Freewheelers and Co.

I didn't do any measurements. I think the fabric might have a slightly softer hand, and the satin taping may have a few more ripples from the asymmetrical shrinkage of the different thread materials, and the buttonholes are a bit tighter, but ultimately it's the same shirt, just a trimmer fit through the body and slightly less length. I'll be wearing it tomorrow and will post a fitpic.
Incidentally, if anyone ever wants to experiment with shrinking wool, you could probably ease into it a bit more than I did with a spray bottle and a drier.

I'm glad it shrank up for you! I am very curious what the length measurement is now.
-
I'll measure. Not a ton different, still a long shirt, but the body cinched in perfectly.

Post hot soak and dry CPO:

I still have no clue how that fits you… We're damn similar height and weight and my only fw shirt is a 15!
-
Yeah I am too @grandmasterben I usually am a 16.5, this is a full size up, and by the way Japanese. It's just kind of a weird cut and then I abused it.
Pants are the Swedish serge cargos Iron Hearts. They're terrific.
-
They're awesome. The Baker pants dropping soon are made out of the same fabric–it's a doozy. It really evos with a lot of character. As far as functional pants go, these are tops. They afford a wide range of movement and the way the pockets are designed is really nice.
-
Hmm, maybe I should have kept the 17.5. Really glad it worked out though. My 17 should be here this week.
-
My 17 arrived today and is perfect. Pictures soon. I love this shirt!
-
I'm getting more and more into this brand (the Redwood Hunting Jacket
). I just ordered an olive full zip sweatshirt from Fuji at The Wild One. -
@Chiba J. That button
Handled some FW goods yesterday and got me some nice shirts, i also tried on the CPO, its a beautiful CPO with all the authentic details. Tags are killer too. Unfortunately i was not happy with the fit on me and was kinda between sizes. Soaking wouldnt be an option for me in this case.
Meanwhile i give you some Stifel love
-
The cpo looks awesome…except it also looks long as shit! No go for me. Shame...
-
Yes its gorgeous in real life even more. The length isnt really a prob imo if you look at how the CPO is worn as an overshirt. think its a good length and i wasnt feeling it being too long when worn tbh but that depends of course on individual feelings too
My problems were more in the difference between 15 and 16 where 15 fitted me too slim for the way i want to wear a CPO and 16 looking bit too baggy in arms even when worn with a usual shirt under it. But again this shirt is killer
