IHSH-33-OD - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt - Indigo Overdyed Black

Looks like you have some creases from where the sleeve is gathered at the cuff. Did you machine wash? I have similar creases set into my moleskin cpo from the spin cycle. They will fade into the back ground in time. You can iron your sleeves to discourage them from fading further into that pattern.

Yes 2 or 3 times in the machine .
Will try to iron the sleeves , good tip ! Thank you ! -
I wanted the 33od because I thought it would get better with time. Living in it while it does has become a great joy.

Either 3rd or 4th wash, not sure

New to IH. Came across it on IG and this is my first piece. I'm hooked. Has me looking at my Filson stuff like its inferior.
Just posting day one pics….no soaking or washes yet. Will post when some good fades start.
I'm 5'11" 170lbs and chose a Large.
I'm wearing a Filson waffle thermal underneath
Just looking to bring in the waist and bottom opening a touch ( wondering if it can even be done )
Will update with measurements later
Slight change in lighting gives a much different tone.
One for the watch guys

IMO it’s a perfect fit already, I don’t see any need to bring it in.

Welcome to the forum. Classic shirt and it looks real good.
Imho getting that shirt tailored would be an error. Firstly, the fit is great. Secondly, while it can be done, you’ll be ruining some of the best constructional stitching in the business and replacing it with something practically (and probably aesthetically), sub-standard. So paying more for a poorer end result when the original looked perfect seems unnecessary.

Yeah ok, that was sort of my initial fear. The stitching is beautiful. Thanks for the reply

One more thing.. it just occurred to me that as this is the OD version, matching the stitching will be impossible. This is garment dyed so the stitching is OD’ed too. The stitching on a tailoring job can never match it.

@neph93 I thought the poly cotton thread did not take up the dye?
In any event, shirt looks great on you @HalfPastNever. I agree with endo and neph that I would at least wear it and wash it a few times before you consider alterations. It will mold to your body.
I too got into higher quality clothing via Filson. While I still consider them a great brand, their fabrics and construction don’t really compare to IH.
