      @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

            The HBT Appaloosa - really pleased with this one…. fabric is not so heavy and it drapes real nice. Oki Topsiders on the bottom.  Vest is from Rising Sun.

                  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.

                    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.

                      I may have gone overboard. I just ordered the garrison pants too. I think the wife will make them a 40th birthday present!

                        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

                            @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!

                                          Garrison pants arrived.  REALLY liking these - fabric and the cut.  Note they are higher-than-average waisted, so this may turn some prospective buyers off.  The measurements showed a pretty narrow thigh which I was a bit worried about, but I'm not finding it to be an issue at all.  Granted this is pre-soak so everything will snug up some.  Also shown is the Calvary twill map shirt which I use as a light jacket in the Fall/Spring.
