IHSH-246-NIN - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt – Natural Indigo

[joephoto]

Received mine and I’m blown away. Thanks guys for sorting me out.

Despite the warm weather today, I took the right decision and pulled this indigo mo fo out of the wardrobe, makes me smile every time I do. Glad I swayed towards *edit the 'M', as it offers just the right amount of air movement.

Does anybody pimped it with copper snaps ?

[Giles]

Yep…..

[GC]

Now we're talking, that looks ace! Did I read somewhere the copper snaps are possibly becoming extinct?

[Giles]

Nope, the copper ones are still available (and should be for ever), it's the brass ones that are no more…..

[GC]

Thats it, thanks for clarifying @Giles

[Daniel San]

Wow that looks awesome
Just pulled the trigger !!

Every time I see a new post on this beauty of a shirt it hurts me a little that I wasn't in time to get hold of an XS… is there any chance at all of a restock in that size @Giles?

Not in the foreseeable future I am afraid @Lowlander

[Alex]

Actually @Lowlander we may have tracked one down. Will let you know

[Lowlander]

That would be amazing! Thanks, Alex. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Just over a month ago, I lamented having missed out on this great shirt. @Alex assured me that a restock in my size was unlikely. Then, he somehow worked his magic, tracked one down in Japan (?) after all, and so here I am, happy as can be:

One more reason for me to love Iron Heart (and this forum)! And a big, big thank you to @Alex!

The fit is pretty good, I think, especially the top half. Bottom half still a bit long and a bit billowy. Any advice out there? Should I just I wear it a lot and it will drape better after a while, or give it a good hot soak in the tub to get out the remaining shrinkage for a more tailored fit? (I'm inclined toward the latter).

Here's a silly outtake - but it shows off the shirt quite nicely:

[Alex]

Nice! Glad we could make it happen for you.

@Lowlander

That’s a good fit.

I would give it a hot soak or wash to get the shrinkage out.
The shirt will mould to you your body with wear.

LIMITED RESTOCK

A silly question may be - How does this natural indigo compare with 33 when it comes to contrast fading. From the comparison pic in the first page of this thread I can see that the 33 is much darker and hence has the potential to show heavy contrast fades, so in this regard how does this NIN compare? I'm in a dilemma as I like the sizing on this one and I like the darker color on the 33. For me sizing trumps everything else! So I'm more leaning towards this one!

[Lowlander]

I can't speak on the 33, as I also got this one because the measurements worked better for me. On the basis of my still relatively brief experience with this shirt (some 30-40 wears I'm guessing), I would say that this shirt seems like a slow fader, and I think the contrast will be fairly low. The color of the natural indigo is something else, though! I personally wouldn't mind if it retains that bright blue color for a long time!

@Lowlander Thanks for the swift reply!

It is exactly for the measurements that I'm also inclined to this shirt!
