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

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.

I haven't noticed any fading caused by the rolled up sleeves. But I have only had the shirt since mid-April, so it's early days.

I decided to pick this up last week and wow, this is a really interesting and unique piece. The fabric is way more substantial than I’d expected but I’m also not surprised. As others have shown with their initial wears, creasing is heavy on the arms which will look pretty cool with age.

I’ve been wearing it without an undershirt and I find it super comfortable despite how crispy the initial hand feels.

I've worn mine multiple times since I got it in May. Probably my favorite shirt of the spring/summer line. Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning around the collar if you haven't washed it yet? My only concern in using Shout is the indigo dye.

I would wet it and rub a soft hand soap into it, then rub fabric against fabric on the dirty areas.
Do for a bit, rinse, and see how you've done, if still dirty, repeat.
Do in stages to make sure you aren't being too aggressive.

@Giles Thank you, Giles, much appreciated! I'll give it a go

[Giles]

Go gentle to start with and ramp it up if necessary....

Out in South Carolina visiting Morgan’s sisters. Been wearing my 443 on the daily since I got it about a week ago.

@Mizmazzle a great beach companion!

Edit: the shirt too, of course

@GuyForget Nice Rotring.

[GuyForget]

@Aetas good eye. IH workshirts and color coordinated Rotrings. Two of my favorites

[Cymro]

@GuyForget snap!

@Oaktavia went hiking in my 443 yesterday. Got very sweaty. Mine has had three washes already. Def bringing the fabric to life.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle hell yeah dude stoked to see where we take these.

[GuyForget]

@Cymro my brethren

Anyone washed this? I just threw it in with the "regular" family stuff and fucked it a bit. Good news: it will fade. Bad news: I need to integrate these marbles in. Hoping I can fade back consistently over time.

@will6er wabi sabi my friend. I’m sure any marbling will blend over time

[Mizmazzle]

@will6er I’ve washed mine 3 times on delicate. Sleeves came in about 1/2” but i havent experienced any marbling or uneven lines etc.

Do you have any pics to show what you’re experiencing?

[will6er]

Light was fading but you get the idea. A line on the back, 2 on the front.
