Cool, thanks so much, man! I think the main reason I like to tub soak or wash is that I've ended up with quite a few of the aforementioned weird marks when I use the washer. I think it's just because it tumbles stuff around and a lot of times fabric will get crumpled up in weird ways and can cause a bit of odd looking color loss (I know this is probably a little different than the white marks you were talking about, but nonetheless a similar concern). Plus my washer SUCKS. Don't think I'll be taking Consumer Reports' advice again
The amount of shrinkage you got sounds good, though. I'm gonna try for a hot soak soon and see what I get. I'll try to remember to measure before and after.

Love my IHSH-218.
The fades are coming, but very slow.
12 Months old, 3-4 wears a week…
Pics are coming - I´m waiting for daylight -
ETA on a restock in L/XL for this shirt? Will probably treat myself over Xmas and have a few things in mind, this being top of the list. If restock not expected anytime soon I will move down to item two and pick this up at later date.
Also, the description says this shirt will fade slowly and develop profound character. It’d be great to see any examples of this “profound character” as I’m generally a sucker for anything that progresses slowly…

I basically treat all of my non-IH clothes like that one crazy ex that I ghosted.

For the record, it's February 26th, which makes it 218 Day 'round here. Johnny was born this day 1932. And if that's not cool enough–-how could that be not enough?---Johnny shares his birthday with Fats Domino and Mitch Ryder. Get out your Detroit wheels and Johnny on, Iron Hearts.

This Johnny Cash shirt or a black heavyweight kersey in black? And why? Both look great, one heavier than the other. But what else am I missing.
They are very different fabrics. The JC is fairly stiff shirting denim, that will break in with time. It has a flat smooth hand and will develop meaningful creases at the elbows. The kersey, despite its weight is a very soft, pliable material with a little stretch. It has diagonal ribs in it, almost like corduroy. It feels almost luxurious, while the JC is more rugged.
Without checking the compare function you may also find sizing slightly different. If memory serves, the JC is a little longer in the arms and body.
Both are glorious, but the Kersey fabric is a personal favourite.
