Totally agree, great store.

@americanathreads Mine did tighten up a little bit after the first wash as well. Not much though, and it didn't really change the fit in any meaningful way in my case.

This is such a good shirt, love the 14oz ib in a western.

@Oaktavia Wow! Looks bloody amazing.

@americanathreads Looks great in my opinion! But only you know how it feels wearing it.

(And personally I like having shirts with a bit of a different fit, some a bit tighter, some a bit looser. Others may prefer the same fit on everything)

@Karol Nice!

@Gammaman That turned out great!

@Giles Wow, that's a proper fish.

@FlavourFade Have you ever tried the 777? Personally I really like that cut. Seems to hit the sweet spot for me these days. I've got several pairs of 555 and 666 (and 634), which often work well, although I can definitely see your point regarding the tight thighs on the 666 and the high rise/tight knees/roomy waist on the 555.

I've got a Tormek T-8 and a few different wheels. Been very happy with the results. Love a sharp knife, for leatherwork, kitchen duties etc.
(It's packed away currently though, after a recent move)

@Gammaman Did you try giving them an actual wash? Occasionally I've found the agitation involved in a wash cycle to give a bit of extra shrinkage compared to just soaking, even if soaked multiple times. (Especially with raw, non-sanforized jeans). Never tried the UHRs myself though.

I will also say that I've seen pairs here over the years that I thought initially looked clearly too big, but after some wear they've really molded to the person's body and end up looking great in short time.

Best of luck, you've posted a lot of great pieces here over the years.

Very, very cool!

(Seems like they are no longer an IH dealer these days. I've bought some other items from them, and had an excellent experience, would definitely recommend them)

@Oaktavia Not boring in the slightest, in fact this is what we’re all here for. (Crazy as it is!) This one is so good, really looking forward to the release in 2026.

@Oaktavia Glad to give these some attention, pretty barren in this thread!

I’m interested to see how the cheese dyed weft of these compares to the reactive dyed weft of the SBGs, for better or worse.

@Mister_Brue Soaking now, and yes, I’ll be starting monday.

You found the perfect emoji there!

Adding some pics here as well, as I'm wearing these for the Indigo Invitational.

Will be updating with some progress pics as we move along.
Excited see how these develop.

Let's go!

Finally back in some black jeans after a few months of (glorious) XHS.

Excited to see how these develop over the next 12 months. Never seen a faded (or even slightly worn) pair of these before.
These have a rope dyed warp and a cheese dyed weft. Interested to see how they compare with the SBGs from last year.
Love the branding, logo and lightning bolt on these as well.

So much variation this Indigo Invitational, should be a good one.

@Mister_Brue Nice! Really looking forward to following along. You're one of the favourites going in, no doubt.

@Jcaz6996 That makes sense, and XHSbb is incredible. Hope to see you back (and winning!) the Invitational at some point.

@Oaktavia One day indeed! With IH you never run out of great things to try.

@Oaktavia I’ve got the Indigo Invitational coming up in a pair of IGW-101B, and then I’ve got an embarrassingly large pile of brand new pairs of XHS, XHSIB, XHSBB, XHSMB, 19L, Samurai 25OZ etc. to get through.

The time for UHR will come though!
