IHSH-110 - 12oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Western Shirt

[Madame Buttonfly]

We did a shrink test (30 min gentle wash at 30 degrees C with small amount of detergent) on IHSH-136 size L (same fabric) and we got the following results:

In inches before/after shrink test:

Shoulders - 19.1/19 (0.1" shrinkage)
Length - 30.4/29.6 (0.8" shrinkage)
Pit to Pit - 23.2/22.9 (0.3" shrinkage)
Sleeve - 27.4/26.6 (0.7" shrinkage)

Wow, looks like it ran really long in the body and arms. This might interest @tatmantall

I think I could get away with a large M…

[Giles]

Yes, but there's 0.7" shrinkage in the arms….

Copped. Stoked.

One more fall shirt purchase to go…

I'm gonna beat the shit out of one of these.

[GingerMagician]

Seriously tempted by one of these.

Thinking an indigo/indigo tux with my 666SII would be particularly awesome…

Trying to decide on which size to get.  Anyone have any results from a soak or wash.  The work-shirt version seems to be getting less than stated, just looking to see if thats true.

Thanks Nick

I don´t think I can ever wash my L so cant help you.

It came in too small by these amounts: (basically my washing buffer)

Shoulders: -0,3"
Chest: -0,4"
Sleeves: -0,2"
Length: +0.1"

Other then that its a sweet shirt, substantial, less crazy contrasty irl. Beautifully put together. IH soft and nice.

@Madame:

The indigo/indigo craze continues with two new shirts in this lovely indigo warp/indigo weft 12oz denim - this is the western version (the work shirt is IHSH-136).

USD335

Sam wears size S (would wear M if over layers):

Just out of curiosity: what can you tell me about the dyeing intensity? In other words, do the yarns have white cores and will the shirt fade with a high contrast? Or will it just gradually dull in color? Or is the fabric dyed clear through to the core of the yarn meaning it will almost never fade??? Just wondering how this shirt will age over the years as it seems likely to have a long life as do nearly all Iron Heart items. Thanks!!!

[Giles]

Harley, both the weft and the warp are rope dyed (something missing from the description, so I have updated it), indigo rope dyeing leaves the core of the yarn white.  It'll fade like a 12oz version of these…

WO-HOoo!

Have just got it. The fit is spot on, the body length is a bit long but I haven't soaked it yet. The shirt is great, not so thick. I like it.
Took two days for it to get from GB to Moscow. Very quick.

I wondered why you had posted that!!!  I have removed it.

Mistakenly. Thanks.

@Giles great images and fantastic answer! much appreciated! the replacement shirt arrived yesterday - gave it a good long warm soak and it came down to the size I need.  I may soak again to see if a bit more can come up in the sleeves. This shirt is wonderful and with those fades in its future it will be in high rotation this year !

I was thinking about what kind of shirt I need for the coming year.. Bought!
