@DrPat thanks!
Just asking for ease and cost of returning/exchanges

Hey! Like these. Any US stockists?

Looks great! Pimpable snaps? Might prefer black or something dark. Thank you

Looks great  
Can be pimped?

The shirt is awesome. A bit looser than expected. Any one have experience with these shrinking in the wash or dry? I'd be happy with a size down but the shipping overseas seems a bit much to get a smaller T shirt. Anyone stateside want to trade a Medium for my Large?

@zhivago thank you ! this excellent info. and good news for me.

curious if anyone has seen the results when this shirts gets a wash or a soak? Or even a wash and dry? My XXL is a bit loose as I have lost 20 dang lbs since winter.
Thanks in advance good folks.

Looks amazing! This one get a wash or soak? Or is that pure wear?

Anyone have good intel on how these react to wash (or even wash and dry)? I am between sizes on this one. 5'8" w  broad chest/shoulder. The XXL is good in the chest but long in the sleeve. And with (to my eye) slightly wider shoulder measurements listed that will potentially lead to even more arm length. .. so, yeah, how much will this shirt shrink?

Hi everyone - IH crew.  I am sure it can be found somewhere but I have not stumbled upon it yet. Can some one or any of you good people describe the differences with the 22oz Selvedge Denim Overdyed Indigo VS this 19oz Left-Hand OD Denim in terms or texture, feel, etc, and fading properties?

@Kasi  yes I can. I have had two legs of the tour with the IH-526j-19L-OD and I own the IH-526-22OD.

The 22oz has is a heavy matte black to start with. Very inky. It has a smooth even hand like the source denim does, except the OD makes it more so as it tightens the weave considerably. It fades very nicely, noticable patterns appearing after only a few wears. It is heavy but not too stiff and softens very quickly. It is early days on mine yet but it looks like it will go from black to indigo to grey/white, retaining a little of each.

The 19oz has a more rugged, crosshatch weave pattern, and starts off stiff. It does soften nicely but takes a while. It fades witj great contrast but doesn’t retain as much indigo, seeming to go from black, quite quickly to white in high abrasion areas.

Obviously the fit is different between the two but seeing as you didn’t ask, I guess you know that.

thanks so much!  - now I want both!

any thought on these coming back - a second iteration w side pockets?
Thanks!

Lovely. Are there approx drop dates somewhere? Thanks.

Is this still available? If it fits - if definitely be interested

@Giles:

Maybe this has gone unnoticed, but I simply cant believe this has not been bought.  It is well up there with some of the best things we will have released this year.  It's my size, so if no one bothers nabbing it, I'll more than happily put it on my back…..

If I may‐ what is the approx release date for these?
Also - when might I get a look at measurements?

These look to be rather wonderful. Aside from weight and tonal stitching in what other ways will these differ from the IH-666SII ?
Texture and weave seem different than other IHs I own.
Thanks in advance!

@Alex_24:

In my experience, washing up to 40 degrees Celsius and hanging to dry will not change the size at all.

However, a run through the dryer will shrink them in all dimensions, including the length. This I discovered by one of mine being thrown in the dryer by accident. There’s a reason why the washing instructions label has the dryer machine picture crossed-through. Not recommended, but if you want to shrink them, the machine dryer will shrink them.

Personally, I would NOT wash them over 40 degrees Celsius… too difficult to say how much they would shrink if you did.

If you do decide to dry them in the machine, go with very low heat first and take them out still damp to see if that gives the right amount of shrink...

...or just enjoy the roomier, breezier fit [emoji6]

Thanks!! This is the kinda reply I was looking for.  I will try a low heat dry to see what happens. I have 2 XLs so it will be interesting to only wash and dry one of them. I'll keep you posted.

These finally came out of the package.  The XL is just a bit bigger/looser than I would have expected. Maybe quarantine is wasting me away…
has any one run these through a wash and dry and gotten a little bit of tightening up?
Thanks!

Can anybody tell me how much stretch to expect in the waist in these?
