IHSH-33-IND - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo

Ok mine due first wash after 100 days. Any advice? Want to do 40’c wash to try to get some shrinkage mainly in sleeves but rest ok. Soak and then bung in washing machine but what about spin? Same as jeans as in no or does it not matter? TIA

@Gavin666 id go low spin

@Gavin666 I've machine washed and dried mine now a couple of times with no real special treatment. I do thoroughly soak it before tossing it in the wash and also turn it inside out. The length shrunk a bit the first time but has otherwise been stable since in all dimensions.

They can be trumble dry low. Says it on inside

@pechelman thanks. Was thinking more of a spin wash as not a good idea to do with jeans. Did you spin after washing? Never tumble dry anything.

[pechelman]

Did a low spin and a tumble dry at low to just a little damp, with a bunch of other clothes. Not the worse for wear. Certainly, this is not "reccommended" but I was hoping to get a bit of length out of it. @Gavin666

First wash after c100 days wearing everyday at home and it has gone from being a good fit (but slightly large chest and arms & too long in sleeves) to being spot on and made to measure! Lost c 0.5-0.75” all over at 40’c

@Gavin666 Very nice. What jeans are you wearing?

[Gavin666]

@twin Rogue Territory Stanton Proprietary denim 15oz and peaking under the IHSH 33 is a UES wabash - trying to fade both together!

@pechelman Did you wash cold, warm or hot? Would also like to lose a little length.

[pechelman]

I soaked in warm water and ran through the washer on "eco warm" which is probably about 35-40C. Then in the dryer on low until just lightly damp.

If you want to lose as much length as possible, soak warm or hot and agitate a lot by hand. Then wash as normal.

@pechelman Ok thanks so soak first in tub in warm water and then put in washing machine on warm. I couldn’t tell from previous posts if people were just soaking in tub or washing in machine or both. Yeah could use tightening up little all over and lose a little length then should be good. Thanks!
