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

^here´s the whole story guys:
Bought this beautiful garment in an XL a few days ago, but unfortunately it's a tad too large. I gave it a hot soak to shrink but it did little to its size. I have it in a 60 wash as I write - hopefully that'll tighten the fibres along with a spin in the drier. I only need to lose 0.5 to 1" across the chest. Will post fit pics once dry.

I've got one of these on the way, can't wait
Can any on confirm these will lose .5 of an inch (shoulders mainly) after an hot soak? I have had a good read through the thread but advise seems to be pretty conflicting -
If say its a safe bet with a hot wash maybe not with a soak.. Agitation is the key to yielding a bit of extra shrinkage has been my discovery and I do it on every shirt to achieve a bit more of a bespoke look.

^I'm 6 months in without a wash and it's only just starting to show definition. Serious Wear (TM) required.
Finally caved and washed the '33. As expected all indigo is still on the shirt and it looks as good as the day it was purchased. A little stiffer, nil shrinkage. Will get some photos of it in the next week or two once the creases settle back in.
