Yeah. It always seems a little strange to me. Like the seat of my jeans was pretty faded. Then I washed, they now seem darker. The jeans are only 5 months in. Only the second wash. Wondering if loose indigo finds its way back to the lighter parts of the fabric. I’ll try and post some pics. Maybe I’m nuts.

I just picked up the IH-777S-142od last week in a size 31. I know that the overdyed means all the shrinkage has already taken place. I'm going to pick up IH-777S-142bb next. Should I size up one to a 32 since there will be some shrinkage after the first wash with those or stick to the same size 31?

Hi there, after reading about UHF shrinkage I was wondering if this fit would work well after washing? Sizing up to a medium gets baggy around my back, like a billowing sail and it's a bit long on body. I'm super skinny in real life with slightly long arms.

Personally, I think you'll be fine.
I've had minimal shrinkage from mine with 30c washes and even if you had more drastic results, I don't think you'd be at any detriment fit-wise.

@Mizmazzle I can’t really see the effect you mentioned in your pics but I have noticed something similar in areas where the denim creases (not flat areas like the seat). I have always assumed it’s because the denim lies flat after washing so you only see colour variation without the added effect of the light hitting the hills and valleys in the denim at different angles pre-wash. This doesn’t really explain your observations. Maybe the surface fibres sit differently after washing?

@Mizmazzle I do see what you mean but that’s more fades in 5 months than I get in 5 years so quit complaining.
@IHOI That fit looks pretty good to me. If the chest fits well, the shoulder seems are right at the edge and the sleeves are right at the wrist I’d say you nailed it. You could get away with a small but then those measurements might be too small for you. If you’re very tall and skinny I’d think you did the best you could making the medium work for you.

Brilliant thank you! I'll just be careful on the first wash and see how it goes

I’m letting my M65 go because it’s a little tight in the biceps and it’s a little long for my torso aesthetically (in my head). What’s a good in between jacket? My Type 3 is very fitted so it’s a solo piece, I can kinda squeeze a UHF in there. And Texas has been too warm the last few weeks for my N1.
I would prefer IH but I’m open to other brands. I have a Freenote waxed Rider I’m selling on eBay because it’s just so boxy on me, I prefer a more tailored look. I really like Mister Freedoms take on Pea Coats, but they don’t have any in my size. Just an idea of what I like aesthetically.
Thanks!

May not be tailored enough for you but I bought a beautiful navy moleskin chore coat from Drakes. Also tried on their denim one, which was very very nice but on the grounds that I already had a denim IH one I did not get it.

hi all, looking for a black shirt in western cut, cotton, and i've seen a lot of beautifully faded ones, but this time i'm interested if someone can recommend the one that will fade the least, slow fading one. thanks!

Chore coats are a little boxy for me, plus hand warmers are a must. Thank you though!

Is their a timeline for when specific fall products will be released yet? I’m not seeing it anywhere.
