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

[T4920]

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

Damn looking so sick. Everytime see a new post on this thread. I gotta admit def bummed at myself for not buying one at selfedge, day after they came out. I tried it on, fit/felt great and decided hold off for few untill payday etc but sold out less than week later. “Way she goes”

[T4920]

Brand new vs 5 weeks of wear and a wash.

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 looks to have lightened up a bit. Did the fabric feel change much?

[pechelman]

Looks like the sleeves shrunk a bit too.

[T4920]

@pechelman think it's more to do with the inner elbow creases having settled in in the after photo. Any shrinkage is negligible, fit feels the same as before.

This is the shirt the rest of your shirts hate lol. I'm wearing mine to worship in the am. I have slightly ruined a nice white t I've been wearing under it. Indigo transfer only at the pits lol. I bleached it but no cheddar. Permanent undershirt now. No biggie

[americanathreads]

As fate would have it, I unexpectedly found an XL in store this weekend, and it fit perfectly. No tightness in the shoulders and a tiny bit more breathing room. While the Large looks amazing, the XL is a lot more comfortable. A learning experience with thicker, denser fabrics to go up when in between sizes. This is definitely the shirt of the year and it’s not close.

XL vs L

@americanathreads yeah man. Looks like a great fit! Congrats on finding one that works for ya.

@Mizmazzle thanks man! Looks like you’re wearing yours well.
