IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo

[CosmoSix5]

Well crap. I just did my first wash. Buttoned up and inside out. Hung up to dry without noticing any issues. Did measurements of chest and length pre-wash. Hoping for no shrinkage this the hang dry.

I love how this community and company can handle a problem without either flying off the handle and communicating honestly. I didn't scroll forever so I hope this is as correct as I think it is lol

[CosmoSix5]

There's been some shrinkage but I didn't have time to measure this am. It's about 99% dry at this point and the chest and length seem a bit tighter. Sleeves have not changed noticably. Fabric has brightened nicely.

@CosmoSix5 damn this is cool, kind of looks like what i'd imagine blue dragon scales to look like

Short cold wash, hang dry. Lost .5" in chest and length. Yikes.

Tried ironing it? Whenever I wash a UHF I worry it’s shrunk, then I run the iron over it and it fits the same as before

[CosmoSix5]

@Alex I can try. However the measurements were taken after id worn it all day. So it may have been slightly worse earlier. Still it's comfortable with a shirt under it. As long as it's done.

I’ve been wearing my 397 pretty much every day. Whether to work or around the house. Haven’t washed it yet. It has two loose buttons. May have to repair those at some point. No biggie.
Thinking the fades won’t be so high contrast, but more tonal variation across the garment as it evolves.
Blue dragon scales pretty much nails it descriptor wise.

@Mizmazzle I really REALLY hope they do a western version of this at some point

@DeeDee85 snaps would make this shirt all the better!

Took N1 off long enough for this. Heat still broken! The macro was an accident but looked awesome.

@DeeDee85 someone's probably already suggested it mate but I would love to see it in a CPO shirt!

[DeeDee85]

@Iron_wombat got to happen at some point!

@Snafu Check the retailers. Aitora shows XL still in stock.

@Snafu You could also try placing an ad in the marketplace for one on the secondary market here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/category/28/want-to-buy

You my friend, are the man. Just what I needed.

Never seen this site, but it is now on the list.

@Snafu Always check the first post of a product thread - it usually contains a list with the retailers carrying an item.

Noticed some white on the inside of my shirt. Indigo loss, leftover detergent(woolite)or white t shirt transfer? Yes the last is a joke lol
