If you soak them be careful.. they bled dark red like crazy… took about 20 minutes scrubbing the sink to hide the evidence from the wife!

Pre-soak?
I read that these will be very large. You wear an XL from many other brands right? -
Thanks everybody!
@ShootThePier:Pre-soak?
I read that these will be very large. You wear an XL from many other brands right?This was pre-soak, the denim shrank down quite a lot. I'm usually a XXL in most IH shirts (western and work).

Updated pics? @Broark ?

Sorry for the lack of an update, had some family in town so I've been away from the forums.
Also haven't taken updated photos because I haven't taken the shirt off! Been wearing it for the last couple days.
Come Friday or so I'll take some updated pictures. It's a really great shirt. -
I second @Broark, this is an absolutely beautiful shirt.
I know the IH motto is Over-engineering, which is exactly what Roy does for each of his garments. Most of my recent clothing purchases have been IH, but I couldn't pass this one up.
Cone Mills did a great job on the weave, their signature super clean loomstate 2x1. The hem stitched button placket is out of this world and has a reinforced selvedge detail. I haven't seen hem stitching done before other than on my Grandmas old doiley's. It looks great on denim, curious to see how if affects durability though. Double sewn button holes and buttons.
Reinforcing and little details everywhere, this is a statement of love. I wonder how long it took Roy to do each shirt. I had heard that on a previous shirt he was at 1.5 shirts per day production…with all the detailing this must have been less.
It's an oversized old school workshirt that I will enjoy beating the crap out of for years to come.
Sizing:
I typically wear a L in IH shirts, Roy's patterning was different, and the main difference for me was chest was larger and shoulder was smaller...also the sleeves are shorter and not patterned for riding like IH, which best suits my gorilla arms, but that's my own issue. In the end a L still made the most sense for me and this shrunk like crazy after the recommended soak, dry and ironing routine Roy used for the measurements. I only soaked once though...he hot soaked twice.
I have pretty much hated Oakland my whole life (being a Denver Bronco fan...Raiders are longtime rivals) but this guy Roy is making Oakland look damn good.
I'll throw some fit pics in when I get the chance.

Took some photos of my Roy jeans I've been wearing for maybe 4 months, 5 or 6 washed.
iPhone camera so the lighting is a little inconsistent.
The Black Seed denim is nice IMO, stubborn but it has some nice streakiness to the indigo dye.
No photos of the back, but here's what I have right now.

Shirts and jeans look great gents, now more fit flicks of that shirt please! [emoji1]
