@Dion:

Good choice, neph!

Such a lovely shirt! Those silver nips do add some nice flavour to it…

Good fit, you got it just right. Did you get around to taking the post-wash measurements?

[neph93]

Thank you and no, I did not, it slipped my mind. I’ll do it this weekend and tag you with the results.

TIA! I didn't mean to push the agenda but seeing your fit-pic made me rethink my current non-wash stance…

Plus adding to the denim-science is never a futile undertaking, like.

[neph93]

Not at all, I’m interested to see myself. Thanks for the reminder.

Ok… the before is based on Alex’s measurements of the same shirt, the after is after a 40C wash with low spin and air dry. It’s all in centimetres. Because Europe.

Before/After
Shoulder 48/47,4
Length 78/76.8
Chest 58,8/58
Sleeve 66.6/65.5

Thanks a ton! For you it was obviously worth it as the post-wash fit looks like you’ve been wearing this shirt for a couple of months, instead of the actual couple of days… if that makes sense.

Did you perceive any, eh, perceptible indigo-loss as a make-weight for the precision fit?

[neph93]

It was pretty stuffed with indigo out of the bag and that calmed down a little after the wash. I soaked the shirt with the shower head before washing and even then saw indigo pouring out. So there has been some but it still looks dark and even and I doubt very much that it is going to affect its potential for evo.

One year in and the placket stitching hasn't held. I wear this about 4 times a month and it's been soaked once and washed twice. Going off to IHUK for repair. Getting some nice evo too.

I figured that when the crew saw the picture they would take care of it love to see the fixed pictures when you get it back

Fully agreed, the negative side is that it'll be quite expensive to replace your existing clothing

In case you’ve ever watched The Matrix or read Alice in Wonderland, this is what going down the rabbit hole feels like [emoji1]
