^ nice!

Picked up mine with the nipples upgrades last week. Needs a soak but then it’ll be perfect.

@neph93
Your fitting looks great without soak.
I am considering tonal 33 , I should do nipples upgrade . What snap is this ?

It's already looking very nice and suits you very well, neph!

Very nice upgrade, @neph93.  It definitely adds something.  One thing I really like about the 33-ind is the contrast of the weft when you roll up the sleeves.  It just seems nicer on this shirt than any other.

@Mustafa911  @Dion @wdw  cheers fellas. I agree that the fit out of the bag is good. There’s room enough for the little bit of shrinkage that is to come. The material seems to have some give in it so I expect it to loosen up a bit with wear.

Guys, in your experience, does it shrink enough and fade quickly enough that getting rid of shrinkage first is wise to avoid weird comb shift at the elbows? Or can I wear it hard before a wash/soak?

@Mustafa911 they are the Good Art 12mm snaps. Better pic:

Thats a good question. I think it depends on how hot the water is. I’ve had three of these (trying to get the best fit) and what I ended up keeping was a XXL washed at 90c in a European washer. The others didn’t shrink hardly at all in an American washer (the ones I had access to didn’t get very hot). So, if you are planning on going with a 90c wash, then probably better to do it now.

I have 33 black and indigo. I washed both and didn’t notice a shrinkage .

I regret washing indigo as I was expected shrinkage which never happened.

If I am you , i would not soak nor wash. Just my 2 cents .

My next indigo will go unsoak and unwash as long as I can

Just like DrBabyhorse I'm too on my third one by this time and in my experience you can squeeze the most shrinkage out of it only when nuking it @ 60° or 90° C in the washing machine. I gave my latest one a hot soak with a 40° wash thereafter and it barely shrunk (if at all).

Wash it Reuben. Mine(my tagged M sold) and my actual tagged L shrink a bit after a gentle wash at 40c. Arms & length the most.

Thank you gentlemen. In other words it behaves similarly to IH wabash. I think I’ll just wear and wash at 40C as the fit is pleasing already.

Or maybe a 40C wash first [emoji1]

I do, I do, and your advice and English is perfect. It’s just that it took me half an hour to write one reply (because kids) and by the time I’d posted it you came in with some more advice [emoji1]

Bling-y nipples ??? Shall we just call them "blips" ?

[ROman]

@neph93 , I wear mine first and then wash. I'm not looking for shrinkage, I wash in cold water, which isn't really all that cold, hang dry. I do it with this shirt, the black denim, and the tonal version.
