IHSH-235-OLV - 13oz Military Serge Western Shirt - Olive

[flannel slut]

I’ve had this one for a little over a year and have washed 3 maybe 4 times w woolite (a color safe detergent) and hang dried in the bathroom. On the last wash I picked up a some undesired yellowing only around the the top collar button area and the inner side of one sleeve.


I had saw the collar first and thought it was neck stains but I’ve only ever had this happen towards the back/tag side of a collar and this discoloring is in the front. Then I saw it much more pronounced along the inner sleeve. Anyone have this happen to any of their serge fabric? Looking to avoid this happening in other areas and if anyone has a haunch to the cause. Remedies/suggestions welcomed as well! I’m about to soak and scrub but wanted to consult the forum first

That almost looks like some kind of chemical reaction.

[flannel slut]

It really does. If the scrub doesn’t pull anything out, I might go for a light bleach soak

I have it on the collar as well. Doesn't bother me because you can't see it,but it is kind of strange

[jischwar]

I have a couple spots on my left shoulder and thought it was from my toddler's snot, but looks exactly like what you have here.

[flannel slut]

I’d leave it be if was only around the collar but the sleeve is pushing me towards a scrub. I’ll post back on how I make out when I do.

[jischwar]

@flannel-slut definitely keep us updated

[flannel slut]

@jischwar gave it a good scrub and machine washed/dried. I’m happy with the results and plan on abusing some more in the future.

[jischwar]

@flannel-slut the contrast is not as pronounced now. Hopefully will continue to fade out as the rest of the shirt does

[flannel slut]

@jischwar Totally has. Unfortunately, it will need to be pulled out of the office wear rotation but truly liking the weathered look more. I'll post another pic a few months down the road if there is anymore noticeable change.

Backed in to some flashing on my house - ouch!

Thankfully, Rain at Indigo Proof accepted it and I really can’t wait to see the “after” - !!

[indigostiff]

And after…

Loving the fabric and fit. I sized it so it fit loose enough to serve as an overshirt. Can't wait to put some more wears in.

[indigostiff]

@Louisclsu1 Looking good - washed 1x?

[tody]

@Louisclsu1 The fit looks spot on - shoulders are where they belong, and the sleeves are perfect in length.

[Louisclsu1]

@indigostiff Thanks! I picked it up gently used, so can't speak to prior history. Once washed since I acquired it, with a handful of wears.

@tody Thanks! At 6'3 with long limbs, IH fits generally work well for me.

Re-stock coming anytime soon?

When I first heard about the Iron Heart End of Season Sale, I was hoping this one would somehow release prior. I realized it wouldn't, and I found a used one on Grailed in my size that looked pretty much unworn. I offered $240 but received no reply. I just saw the guy sold it to somebody else for $186! Now I'm pissed at some internet stranger.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing this restock.

@K1_0 It's worth waiting for. I have the shirt in olive and grey, the fabric is just the right balance between feeling sturdy but still being soft. You'll love it!
