IHSH-33-IND - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo

[FlavourFade]

@drewfonse I think the fit is 101%. Why would you want to layer more than a tee under a shirt? Get a jacket instead and rock your perfect fitting 33

Edit: judging from sleeves and shoulders sizing up would end up too bulky

[Kasi]

Stick with small

Yup, fair. I’ll stick with small. Sleeves would be too long, you’re right.

Went brought lots of starch spray.
To crease the arms.

Never heard abt this trick, got intrigued with it, therefore a few questions to our denim sand box society that may sound silly.
Does the spray leave any starch stains/residues on the surface of the fabric? For how long is it reasonable to keep it on till wash it off?
If kept on for a considerably long time will it not contribute to fabric brakes through at the creases?

If I remember it right one of the reasons the presoak/wash recommended for a new pair of jeans, apart from hygienic purposes, is to wash out remaining starch so that the fabric is not only becomes softer and comfortable to wear but also eliminate the risk of starch contribution to brakes through the fabric making it remain sturdy and less flexible when it comes to motion. Please correct me where I'm mistaken. Thank in advance you all

I’m wearing this for the first time at my cold workplace and a co worker just told me I need a bolo tie.

She tried to touch my shirt and I should have slapped her hand away haha.

“It is nice, though”. Yeah! Yeah it is!

Just wait until the Fall when I unleash the CPO. You ain’t seen nothing yet!

[bluemantra]

Can I get a fit check. Wondering if I should've sized up to a Large.

[pechelman]

What's making you think about sizing up? That looks like a great fit @bluemantra

[bluemantra]

@pechelman Thank you. The bottom flares out a bit and is a tad snug in shoulders

[pechelman]

Ah, gotcha.
I almost never button the last button so you could try that. Also I want to say I've washed mine a few times now and the only change I've noticed is maybe a little shrinkage in the length. This would bring the hem up a bit if yours behaves similarly and might also help reduce the flare at the hips and you wouldn't need to worry about the width getting tighter.

Ultimately though, if it's not comfortable to you it doesn't matter what anyone else says.

[Mizmazzle]

For looks great to me. It will soften up a lot too and feel more comfortable with some wear. My 33B is super soft and light feeling at this point.

Anyone who has had this shirt a long time, does it shrink much? Saw a site with a guy who has had this for ages and the XXL turned into and XL after lots of wear and a few washes.

[Giles]

Typically "shrinkage" like that is because it's the person who turns into an XXL from an XL after a few years It has been one-washed, so very little, if any shrinkage, should happen. I got none with mine, but given enough abuse washing and drying, I guess some shrinkage could be achieved, but I find it hard to believe that it would be a whole size...

[Kasi]

Impossible..

[Gavin666]

That’s what I thought Giles.
Here’s the thread and measurements. Was the chest I was concerned about.

I've washed my 33 a few times. After the first wash the lengths definitely came up a bit, say .5" but the widths felt pretty stable. I didnt carefully measure it to verify though. No noticeable change after the 2nd or 3rd wash for me.

I’ve washed mine over 30x’s and this is my experience too for what it’s worth.

Can't argue with Bryan

[Motorhubro]

Hi guys. Can anyone tell me if this is an 33-ind? I bought it secondhand and was surprised to see that the colour on the inside was much darker then the other 33-ind. Also the white snaps are unusual, but that can of course be a pimped choice from the first owner. The size is XXL, but the measurement are more close to L when I compare on todays 33-ind.

[Giles]

It;'s not denim, it's chambray - that is why the reverse is the same colour as the face.

[Motorhubro]

Thanks Giles. Yes, I thought so, but I haven`t seen it before with western yokes and so dark colour before.
