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

@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.
