IHSH-33-IND - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo
-
@jerkules nice score! They do have a tonal version of the 33 as well
-
Thinking about picking an XXL up which is my UHF size but am worried about shrinkage in the length after first wash. Any recos are welcome.
Shrinkage is minimal… less than half an inch in the length. I take XL in these and UHF’s and these fit slightly bigger.

Wife: "How do you know that?, Doctor Smartypants…" said with abject derision and a tincture of contumelious mockery.
Me: "Ummm, I read the instructions?"
Wife: "Oh..."

New to this brand and new to this community. Got a pair of 777 14oz three months ago and wore them almost daily. Then was influenced into buying the IHSH-33-IND (from the depts of retail in Cologne as it was nowhere available) that I received a week ago.
It poses a few questions:
- Jeans I can wear daily for over 150 days without a wash. This probably doesn't work for a shirt. How do I keep the indigo and also keep it clean? What do you advise (apart from not wearing it to the gym) to not make it smell?
- Does the shirt shrink when washing. As the fit is perfect at the moment, will a wash ruin that?
- If it does shrink, can I stretch it back when still damp. It works on my jeans.
Thanks in advance

Great picture!
I wear it for quite sometime now. Everyday a clean undershirt and air every night, sometimes with a clothing refresher.
I wash the garments that I don’t want to change in colour or size in a bath tub. That works perfectly, hardly any colour bleeding and no shrinkage. -
Washing alone inside out on cold with very little detergent shouldn’t affect the color or size too much. No dryer. The armpits are the biggest issue so if you want to wash less frequently you can use a mixture of white vinegar and water to kill the bacteria. After it dries there’s no residual vinegar smell, unlike clothes fresheners which I find to be very heavily fragranced. Tide makes a spray for this purpose as well but I haven’t used it.
Don’t be afraid of the shirt fading though. That’s what it’s meant to do. Now that you’re past your gateway pants and shirt there’ll be no shortage of new looking shirts in your future.
