@deanclean love to see post-soak pics.
-
@FurattoHeddo ill be soaking it today and hopefully get pictures up by this weekend. A freedom hating job gets in the way sometimes
for yesterday and today I have just been wearing it raw out of the box because I really like the stiff twill feel (im sure there are plenty of jokes in there somewhere) More pictures to come.

Got some post soak pictures of garrison. I soaked for 10 minutes, hung for 30 minutes, then wore it wet while I cleaned the garage and took back my empties. Here is the result.
-
Nice! Great score @deanclean
-
Post soak it looks great! I'd be interested to know how before and after measurements. Looks like a good amount of shrinkage (that's what she said).
-
@deanclean - yes I saw the pre-soak and thanks for the post-soak pics - looks like it snugged up nicely….....
-
@BloodnThunder according to the MF website the length was to shrink by 3" everything else about an inch or less. I kind of thought it would shrink more so thats why i didnt soak it for too long and wore it while it dried so it would sort of stretch again and fit my body. The sleeves didnt necessarily shrink in length, but just the wrinkling of the material in arms as you bend them kind of bunches them up a bit. But all that said, after the whole process was done I think it ended up perfect. Wearing while it dried I think is the key. Later

very nice! I'm not too sold on the shirt for myself but the garrison jeans will definitely be on my legs soon.
oh and I'm counting down the seconds until the release of the midnight peacoat. i had the first release but it was massively oversized so i sold it after awhile
-
Shirt looks nice, wear it in good health!
-
@blugrass I just got that Appaloosa too. It's real nice eh?
-
First run of Appaloosa had one of the most perfect denims ever; the Lot A, but unfortunately sizing was so fucked with those, especially in bigger sizes, I ordered one first second I could and hadn't sold the very next day.
-
I may have gone overboard. I just ordered the garrison pants too. I think the wife will make them a 40th birthday present!
-
you mean the sizing didn't match what it said on the site, or the sizing was just goofy but correctly portrayed?? I saw the pic and it does look like a very handsome fabric.
When it got up to the bigger sizes (I needed a XXL since it ran a size small and then shrank) the length was INSANELY long, the gussets cut way too high, the chest too big but waist too narrow
-
Anybody out there have a Tripper? It's high on the want list.
-
@Anesthetist I have the tripper type II, the one with the white straps and the stripe lining. It's great! Nice size, convenient pockets, pretty sturdy…I really wanted the type III with the green straps and camo lining but by the time I finally decided to get it it was already sold out.
Also, just got the indigo garrison shirt yesterday, new favorite shirt. Best MF release in a while in my opinion. The fit is perfect, really cool pattern and killer fabric. I usually wear medium in MF sportsman shirts, went with a large in the garrison shirt. Measurements on MF site were accurate for pre and post shrinkage.

@deanclean Man overboard!!!!! Help!!!!! (actually I bought the green Garrisons too
). Almost everything I buy is blue and my wife can't tell the difference - but I might have to explain this one.[url=http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10904]@Akuma no uta That sucks - I'm a true XXL and so far (knock wood) I've had good luck with MF. But any time you buy stuff in raw fabrics, something unexpected can be expected some time.
@Anesthetist I don't know what the "tripper" is but I'm pretty sure I don't have it
- update: I found it - cool bag. really nice!
