RE: IHSH-422-BRN - 17oz Cotton Duck CPO Shirt - Brown
@Niney unfortunately I didn't measure before and after. So closest as I could do would be to go based off size chart for a before.
I soaked it in warm water for half hour or so, then threw it in a delicate cycle on hot in the wash, then into the dryer on medium heat. Though now that I think about it, probably no need for delicate if going through the abuse of a dryer.
My guesstimates of how it changed in fit...sleeves probably over an inch shorter, over all body length slightly shorter, body doesn't seem any tighter really, sleeves slightly less roomy.
If you want I could take some measurements of it now, I just don't have the before specs

First pic is before wash. Second pic after hot wash and dryer. Can really see how much the sleeves shortened--fully cuffed first pic to not cuffed after wash and dry and around the same amount of creasing.

Vests that are like a cross between 526SV and CPO. Snaps, collar (maybe corduroy), CPO length, internal pockets

More shirts like the 427--yokeless westerns. I like flaps on chest pockets. I enjoy the normal westerns too

RE: noob question about denim OD vs. IB denim >>>
OD definitely more muted fades and more of a black looking garment. IB will be higher contrast fades and way more blue. Starts out super dark but gets bluer and bluer with wash and wear. The OD can kind of go from black with greyish fades to dark blue looking to brighter blue fades depending on the light you are in (that perfect light makes it look more blue, while most the time it looks more black). I've had the 293 (for 6 months) and 14oz-ib pants for over a year for my reference.

RE: IHSH-422-BRN - 17oz Cotton Duck CPO Shirt - Brown
Soaked in warm water, hot wash, and threw it in the dryer...happy with results. Didn't measure before and after, but sleeves shortened up quite a bit and overall body length slightly, not any tighter in the body. Just what I was going for. Sleeves still a little long, but closer to my 3X IHSH sleeve lengths now (my 422 is 4X).

Thinking I might give it the first wash this weekend. Had it for about 6 months as go to over shirt. Far from daily and all day wear
