      @Cymro I wash and then spin at about 0 or 400 (depending what I feel like/whether a crow has flown past the window/whether there is an R in the month etc etc etc)......

      Then I turn right side out and hang on a line.

      End of.

        Do you think you fade a shirt better by wearing it beneath another shirt?

          @RobeOfTheMagi Yes and you could look up @denim-dawg’s experience of wearing bibs over his jeans as inspiration.

          Time, wear, and friction would all contribute to fading.

            Essentially I should stop overthinking and just get on with it!! 😀

                @RobeOfTheMagi I've always wondered if there might be a little abrasion happening from shirt-to-shirt contact, but it's got to be minimal at best.

                    This should be the IHV-13 vest. Any idea how much of these were made?

                            They used to be listed on eBay UK in a few remaining sizes, but it seems like they're gone now.

                              Are the IH 14oz denim good for summer? I’ve heard mixed reviews. For reference, I live in the Midwest, USA so it can get hot and humid.

                                @ssherman95 This was a response to a similar question in the 555-14oz thread from @Steve an IHUK staff member:

                                @Steve said in IH-555S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - Indigo:

                                @GardenState I have a pair of the 14oz in the 555 cut (on left) and 21oz, in the 777 cut (the 14oz I have had probably 6 months longer), and if I'm honest I havent really noticed any difference when I wear them in the summer from a breathability aspect - the tighter weave counter balances the denim weight - but the 14oz I do find a bit more comfortable in the summer to move around in (cycling etc) which you tend to do as you are out and about more. I find also the 14oz denim is a bit more electric blue in colour. Hope this helps!

                                Hope this helps and I also moved your question to this thread.

                                  @ssherman95 id say 16, 18, and 21oz, generally in that order, are all better and more breathable than the 14oz which is pretty tightly woven and hard faced. I recall the 14IB in particular being pretty hot when new. ymmv.

                                          for jeans that are sanforized but unwashed do these need to be washed before wearing to prevent the fades from shifting?

                                            They don’t need to be, but our advice is to soak/wash first to bed in constructional stitching before wearing
