@FlavourFade pretty much everyday for eight hours from the 7th of February on.

@RobeOfTheMagi very cool, I wish I could wear my shirts more at work, but have to wear a company Shirt and am restricted to fade jeans only while working

@Galena418 No immediate plans at the minute.
I would keep an eye on this thread, as soon as we get any news/updates of note it will get posted on here first.

Hi all, new to this site, I was looking for a new denim shirt as I have always loved the hard wearing nature of them.
I bought my tonal shirt in mid Jan 25 and have worn the majority of the days since, I purchased slightly larger than I usually buy a shirt, but denim in my experience shrinks a fair bit over time, I have clothes in my wardrobe that are a good 20+ years old.
I am getting to the point where I want to wash the shirt, and will probably do so once I have completed my biking holiday later this month (determined not to take any other shirt) what the best tip for washing to reduce arm and body width, for a more fitted look.
This shirt is brilliant with the long sleeves when riding my old motorbike, keep looking for a dobby shirt next.

@simonr100 This is from the product description for this shirt and hopefully it helps you:
Sanforized & One-Washed
- Sanforization is a post-weave mechanical process which removes most potential shrinkage from a fabric before garment construction
- To further reduce the risk of shrinkage, we wash the completed garment in an aggressive industrial washing machine. This process removes virtually all potential shrinkage.
- No further shrinkage is expected when washed according to our care guidelines
Care Guidelines
- We recommend washing this garment at 30°C with a low (or no) spin cycle. Hang dry, do not tumble dry

@simonr100 great lookin shirt. You could always try hot soaking / washing only the sleeves if that’s the part you want to shrink.

I have one too and it has shrunk a little bit after one hot soak and one wash, but it’s not a huge difference.
-
Thanks for the info, looking forward to giving the shirt its first wash
-
@Galena418 Thanks for the info. As long as it will be re-run at some point definitely worth waiting for.
-
What are my options here? The sleeve opening is a bit too wide for me, though the rest of the shirt fits great so I want to keep it. My local tailor said he would have to cut the cuff and there would be seam, not ideal.
-
Soaking and washing would not do a lot. You could wash really hot (not my advice) and look if it shrinks a bit if rest of the shirt still has room. I personally would spray water on the sleeves to set some creases and live with it.
-
@aimes You could add two extra female snap button parts on the sleeves. Problem solved.
I think it was @denim-dawg who did this on a shirt if I remember correctly. -

@aimes no need to use hot water. You spray water on your sleeves and then just wear the shirt and set the creases while moving around
-
@aimes I agree, don't doubt the Dawg!
