Sashiko’s look
A little Sj Gah

The hatchet is so dope!
-
The soak pretty much did nothing on the black Sashiko, so I went full nuclear. I hot washed it and put it in the dryer on high for 15 minutes. Now it’s finishing up in front of a fan. Wish me luck
-
@northsouthdenimguy mine shrank considerably doing the same. I actually did 2 hot soaks/ 2 hot washes and 2 hot dries just to try to get as much out as possible. It shortened a bit but not a ton. Seems just about the same as my indigo now. Feels perfect in the body
-
Still a little damp, but I think the hot wash and the partial machine dry worked pretty well. I’m going to throw it back in the dryer to finish it up.
This is my first experience with this fabric type other than a Soso shirt that I had made so I was a little hesitant to do anything drastic to begin with, cold or warm soaks are always my go to. That’s Soso shirt felt like cardboard sandpaper compared to this one.

@northsouthdenimguy looks great man. After trialing with the indigo I have my methods. I tend to do a suuuuuper hot soak until the water is cool to the touch, hot wash and then hot dry. My issue is a 2xl would probably fit me, but I’d be afraid that the pits would get way too tight once it touched water
-
Definitely understand
I prefer my shirts more fitted. Also, when I take these photos, they are not exactly how they look in person. Things get scrunched up or pulled in…

@northsouthdenimguy @hgering27 you both look great in your ori shirts!! Glad you finally got them. I will definetely try to preorder the indigo one next time. Are preorders also crowded and sold out quick?

@FlavourFade XL went in like 30 seconds for the indigo. I didn't even have a chance for the black. And I was a few minutes early. Good luck on the next round
-
@catdad1 okay like expected... If I don't make it I just wait for the IHSH-437
-
@FlavourFade thanks man! It’s tough on preorders but possible. They basically do an allotment of slots and then whatever sizes are ordered are what they make. But hopefully they’ll have a good stock of the indigo

I was offered a Wills jacket in 2XL-Long, and I'm trying to figure out if the sizing will work for me.
I had a size 4XL IHJ-104-BLK Oiled Cotton Chore Coat, which was almost identical in the dimensions, except that the shoulder width of the Iron Heart was (according to the chart) 21.3" and the Wills is (according to the chart) 20.75".
My shoulders and upper chest are the pain point in Iron Heart gear. I gave the chore coat to my brother because it was too tight there, and my IHSH-289 sometimes gapes slightly between the second and third button. The Wills is half an inch narrower through the shoulders, but it has a pleated back, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with it.
@northsouthdenimguy do you have a Wills? If so, what size? Your chest and arm measurements are the same as mine.
-
I’ve got a V2 Will’s 2XL regular. I’m 24” p2p and usually prefer 20” shoulders, I think my Wills is 19.5”. It’s perfect for me, other than would like a little more length in sleeves, although they are fine.
-
Sorry, no help here. I do not have a Wills
-
does anyone know when the indigo sashikos will come back in for pre order?
