IHSH-27 - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt

[Max Power]

Yeah, I know, but I think I've got so much room in the 08, that it's doable.

I own the 08 and the 27 shirts and also bought my 27 a size smaller, love the fit of both.

Are there any washing standards with this shirt, by that I mean how long to go between washes? With jeans its easy to go months without a wash, but shirts seem to smell a lot sooner. I've worn mine for a about a week as much as I can and can't imagine wearing it in public after a couple of weeks without washing it.

If it smells, wash it.  If its dirty, wash it.  It's a shirt. . . not a science experiment

Thanks. That's what I wanted to hear

^same thoughts here…should be good to go with your large!
even if you can't fit a hoodie under it, but i guess you're cool with that

If it just smells stick it in the freezer, that'll kill the bacteria that's making it smell.
I've got a 27 and haven't washed it yet, just soaked it.
Gonna wait 6 months 'till I wash it.

Thanks, I'll do that. It just seemed that if I washed it every time it stunk, then I'd be washing it after every few wears in the summer and it might not fade well.

Sooo, I'm so happy to get my shirt today. Kudos and thanks to Giles for super fast shipping and for adding the fantastic stickers! The fitpics turned out sh*t, but they're good enough to hear your opinion. I love the (pre-soak) fit and would keep it…

But one thing's gotta be clear IHSH27 vs. IHSH 08 = Me vs. Denim Sailor, if you know what I mean... This ones much lighter and perfect for spring. Decent daylight pics will follow....

And a little taster of what is to come:

[madmonday]

that shirt is looking great G$.

[Max Power]

^^ beautiful. I love how the selvage peeks out. I take beatle's "Bam" as sign to keep that shirt, right?

[Beatle]

hell yes - were you thinking about sending it back ???????????????????????????///

[Max Power]

No, of course not. Just asking because I sized down and didn't soak yet. How could I let go of this beauty?

[Beatle]

sleeves are long enough, extra room around the waist - in other words - will be perfect after hot soak

[Max Power]

Thanks. That's what I wanted to hear. I'll fall aslepp smiling tonight…

MP - gotta warn you (and not at all trying to change your mind, I prefer this shirt with a slim fit)

even with a hot soak, don't be surprised when the shirt shrinks more after a machine wash, even if that's a cold or lukewarm wash

I think G had the same experience I did. I gave mine a good hot soak when I first got it and it shrank a little. After about 2 months I threw mine in the washer cold and it shrank a good bit more, which I'm happy about.

I think G had said something to the effect of this denim takes some agitation to get all the shrink out and that would be my experience.

A super shirt, enjoy.

[jacoavlu]

Mine started to whisper a little today

[Finn666]

from what i can see, it's a great to perfect fit there max…

will be even better after soak imo! looking forward to tomorrows pics!

[Max Power]

Thanks fellas. I absolutely love it

Here's some new pics:
