IHSH-27 - 12oz Selvedge Denim Western Shirt

[Giles]

Jestre, funnily enough, that is exactly what happened to me.  The hot soak just did not take out enough shrinkage, so I bashed it through a hot wash - that worked.  I got minimal (if any) indigo loss through the washer, you?  G

@hectic:

Good fit, looks sharp. How tall are you please Jestre?

I'm about 5'9".

The water turned light blue, and the shirt seems to have retained its nice & dark indigo swimmingly.

Good fit Jestre. That's exactly what I'm looking for myself. I'm also 5'9". My XL is somewhere over the Indian Ocean right now. Can't wait to get it.

Excellent shirt man.
Hope this one will be here to stay.  I think a denim western shirt needs to be a permanent addition to the IH roster…
Also gives me more time to save up.

Is this going to run out/ if so, will it be re-run? I'm loving the 16 but wouldn't mind keeping the 27 in the vault if it's never going to be seen again..

[Giles]

It'll be permanent, but we may have some sizes unavailable for periods whilst I wait for there to be enough to justify the re-run….G

[Jestre]

So I've been wearing this for small periods of time over the past few days…. and my impressions so far are:  this is quickly becoming my favorite piece of IH gear.  The fit is spot on, the denim is amazing, the weight is perfect.  Highly recommended!

[Giles]

Jestre, I'm loving mine too.  Rotating it between that and an IHSH-16ss depending on the temperature….G

Post hot soak and wash. Water went a light blue. Denim feels fantastic.

Mostly @ G: I am quite intrigued by the raw length of this shirt (given my height), how much is lost off the length post-wash, as an approx percentage please?

[Giles]

Hectic,  I have been wearing my XL for a month now, and it has had 3 x 30 degree C washes.  I'm loving the indications of great evo, one of the reasons I chose to do this is raw denim:

Before any washing the length of an XL is 31".  This one now measures 30".

Nice cuff evo.

Thanks, might try the XXXL on that basis.

Roping looks great!!!

[Jestre]

Worn for about 1-2 months, first hot wash after initial soak.  Pics are similar to Giles' but I figured you can't go wrong with more 

[Giles]

Looking great Jestre - mine needs another wash,  I can't bear sitting next to myself…................

[Jestre]

I'm a bit obsessed with this shirt.  Can't believe people have been sitting on this one.

When I get some money, this shirt will be the first one I will buy.  I have zero denim shirts, and I want to start off right with this one!  Great pics btw!

One of the nice side effects of IH meetups is that you get to see other people trying on shirts and such.
I have to tell you, Tripleterror in the 27 - sharp….

[Tripleterror]

I do hope your right Beats, I just bought one
