Dang it...my birthday is in June too and I've been searching for something to gift myself. Would be a great piece to wear in the fall time as well.

@Graham did you not soak it before washing? Wondering if the brief marbling is a result of which....not knocking it by any means, I like the way it looks and might skip a presoak if I end up giving in to the awesomeness that is this shirt.

@Graham I'm also curious about that soak and the washing parameters used to do the initial shrink. How did you guys do it?

[AdamJ]

@ARNC I'll definitely wear the CPO with SBG jeans, maybe not underneath the jacket though.

@Heavy_blue Great shout, there will be a lot of interest in both western and CPO I'm sure!

@Kasi you're an inspiration.

@Karol both Western and CPO samples underwent a shrink test so we could see how the denim behaves, which is why the image in the top post has some marbling. I don't recall off the top of my head but I expect it was the same settings we always use at IHUK, 30c, 800RPM for 30mins. Unsure if it was washed inside out etc. But yes, will definitely be treading carefully when giving my one in the initial soak after almost burning myself by going gung-ho when washing the Type III sample!

@AdamJ love to see you wearing full SBG geared up my man! I’m hyped for this one maybe.. a hint? Begin june, middle june, the end of june?

@Kasi you look sharp brother

[AdamJ]

@Heavy_blue Last update was June. We always err on the side of caution with these estimates too as there as so many factors to take in to consideration. I suspect Late June/Early July.

Of course I will start making noise when they're in bound

@AdamJ thank you very much! How’s your jacket comming along btw?

[AdamJ]

@Heavy_blue Not too bad, I posted some shots of it here two weeks ago. Has had a fair bit of wear since then, so I'll take some more next week.

My lefty Type III has been on all week, I will post pics of that later!

@AdamJ - can’t wait for the noise. I have gone from Western to now CPO (subject to sizing). In my very indecisive moments, I toy with the idea of buying both!

[Kasi]

Thanks for the positive vibe @AdamJ

Thanks for the warm wishes @Heavy_blue

Think I need to make a bit of room in my wardrobe, want to get both western and the CPO
Think I need to sell a few westerns I haven’t worn in a while.
Do I sell my Johnny cash ? And the 295 BB ?

[Kasi]

No you don’t they both top class

I have both of them wouldn’t dream of selling them

[Jcaz6996]

[Kasi]

@Jcaz6996

Dude, you only have 5 black shirts?! What if you fall into a denim emo phase?? You had better order 2 of these 16oz shirts just to cover your bases

[ARNC]

@Jcaz6996 you don’t think you need 5 black shirts now. If you offload a couple, you’ll know you need 5 black shirts (but won’t have them)!

[goosehd]

Two is one, one is none…five is barely acceptable.

[Jcaz6996]
