IHSH-218-BLK - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt "The Johnny Cash III" - Superblack
-
Has anybody given this a proper hot wash? Curious to see how much it'd shrink (XL).
Weirdly I've trimmed up quite a bit working from home (able to exercise more, been eating like 95% vegan, no longer around a bunch of bad sweets at work), but several of my IH shirts are a bit baggier on me now.
I dunno, my days of tight fitting clothes are over — I do like a little more room to breathe now — but I could easily lose an inch off of the P2P on this.

I had a medium that was slightly too big for me, namely in the chest and length.
I washed at 60c on 400rpm. I (annoyingly) did not take pre and post dims but I got what I needed in terms of loss in the chest ~0.5"
Your mileage may vary in terms of winding up a higher temp or spin!

Cool, thank you! You think a hot soak in the tub would give me less? Would be awesome if so — I feel like I have more control over a soak. Hey, only one way to find out, I guess…

Cool, thanks so much, man! I think the main reason I like to tub soak or wash is that I've ended up with quite a few of the aforementioned weird marks when I use the washer. I think it's just because it tumbles stuff around and a lot of times fabric will get crumpled up in weird ways and can cause a bit of odd looking color loss (I know this is probably a little different than the white marks you were talking about, but nonetheless a similar concern). Plus my washer SUCKS. Don't think I'll be taking Consumer Reports' advice again
The amount of shrinkage you got sounds good, though. I'm gonna try for a hot soak soon and see what I get. I'll try to remember to measure before and after.

Love my IHSH-218.
The fades are coming, but very slow.
12 Months old, 3-4 wears a week…
Pics are coming - I´m waiting for daylight -
ETA on a restock in L/XL for this shirt? Will probably treat myself over Xmas and have a few things in mind, this being top of the list. If restock not expected anytime soon I will move down to item two and pick this up at later date.
Also, the description says this shirt will fade slowly and develop profound character. It’d be great to see any examples of this “profound character” as I’m generally a sucker for anything that progresses slowly…

Instantly one of my top 3 shirts.That shirt looks really solid on you @xtcclassic
I basically treat all of my non-IH clothes like that one crazy ex that I ghosted.
