@Rusted I still remember your initial fit picture with this shirt.  That wasn't even that long ago!  Beautiful progression, sir!

Thank you! It feels like aaaages ago now, but isn’t really. It’s such a lovely shirt to wear.

Yes great work looks amazing
How many wears approx?

Thanks I imagine it to be around the 400/500 mark.

It’s been a little while since anyone posted so I thought I’d share a quick update. I’m at around 2/3 soaks and 4 washes. I feel like the character of the shirt is really coming into it’s own and that all of the time spent wearing this bad boy is paying off now. I imagine another winter and it’ll be close to perfect!

Thanks guys  I'll try and get some better pics at some point soon.

So I finally gave in and gave mine its first wash yesterday after around 6 months of wear. It feels like it's shrunk maybe 1/2 a size which for me is no bad thing as I prefer my shirts to look fitted. Noticeable across the chest when layering. Anyway, I'm happy with how it looks and feels (it's a bit softer yay!) The contrasting blues are really starting to pop.

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.

@neph93 I seem to get better fades on my shirts and jackets than I do on my jeans. Strange, but I'll take it!

Thanks @Baba-san it's taken some time to achieve, but I think the results make it worthwhile. I'm interested to see how it looks after a good wash.

A bit more detail on the arms. With flash and without. Please forgive hopeless camera skills  ::)
