A little up date here. I had to give mine it’s first wash as it was beginning to feel a little gross on the inside. Here’s a couple of pics. Such a fucker to photograph as it’s so high contrast.

Okay so here’s my two month update. Tried taking pics in the middle of the day earlier, which didn’t come out that great. Will try to do some better ones over the weekend. But here’s some for now. @WhiskeySandwich

@Oaktavia okay so I had a moment and as I’m always wearing this thing I took a couple of pics. As you can see I rock it fitted.

@WhiskeySandwich whiskey my man. This is where I’m at. This is after 1 months wear everyday, I don’t have an especially active job so I’m making up for that with never taking it off. Following Filthy’s Mike advice for honeycombs on jeans I’ve applied that to the short sleeves - spraying the arms with water to help the creases settle in more…

@WhiskeySandwich For sure mate! I feel like I don't get people who aren't obsessed with something. I feel like obsession/passion is what life is all about. I'd rather insanely into a few things, than mildly interested in many...

This might sound a little mad but i'd love a blue/pink UHF pattern.

@T4920 Most people say "oh that's really nice, is that cord?" And I'm like no "it's Kersey" and then bore them for 2 minutes about it's history haha!

RE: Watches - another OCD problem
I have no idea how I didn't find this thread earlier... In addition to my IH addiction watches are a real problem....
I started off with a JLC Home time, which I loved, especially as I didn't want my first watch to be a Rolex, which I felt I'd be judged for... But quickly I realized it was a little to dressy for my jeans and t-shirt lifestyle.

How about a waxed CPO. Either canvas or denim.

@WhiskeySandwich Sick! Mine arrives tomo! How long did you soak it for? And how warm? I was going to do the same to get out the small amount of shrinkage.

As a general update on this BEAST of a shirt, I had the snaps changed to the black HD western snaps (it's been my dream for a while to have a black - ultimately faded to fuck - CPO/western combo). Soaking it first to set it to your body is genius @WhiskeySandwich but it also had two additional benefits for me:
1 - the shirt had some strong creases on the sleeves from shipping which disappeared after the soak. I'm sure they would've gone through general wear over time but personally I don't like my shirts looking like they've just come back from the dry cleaner... So this was a massive plus.
2 - the western snaps are smaller and leave a small indent or circle around where the original larger copper snap sat. It wasn't a massive deal, but the lads at IHUK didn't know how it would go because the fabric is new. I can report that after the soak, I can't see the indents at all. It was like magic.
STOKED to wear this for many years.

@WhiskeySandwich Copy that. I followed your/this method with the shirt so far, just wondered if they needed resetting when wet? But now reading this, it's just occurred to me that I could potentially mess up my creases by wearing it wet or shift them a little. I'll follow this guide and shake them back to life when dry. (although still holding out before the first wash)
Really appreciate the time you've taken to answer mate!

@WhiskeySandwich Thanks mate! Yeah, I start talking about denim to friends and their eyes start to glaze over haha!

RE: IHSH-292-IND - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo
@HalfPastNever Well you're in luck I sent it back yesterday.... So you can get it when they restock it. Although you should've checked the buying and selling section this week, as I was selling it for under retail as I didn't really want the store credit.

@WhiskeySandwich Also how's the softness? It feels like mine is gradually loosening up. Does it still get harder after the wash?
