Out in the wild… This shirt feels just fantastic, such a smooth fabric!

Day 1
Now I finally know why you guys call the Lefty the best jacket in the universe. It’s just an incredible piece of clothing! I could barely move when I wore it damp to work this morning. Just a few hours later it already fits like a glove – or rather like a suit of armor!

Got this during end of season sale – what an amazing shirt!

It isn‘t a slow fader after all, I guess. Love those blues popping out!

@october-rust

I can relate very well and totally get your enthusiasm!

Got my pair of 666D yesterday and I just love them!

thank you my friend you are always thorough and your advice is always very useful, I will get one even though I love the 361 and 362, I wanted to get it last year and I let it slip away I hope I don't make the same mistake this time

Same here… Although they‘re similar I think that they‘re different enough to justify having both. That‘s why I‘ll also get a 295-BB (for now I just own the 361-BLK).

I almost can't stand this thread anymore, as I'm still eagerly awaiting a restock

Anyway, those are some really nice fades @Jcaz6996 !

I had the same problem with my boots, the instep (especially on the right boot) was so tight at the beginning that I almost gave up. The first time I tried them on it took me about 5 minutes (no joke!).

Now, after about 2 months and stubbornly breaking in with the sole, I'm about 80-90% satisfied. I also had some discomfort on the instep and on the side (where the seam of the heel piece runs) at the beginning on both boots while wearing them. However, this has now been resolved.

In the meantime, I have taken the soles out and have now got to the point where I put the soles in with thin socks and take them out with thick ones. I am confident that the boots will break in some more over the next few months so that it will be even easier to put them on and that I can put the soles back in again (also with thicker socks). But yes, those guys are tough!

Good luck with stretching, I look forward to your report!

@Oaktavia

It certainly is killer! First shades of electric blues shining through on my shirt

@Kasi I will for sure! I’m checking every day if there is a restock announcement

@SKT thanks! The cloth is amazing in hand - I don’t think anyone will be able to resist this once they’ve copped a feel!

This is exactly what happened to me today at my favorite local store.

I didn't think I needed another hickory stripe shirt in addition to my IHSH-07-IND. But this one feels totally different and is perfect for the fall months. I love the texture of the stripes and the soft but dense fabric, a really awesome shirt!

Order placed, can't wait to find the beast in my mailbox!

@AtariHunter - hmm. 295-BB or 374-IND?

Hmm, tough decision… If you want something completely different (indigo instead of black, work shirt instead of western shirt and a more relaxing fit, rather warmer, smooth, no denim fabric), then go for the 374. if you‘d like a classic black western shirt which is less heavy than the 361 and has a slightly shorter body but features selvedge denim, then the 295 is the way to go. Then again, the easiest solution would be to get both

@AtariHunter cool … don’t think mine would stand like that now it’s got too soft.
You planning on wearing it everyday if possible?

I mean, it‘s a good thing after all that it will get softer I won‘t be able to wear it every day for now because it still gets hot here in Switzerland – summer isn‘t over yet. And I also have other pieces that I like to wear, so I don‘t think that I will wear it every day. But it will be a staple and I will wear it often for sure!

My first IH item (together with my two other UHF shirts) and I still love it!

@AtariHunter shit hot shot, mate! Day one??

Thanks man! Yes, day one. The creases set in nicely thanks to the hint from the pros in this thread

@Jcaz6996

By the way: Your Lefty is just a piece of art, looks fantastic!

@AtariHunter impressive and inspiring! Have a super day and keep on fading in style

Thank you very much! It really isn‘t magic, anyone can do it. Just soak it and wear it damp like the pros suggested! Have a nice day too

@Mizmazzle

Actually your size L looks quite the same as my size XL did before I hot soaked it (almost 50 degree Celsius) and I‘m really really happy how it fits now. Size M seems perfect on you, but if you‘re going to do a hot soak and if you‘re looking for layering, I would go with the L. I‘m pretty sure it will be spot on post soak!
