IHSH-33-IND - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo
-
Giving this classic some “ tough-love” for the foreseeable future .

My best pal is here and I'm trying to hook him with this shirt. Dude is big. 24.6 pp and about 20+ on the shoulders. None of his clothes fit right and he knows it. XXXL? Ideas? (I'm so used to looking for my own numbers that I can't quite imagine his size.)
-
Can you measure one of his shirts and articulate what he thinks is wrong with. the fit…..
I measured up a shirt and went for it reasonably confident. "Reasonably confident" is always somewhere between "yeah, sure, definitely" and "I have no actual clue." (I always aim not to be the one returning stuff, now that is for sure.)

The shirt arrived just in time…I bought it for my best mate who we hadn't seen in more than a year for the obvious pandemic reasons. He had seen my IH and I could tell how stoked he was with everything about it. I measured up one of his shirts without him knowing but it was ill-fitting and I was almost guessing.
Package arrives. I tell him to open it. You shoulda' seen the look on his face. Then he puts it on. Perfect fit. Relief. Ecstatic. Praise the gods and IH.

@profdbrk what an immensely kind thing to do. Glad it all worked out on sizing for your pal. The world needs more of that kind of thing at the moment

Brilliant, I am relieved….

Fantastic gesture @profdbrk, they must have been over the moon!
And well said @LewisStonehouse

Airing the shirt out is important as you say. I also always wear a fresh undershirt and natural, unscented deodorant on a clean body.
Worsh the undershirt after every wear and worsh the 33 as Giles says: when it looks or smells dirty, which won't be too often with this method.

I've always gone by the method "if I am questioning if I should wash it, I probably should".

I don’t wear anti perspirant because of how it can stain shirts but I’ve found most deodorants don’t protect the shirt enough. I read up on salt rock deodorants, which admittedly sounded witchy and gimmicky at first, but they work by killing the odor causing bacteria produced by sweaty pits. The byproduct was that I could wear a denim shirt or an UHF all day and not have to wash it after a single wear. Once your shirt smells like stinky pits there’s absolutely nothing you can do to freshen it except wash it.

How do you guys keep your shirt fresh are there any magic tricks?
I air the shirt every night and as often as possible when I don’t wear it.
I pretty much follow the same guidelines for all of my clothes. Wash on regular cold cycle, hang dry (while reshaping collars and such as much as I can while placing on the hanger). Only things I wash (still on cole) and actually put into a dryer are things like socks, underwear, sheets, towels.
As far as how often, depends on what it is. I have some IH jeans that have never met water, and I have some IH shirts that I wash once a week. If you are at all skeptical about losing sizing or length, or about fading, wash as little as possible with as much time in between.
