IHSH-397-IND - 21oz Sashiko Work Shirt - Indigo

[Mizmazzle]

@Ikeaparty such a sweet shirt. This fabric is like nothing else!

[TENDREL]

@Ikeaparty Oh hell yeah!!!! looks great!

Just put a XXL of the Sashiko Work Shirt on the site if anyone is still looking. This is the last one for real!!!!

Just gets better each time I wear it, love this thing. I've settled into a daily wear with the broken twill ODB and I think they'll fade together nicely...

[sabergirl]

Mine’s a large @MSav32323. I’ve also decided to keep it as I prefer a cpo! Have you created a wtb thread? Mods will shut you down for soliciting in product threads.

[MSav32323]

@sabergirl I don't blame you for that decision one bit! I have created a post yeah, clearly I'm on a bit of a mad hunt... But thanks for the heads up on that, I'm very new and still learning the nuances here. I'll remove the post. Thanks and enjoy that 389!

She made our Christmas card! Atop Snowbird.

@indigostiff the family resemblance is uncanny!!!

I was off this week for fall break. Upped my wear on this one to NONSTOP all week. Hiking, fishing, couple house projects, pajama duty…
Giving it an air out day today.

@Mizmazzle super cool man! Sashiko is good for a PJ shirt.

5 weeks of daily wear, she be a stubborn beastie...

First wash tonight I reckon, let's loosen up some of that indigo!

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 hell yeah man. Excited to see the results.

I agree with the stubborn beast description. Only the lightest signs of fading on mine still.

@T4920 please post a first wash measurement update! Very nervous about how much shrinkage it might get..

[T4920]

@americanathreads already in the machine, will report on how it feels size wise though .. mine was literally perfect in every dimension, so if it's shrunken at all I should be able to tell!

Washing on 30c, low spin.

[T4920]

no marbling or weird lines, that's a win! Will turn up the heating to get it semi-dry, then sleep in it and report back tomorrow morning

[Mizmazzle]

Oh man! This is an exiting experiment indeed!
I read that the Ship John Sashiko became fuller after a wash. Thicker and more "alive." Wondering if the IH will react at all the same?

[T4920]

Good news, no shrinkage!

Forum isn't letting me post pics right now, but it certainly looks and feels a little different.

[Tago Mago]

I gave mine a wash at 30°C and 600rpm. Will measure when it’s dry (I even measured beforehand @ARNC) and report back
