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

[FlavourFade]

@worn2fade again, great example of how IH makes stuff that lasts a lifetime. I don't know how you make it to 70+ wears between washes but the shirt has probably much more weartime than most "normie denim shirts" ever get but still looks like it has so much life left

[worn2fade]

@FlavourFade thanks dude! It definitely has a bunch of life left. I’ve seen two tiny pinholes but nothing gnarly yet that needs repair.

This shirt didn’t see its first wash until day 150 so it’s pretty nuts. Lots of baking in the sun and deodorizing those first five months. I don’t think I’d do that again though.

Incase you’re curious:

First Wear Day: 02/17/2025

Soaks: 1 Washes: 6

Wash 1: 07/17/25 (Day 150)
Wash 2: 10/17/25 (Day 240)
Soapy Soak 1: 11/20/25 (Day 273)
Wash 3: 01/19/26 (Day 312)
Wash 4: 03/30/26 (Day 342)
Wash 5: 05/05/26 (Day 379)
Wash 6: 06/29/26 (Day 434)

The times that the shirt was washed in close intervals is because I either stained it somehow or did something that made it stink/get really dirty (Offroad, camp, worked on my car for hours, etc.) I do try to hold off as long as possible though to retain indigo and keep the high contrast going.

Edit: also just to add this pic!

Definitely getting my monies worth. Down to $0.74 a wear at this point with 444 days of wear.

@worn2fade What app is that?!

[worn2fade]

@jmp777 wear tracker bro!

[jmp777]

@worn2fade Awesome! Thanks

[jmp777]

@worn2fade this app is sick!!

[FlavourFade]

@worn2fade amazing effort bro!! This shirt is hall of fades material

[will6er]

@worn2fade $0.74 a wear...

Given how much you have worn this I do not need that app. I have at least 1 IH shirt I have had for a couple of years that would be in the 10s of dollars a wear.

[worn2fade]

@FlavourFade thanks so much dude. Hopefully it makes it there, that would be so dope.

[worn2fade]

@will6er maybe the app will motivate you to wear it more!

@worn2fade just downloaded it. Very cool app.

11 more days til day 500!

@worn2fade Unreal. I’m like five months in on this one. How many washes?

[moskiitto]

@worn2fade Amazing!

[worn2fade]

@chillmonroe 1 soak, 6 washes & 1 ocean soak. I didn’t do its first wash until I literally hit 5 months, it was brutal but that’s what helped achieve the higher contrast. If you scroll up a bit on this thread (pretty recent,) I have the entire break down!

[worn2fade]

@moskiitto thanks dude!

[twin]

Love this shirt.

[moskiitto]

@twin big difference in contrast compared to new xhsib, amazing, keep wearin

[twin]

@moskiitto Will keep on wearing. The only way to get those fades.

500 days today! For now the plan is to keep it going but I’m tempted to start a new project. We’ll see what the future has in store.
