Indigofera

I have owned many of their shirts and have never had any issues. They are always very well made. Apparently this particular snap has been giving them problems. Before I shipped the shirt out this morning, I was actually able to pry another snap off with my fingernail very easily.
I do not even think it is an issue of the snaps not being pressed down hard enough. I think it is a quality issue with the snap itself. The metal, although it looks like brass, seems very soft.
I asked them to replace all of the snaps just to be safe.

Fredrik at Indigofera went above and beyond. He replaced the snaps, and when I opened the package I realized there were a few extras in there that I did not even know about until they hit the bathroom floor when I pulled it out.
A couple stickers, a couple patches, and a bandanna.
None of that was expected, but it is definitely appreciated

Scored a khaki twill Slowhand haori on vinted last night for a good price. Been wanting one for a while, but always found it a bit out of my comfort zone. But for a hundred European pesos I'm willing to take a punt. Supposedly nearly new too. I really hope it's the same twill fabric they use on their Alamo shirts, that has just the softest and most comfortable feel ever. I just can't abide by the boxy fit of the Alamo otherwise I would have added a few to the rotation already

Received the Slowhand haori today. It's unfortunately not the same twill as the Alamo. But still a very nice fabric. Construction is absolutely impeccable. Just the drape is a bit odd. I can't tell if it's too small in the shoulders... Hard to explain really. If my shoulders are where they naturally want to be in the shirt, it pulls open at the bottom a bit. If I pull the shirt a bit down in the back so that my shoulders sit more "forward", it doesn't open in the front but it's standing a bit off from my neck. It's got something like a raglan sleeve so there's lots of place for the shoulder to move around..
I love the idea of this shirt, just not sure I love it on me. I have to see if it drapes differently after some wear. It's basically new even though I picked it up second hand
