Love this release. So hard to choose another CPO between either of these, the 409, or the SEXIH25 OD restock.

Would be fun to see him run away with it. I still think it’ll tighten up by Sunday evening but back to back will be so sweet.

I guess it’s time for a wash! Thanks for the opinions.

@jfox1980 I do - not sure what it was about the last time I wore it but it turned out to be a sweaty one.

Wore this guy on a long day at work and sweated it up pretty good. Not super visible in the photo but there are those salt residue rings around the pits now. It’s definitely not time for a wash yet… any solutions to spot treat these stains with this fabric?

@AdamJ might not look terrible but my prior version of this shirt sits very different at the collar. Merz are on it

Thanks y’all looking forward to breaking these puppies in. Appreciate the feedback.

As mentioned previously.. after the hem and soak these ended up a little bit longer than the measurement I had in mind. Factoring in the cuff, these are measuring about .5-.75 inches longer than my 888-142od and 633s. I was bit worried but obviously they’re not a mile off, and maybe .5 inches extra isn’t a bad thing with XHS? Thoughts? Brightness all the way up so the fit is visible.

@Tom-Longarms last weekend on Camden Street!

@Tom-Longarms pretty sure I saw this fit IRL in Dublin

This is a skill I really want to learn. Amazing job. Would love to hear the steps you’ve taken to get to this point. If you do the sleeves make sure to document it here!

@worn2fade @Denimhead-0 thanks gents!

Pretty sure a year ago I said to myself I’d never do 25oz yet here we are… post hot soak fit. Seemingly I only lost about .5 inches in inseam so I fear they might be longer than I wanted. Will have to see how they wear over the next little while to see what I should do next. Overall happy with the fit. Wife on the other hand, is confused.

It’s all IH today. 888-142od.

Thanks for the insights gents

For the initial hot soak with this denim - inside out or no? And if yes, at what stage would you turn them right way round? I’ve seen on the forum people previously getting unwanted streaks / marks after the soak, so trying to avoid that.

First IH piece was the IHSH-288 Kersey work shirt in July of ‘22. Was so impressed with the fabric and construction.. it made me an immediate IH loyalist.
