Big pimpin! Looks fantastic @vaquero357

..thanks @RoxRocks86! My first OD item too, for some reason I've been steering clear of that 'chemical warfare', but I'm happy with this. Now for the break-in process!

5 months in. Need to wear more. So soft. So tuff. The OD, and the contrast thread, and what the OD does to the snaps 

[68degreesorless]

The OD’d snaps match the thread well. Makes the shirt also look great when worn unbuttoned.

…..what the OD does to the snaps 

Oh yeah…..

Starting to fade nice

Building stripy shades , why ?

Looks like you have some creases from where the sleeve is gathered at the cuff. Did you machine wash? I have similar creases set into my moleskin cpo from the spin cycle. They will fade into the back ground in time. You can iron your sleeves to discourage them from fading further into that pattern.

I would soak before washing, turn inside out and don't spin…..

I only ever soak before washing denim when they first arrive – that first soak.  Is there a benefit to soaking before washing long after?

[sabergirl]

It’s to ensure unwanted fade lines from creasing in the washer. That happens less if it’s wet through first.

I wanted the 33od because I thought it would get better with time. Living in it while it does has become a great joy.

Beautifully put. The best thing about IH OD is that is is so usable, it gets worn a lot.

Either 3rd or 4th wash, not sure
