IHSH-443-IND - 7oz Cotton Linen Chambray Work Shirt - Indigo

@northsouthdenimguy since being on this forum, I have been taken down rabbit holes with boots (ending up with a pair of Viberg services boots), shirts, jackets. Didn’t expect to be going down one with fancy stem irons I must admit!

@Cymro Thanks for sharing this information. Mine is due to arrive this week so good to know what to expect after a fit check
-
Will try to get a better photo of when I’m not wearing it but I’m currently sitting at 20 wears. The creasing in the arms likely from the linen is getting very interesting. Fading should take a unique pattern. Also notice while not perfect the extra creasing has brought up the sleeves to a closer expected range.

@phoenixinflight yes that is exactly what I do or just dry my hands on them it works like a charm
Do you find this leaves any indigo on your hands? I tried the drying my hands on the sleeves, but my hands always felt just a little less clean after. I know that getting denim wet can make it transfer a little more, but I'm not sure if it's that or just all in my head.

@Go-For-Chill Not that I have noticed...
-
Washed mine for the first time on cold and low spin. No dryer, all air. Def tightened up but not a ton. Sleeves after wash plus all the wears have brought them to a very appropriate length. Feels like I’m noticing more white specs on the shirt likely from the indigo wearing off a bit. This shirt is likely to fade fast.

@jfk1117 I also gave my a wash (but on warm) to encourage the shrinkage people have been discussing. Definitely noticed more of the linen nep showing afterwards and chucked it on a bit damp to encourage some creases in the arms. Can't wait to see how mine and others here ages! Unfortunately it's getting a bit cold for this piece here in Australia, so will likely be on ice until Spring rolls around.

First post here. Absolutely love this shirt, buttoned or unbuttoned; it looks fantastic. The way the sunlight hits the indigo is impressive. Thank you, Iron Heart

I can see that this thing is going to get worn a lot this summer.
-
After reading this whole post and trying to hold out in hopes my size would sell out, I finally gave in and have a xxl on the way. Hoping this will be a perfect summer shirt for me in the hot Texas summers. Looking at most likely making it a work shirt every now and then and my main shirt on the weekends.

@Ral1121 You did the right thing!
-
@will6er maybe but my bank account may disagree lol
-
-
@Cymro Potentially?! Hehe
-
Two more weeks of wear. Cuffs really starting to go.
-
Anyone roll their sleeves on this shirt and if so, do worry about unusual creases/fading?
-
@Ral1121
I roll up my sleeves all the time. I don't worry about creases and fading; I welcome them.Here is my logic:
If rolling up my sleeves causes creases and fading, then they are not unusual, they are exactly what they should be. Ceases and fading caused by how I use a product is why I buy indigo products in the first place. This is how an indigo pieces become 'yours'. Your fades will be different from everyone else's.
