosotrospapaya i always soak or wash when they’re dirty. First i spot clean but after 40 wears or more i mostly soak them.

[Jcaz6996]

@nosotrospapaya all depends what your doing in it, if it’s grubby and has a smell to it wash it. There is no rule ..

Gave mine an early wash hoping to lose a bit of the excess material in the body. Not quite dry yet, but it worked perfectly for me. Selected measurements before and after a 40°C wash in case they help anyone who’s still on the fence:

Shoulder 19.0 -> 18.6 inches
P2P 22.7 -> 22.5
Sleeve 26.3 -> 25.9
Length 30.0 -> 29.1
Opening 23.0 -> 22.0

I didn’t measure the sleeve width as it’s not an issue for me, but no obvious difference before/after based on how it feels.

No obvious change in colour but it looks like there’s definite roping potential at the hem (nothing picture worthy yet).

[FlavourFade]

I think I will wash this sooner since I wear it over my work clothes and sweat a lot during my shifts.. there's already a lot of indigo loss at the arm pits but I hang it outside over night so no smell yet...

[FlavourFade]

First soak after 16 full days in a row wearing the 380 at least 12 hours packing goods, running around in the store and sweating a lot. Did not expect these fades so soon

[Peterldavey]

@FlavourFade looks great

[T4920]

@FlavourFade Woah that's really kicking off with style! Gonna be insane after a year or so

[Mindfulbiscuit]

@FlavourFade that’s looking really good
