      @gaseousclay I know it means grandfather in the south. Not sure how he acquired that moniker, though.

        @DigitalPopsicle I'd say it's more of the former than the latter going by last year's model.

          I believe he is originally from the south somewhere too but don't quote me on that.  I do know he relocated to Long Beach to open up SOP though and I'm almost certain he's from a southern state originally.

            He still looks a touch young to be a grandpa, but I could be wrong- you know how those Southerners are.

              It's like Hispanic families where you can be an uncle when you're 5 years old.  My girlfriend was an aunt when she was 6.

                My shirt came today,and I genuinely had no idea as to what to expect from the fabric. Definitely one of my ongoing IH Holy Shit moments. I’m not sure if it’s as heavy as my 177/18oz denim CPO, but it’s definitely close. I think it’s going to look great with everything. I’ll try and get some pics up tomorrow.

                  When this first was announced, I was definitely on the fence since I own the one from last year. I thought I had too many blue shirts and enough moleskine to go around; however, love last year's model so much, I decided to pick this one up as well. Boy, am I glad I did. It has a really sharp and sophisticated look. The material is awesome as to be expected with anything made from Iron Heart. If you all have the chance to pick this up, I wouldn't pass the opportunity up. I included last year's moleskine just so you can see the evolution.

                        Today, actually. I noticed several food stains.  😃

                        Washed it on cold. Didn't notice any shrinkage.

                              Agreed. I thought I had already acquired all I would for this season, but this one keeps beckoning me. I would certainly be sizing up, if I take the plunge.

                              Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                                I um’ed and ah’ed over the Large I bought in this shirt, but the fit is just not right and I should’ve gone for the XL, which are unfortunately sold out now. If it had fit, this may have been my favourite IH shirt that I own, and I spent ages trying to convince myself it fit. If mine fitted any near as well as @Wlemon ‘s i would have been very happy indeed. Will try to get an XL from R&H.

                                      My shirt arrived today.  There are white lines and spots in various locations.

                                      The photo below shows the back of the shirt.  White lines corresponding to the placket location are clearly visible.  These are visible in other non-pictured locations as well.

                                      Is this expected?  Was it due to these being washed hard at the factory and therefore permanent?  Or is it possible to make them go away?

                                        I noticed this on mine as well. They went away after I wore it once. Maybe the Crew knows if that isn't the case.

                                          I suspect it is just the way the pile has settled in transit.  As @Wlemon says, it should settle down with a wear or two…

                                            From my experience, this fabric, while beautiful, shows wear more than the tan version. I stepped on it with my sock, and a clear imprint could be seen for a bit. It went away, though.
