@Anesthetist I'd be upset with those distinct fade lines on a brand new high dollar shirt. They should have pulled that one and any others that were "bad". I realize these are unique fabrics and weaves with deep indigo but that needs to be taken into account when being produced. Nobody would take a pair of jeans with that down each leg. Someone needs to comp you.

Whats the opinion on getting shirts altered? The 21oz sashiko shirt was too loose in the back and i just dropped it off at my tailor to add a small seem down the back to make it fit perfect. I know these are expensive pieces but sometimes the fit isnt perfect and alterations can fix that. A lot of small fit issues with sleeves being too long, or too tight can be solved with a $30 adjustment imo.

@msafrons I think the general opinion around here is do what makes you happy. Plenty of people get stuff altered — my only advice is make sure you have a good tailor, specifically one who can work with heavyweight material. I had a local tailor chain jack up a pair of jeans years ago (thankfully pre IH for me) and I learned my lesson there.

@msafrons I’ve altered an IH jacket and it made it perfect!! I agree with @popvulture Up to you to decide. But sometimes it can make all the difference.

@RubyRae I don’t think this will be an issue on the long run. It is like the creases you have on any other brand new folded shirt, after the first wash they are gone.
The colour is not altered by the crease itself, it is the fabric which is reflecting the light differently because of it.
After 48h of wear I can say that this fabric is like a snake with scales skin. It is a little bit shiny where it folds.
I am very excited to see the result after the first wash, not really in term of fading, but more for the texture of it. I think the cotton will evolve nicely because it is a very tight weave.
Just to say that these creases are not too worrying to me. I think it will disappear after 48h wear and the first wash.
