Thanks @pechelman that’s really appreciated.
I like the look too @Giles, but it may inform my colour choice
@jerkules you're welcome. I know this is a bit late, but was wearing this shirt today and figured a picture could help your decision.

@pechelman looks rad, I really like the colour you went for! Did you use a standard dye kit like Dylon or something?
-
Thanks @jerkules
I used RIT dye using the stove top method and the "Petal Pink". Also used the fixer afterwards to prevent it from bleeding or fading too much.Also found the original post; it lightens up a bunch after it gets a wash and dry.

Great color!

Curious, does anyone else rotate/wear/wash their denim based off the current level of “stink” and the activities to ensue? As in, wow, this one is really ripe… *pull out of rotation and add to the sweaty yard work pile and push a few more days of wear before wash.
-
@flannel-slut After getting over the initial "washing will prevent the fades!" I tend to just wash as and when needed
-
For the most part, I do wash when smelly or dirty but come summer and yard work; I need to wash, literally every time. I’ve been moving some of these items that could use a wash into my “working in my workwear” pile before cleaning.
However, still can not be bothered to wash behind my ears. -
certainly not moving these stinky items into the date night pile. BUT I may need to reconsider moving these stinkies into my "going through customs pile"... Moses and the Red Sea sounds like it could have major advantages
-
Hopefully your washing with a good detergent, sometimes a stench has been known to remain in fibers after washing.

@ROman none of my IH gear holds much odor and does air out very well but will say my RGT ISC shirt gets stinky no time, like a super power
-
@flannel-slut since I don't live in a very warm climate I can stretch out the periods of "no wash" by hanging my denim outside in the cooler nights. Also my workplace has aircon. But I have never worn a pair of jeans longer than 100 days without a gentle wash. Even if they don't smell, they still get dirty or stained at some point

I happened upon an interview of Daniel Day Lewis and it almost looked like he had a Iron Heart shirt on. Can anyone confirm?
Looks like it had the western yokes in front but not in back
