IHSH-170 - Indigo Dyed 10oz Check Selvedge Flannel Work Shirt

[madmonday]

thanks folks

That little doggie is a ham & starts jumping around & putting on a show when ever I come home or go in the kitchen 

Indigo is already on this number & it bleeds, why did none tell me it bleeds, hahahaha

Yes this shirt definitely does bleed, much more than the 129's in my opinion.

I just wanted to get people's opinions on this. Was wearing my 170 yesterday and felt an irregular area on the back when I took it off. Seems an extra yellow thread got caught up in the weaving process. I took pics of front (first two) and back (last one).

So is this an expected anomaly in hand woven fabric?  Or is this a defect that might compromise the shirt?

@tvenuto I would take that up directly with the place you purchased it from if I was you, be that IHUK, SE or another retailer.

[tvenuto]

It was IHUK. Figured this was the easiest way to show pics of the (potential) issue and they seem to monitor the forum almost obsessively. If nothing comes of it here I'll try contacting them via email. Also the members themselves have been a great resource, and this may have been a "yeah thats normal" sort of thing.

Haraki thinks that it is just a short length of brown yarn that got pulled into the weave and that it can be pulled out with impunity.  But he is double checking with the weaver….

[tvenuto]

Thanks for the attention to this. Although in the first and second shots you can see that the double yarn continues to the left and goes all the way to the side seam. It looks to me like there was a double yarn that broke and doubled back into the more obvious lump in the middle. In the last pic (which is the reverse side) it goes off to the right. I can take more shots if you think they'd be helpful.

I'm not sure what that'll achieve.  It's clearly not meant to be like that, but we don't have another to replace it with…

really looks like this to me @tvenuto noting to worry about imo, enjoy the beauty…

and boy, aka me should learn to use the "request an email when they are available to purchase" function, damn…

I'd snip the loose thread and keep on enjoying it. I cant imagine that thread compromising the shirt in any way.

It just means that it is waiting to be extincted, but we may get one returned.

I'm pleased to report that I machine washed my shirt on the delicate cycle of my front loader- cold water, tide pod, no spin cycle. It didn't bleed or get messed up. Shrank a little. Indigo transfer is gone too.

I tried hand washing it first. But there was a ton of indigo transfer in the armpit area.

I fan dried it over night, and put it in the dryer WHEN IT WAS DRY to fluff it up. It didn't need ironing after being in the dryer for 15 minutes.

I'd still like to know how this Shirt will develop over time…has someone seen noticeable Change of colour ?

[veloaudio]

I'm planning to wash mine today. I didn't see any noticeable change until I saw the shirt in direct sunlight and the different colors of blue pop. I'll post some pictures after I wash mine if there is a noticeable change.
